Also as someone who worked for all the UK networks for a decade and has been writing about tech for nearly two decades, I think it's partially calculated. They know that few people will go ahead and actually cancel, especially when stock levels are hard to come by if you haven't ordered already. I fully suspect this is intentional or just a lack of care.

I also worked for O2 when they were Apples main launch partner in the UK and even then, Apple always under delivered. So EE would have been working to the the numbers they ordered with some room for negative flex. I am not excusing the shambolic handling of their launches. But still my point remains, if they used the word expected, I know and you know as a writer, language used is everything. Especially regarding the case you intend to make.

to

  • Estimated arrival on: Your order is in hand. Check back later for your delivery date.

At least it’s some progress!

I mean really it's gone from no estimated date to no estimated date.

I had the exact same. XK0 order placed at 13:12 on Friday, come sunday "you must get in touch before we cancel your order". The tariff I was assigned on the upgrade page "does not work with the Duo o I need ot make a new order" and now to the back of the queue.

Spent most of the week on complaints with them to say an issue on your back end now pushes my delivery to who knows when , all I get now is a 28+ days as everyone else.

I ordered the new iPhone pro max black 512gb end of September and received two “getting your order ready” emails last week. Now my order is delayed. When I ordered, it stated “usually dispatches within 14 days” that is now “usually dispatches within 7 days”. The timing for new orders is shorter yet I’m still waiting for my order.
