[King-Boss]

Hello everyone in the ee community it’s that time again of the year placing and tracking the new iPhone 16 and 16 pro max’s orders and especially since a few years with delay issues with ee 😂 and then ringing them up and patiently waiting for that DPD notification I love this time of the year, so everyone I have created this thread and everyone stay posted in this thread don’t follow any other thread keep this one running guys if we keep each other updated then hopefully we get the iPhone this year on time on release day.

You will get it, depends on how fast ee is processing the orders.

How many phones do you think that could of gone to normal people like everyone on here who are waiting to just use as their phone, have gone to content creators who brought every style or ones in multiple colours just so they could do videos on them and compare?

Got my PM BT on Friday which I'm happy with. However, I went for that colour to match the Watch I also upgraded and I got told by EE yesterday the Watch delivery is likely to be around 6 weeks! Really wasn't expecting that and given I only upgraded my phone to match the Watch im now considering in cancelling my upgrade and sending the phone back! The excitement for this years products (like last year) has just gone and I’m not feeling the energy of chasing them for updates this year. Disappointing to say the least but I should be use to the consistent disappointment with EE when it comes to Apple releases! 

Hope everyone gets their device soon but for me, much rather just send it back and pay off my 15. Save my self the stress of it all. Good luck everyone!

How strange mines the complete opposite i got my black titanium ultra watch 2 on Friday yet I'm still waiting for the phone, I haven't even got an iPhone atm so I can't use the watch it's just sat there collecting dust 🤦🏻‍♂️

What day and time did you order your Watch and what band did you get? Im only asking as they’re insisting NO ONE could pre-order the Watch before 13th. I ordered mine at 6:30am on the 13th. 

Strange isn’t the word I would use personally - just EE doing EE things for every launch!

So i ordered on Wednesday the 18th with the black fabric strap and it came on launch day, I'm annoyed with my phone i ordered that on the 13th and was told the 20th but I can't even track the progress 

[Mistr_ZeN]

Ok so EE themselves don't even know when their own pre-orders went live! That explains why mine so delayed! I’ll be lucky if I get it by xmas! 

What phone did you order?

[Hirisoka]

That's exactly the impression I got as well, I completely agree with your frustration, I ordered the 16 pro max in black titanium with 512gb of storage and they won't even remotely suggest when I can expect my device just to wait for a text from dpd which is highly frustrating
