[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.

Yes maybe that’s what’s happened. I was thinking of getting the pro through
sky don’t know if they will upgrade a sim only deal to a phone not been
with them long.
Will be 2 weeks for me the 28 days won’t end for me while the 3rd at least
but now says 21 days so maybe it will be quicker and hopefully it will be
delivered next week

I had mine this January so the rush had chance to calm down and I had it next day but I thought I would upgrade now. I’m going to keep the iPhone 16pm for 24 months and do the upgrade again then as I don’t want to be stuck with the same issue again

Your best off heard too they ain’t bringing another phone out every year
now ain’t apple they going to be leaving it 2 years

[Jodie893]

I haven’t heard that but then hopefully if they do that then they will prepare in more time and give out the enough phones from the start 

[Becky163]

Yes well that’s what I was thinking hun. Be probably not a bad thing
really

 I ordered on the 6th of October and at the end of the first week got a “your order is on track” and at the 2 week mark I got a “your order is coming soon” and also they’ve dispatched something to me that isn’t the phone. Likely a case by the sounds of previous customers responses. I think they’re just trying to placate us lol. I don’t mind waiting so much, but I’m moving at the end of the month so I’m not sure what I’ll do if it isn’t here by then!

I just  had this through via email, which was random, yeah so looks like I’m a week behind you, as I only got my ‘order is on track’ yesterday

Says on apples website 2-3 weeks for desert titanium-not sure if that’s from now or when order is placed

Can anyone shed some light on what is going on with the delays to the 1TB models of the 16 pro max? When ordering on the 22nd I was told within 28 days, I wouldn’t mind but I ordered on pre order and the order got “stuck” so had to re order on 22nd now it’s been just over 28 days and nothing. I’ve seen people with other variants get their phones in 2 weeks.

anyone else that has ordered the 1TB and actually received it? When did you order so I can get a rough estimate of how long extra I’m going to be waiting. 

im going on holiday on the 4th November so im really hoping it will come by then!

Well… abit of good news for us hopefully, I spoke to CS last night regarding a matter I had, the lady I spoke to advised me that most of the pro max wait time has dropped to within 21 days some are within 14 and 7.. I also asked is that from date of order or date of yesterday and she said order - so hopefully by the end of this week or next week we will all have our much waited for devices 

it also says this online on ee if you go to order a new one it says within 7/14/21 which is an improvement.. 🥳🥳
