[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.

Tell them you want to change for a bigger memory size

 I got 3 emails saying same think Still no update and I’ve been waiting 21 days that customer service I think I might join with sky because they’re guaranteed to get the phone to you the next day and it’s cheaper

[Becky163]

Yes sky is cheaper to be fair I can’t get one with sky until 12 months been
so the them

 I have two orders showing so I think they have added the one minute accessory bundle too. Good luck with your orders I’m glad I threatened to leave and chose a bigger memory device now

Did you get a text message from EE before dpd? I’ve done the same today, cancelled my order from 9th October and upgraded to the bigger memory 512gb, the email says estimated delivery tomorrow which my previous email didn’t and I’ve just received a message 

“Hi Georgina, Aimee from EE here. I'll be providing you with updates about your Upgrade order.

You've signed up for the plan with your iPhone 16 Pro Max 512GB Natural Titanium.

We're busy getting your order ready, once DPD confirm your parcel number I'll send you a link to track and manage your delivery.

If something doesn't look right or you didn't place this order, reply "ORDER". You can also get help and ask any question by replying to this message and we'll take a look.”

but I also didn’t receive this message with the last order so I’m wondering if that’s a positive sign? 

[Jodie893]

I had an update from DPD first then EE afterwards. It should be with you tomorrow mines coming tomorrow and I think they have added the minute one bundle too 

[Gee2171]

My email says minute one bundle £24.99 but I didn’t request it nor did the EE guide specify it whilst ordering so I wonder if that’ll be coming too? Such a farce isn’t it but fingers crossed it comes tomorrow! X

[Jodie893]

I’ve just looked and I’ve had no emails for the minute one bundle so as it says both from EE I imagine it is the bundle too. It really is I originally ordered the 26th September then they cancelled due to upgrading it wrong then again on the 8th I cancelled that today and now placed it this morning with the bigger memory and it’s coming tomorrow 3rd time lucky I say. But it is a farce and they shouldn’t be taking that long to send orders out either 

[Jodie893]

Just looked now and my EE app says this and this was after my DPD notification. Hopefully everyone gets there phones soon too. The 256GB are apparently still out of stock so when I went to leave altogether they done this phone for me with the same plan and cost which I wasn’t expecting at all. It’s worth calling them I  think and threaten to leave and see what they can offer you 

[Gee2171]

I can’t see the picture annoyingly! 

I was getting more frustrated because my partner upgraded through Vodafone on the 11th October and his was delivered on the 15th and they were advertising end of the month for delivery! The Guide didn’t specify a date just that it says 3 days on the website so I’ll just wait impatiently and see if any updates come through from DPD! I wasn’t even planning on upgrading but my phone keeps crashing and I’m a big picture taker so I really need it 🤣 

roll on tomorrow for you! You’d think by now, Apple would have this whole pre-order thing organised.
