[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.

When did you place order for the phone?…and to my surprise this shortage is everywhere and has affected all network companies in the uk 

[Becky163]

How has your order been dispatched and other hasn’t who’s is that that’s
been dispatched

[Becky163]

When was it you ordered yours if it’s been dispatched

[Dkelly1]

Well ordered 36 days ago and still waiting for dispatch EE this is awful

Mine hasn’t been despatched it was meant to be here today so they told but it won’t be now

Sorry to be a pain, did you say you ordered on. 8th of October - after having a mess up? 
your status of confirmed to ‘on track’ changed on 15th of October - but yours doesn’t say dispatched can you track it through dpd or do u not have a tracking number yet? Hopefully this week everyone’s going will change, on apple website it’s showing 2-3 weeks for delivery of the desert titanium to UK xx

That’s ok, yes I originally ordered on the 26th September but they upgraded the wrong phone then when I sent my iPhone 15 pro max of they couldn’t take it as it wasn’t done correctly so likewize finally sent my phone back to me and then on the 8th of october I had to reorder it only this time with the correct upgrade and with the promotional offer sent to likewize. It’s not been despatched and it’s not on DPD app yet either. Hopefully we’ll receive them this week x

Yeah similar happened to me I ordered in sept - can’t remember the date and they messed it up, re ordered 13-10 mine was saying just pre-order confirmed then yesterday 20-10 it’s saying ‘your order is on track’ so hopefully with abit of luck there is a dispatch notification this week or some kind of update,

sooo frustrating - apple should know the demand as it’s the same every year and gets no better 

[Jodie893]

It’s my very first upgrade as I don’t normally use contract phones and as I had upgrade anytime I thought I would treat myself, so this is all new to me but they should of knew the demand and sent more out to stores, hopefully we’ll receive them soon though

I went with sky last year but my husband took that phone on but it was exactly the same it was awful for the 15 PM I think I had it 29th of October and I ordered on pre order day, and looks like same has happened this year apple are never prepare for the high demand which they should be.
