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.

Its says 21 days for yours, i don’t think you’ll be waiting that long. Mine, the natural titanium was also 21 days and its came out in less than that by a week.

Thanks for that Robinsonboy1. Just to clarify 21 days from the day I placed the order (10th October) or 21 days from today. It would be great if it was from 10th but anything less than 28 days is a bonus I suppose 😁

I still have to wait 2 weeks or maybe not as long now.

[Lukee_O]

Did you place yours on 10th as well or later?

[Alicia341]

I’ve placed my order on the 9th of October for 256 NT iPhone pro max , my status hasn’t changed on EE app and when I’ve phone them they said it could be a month waiting! 
They don’t know when the stock will arrive which it is weird / I’m not really sure what to think about it . 

[Becky163]

Wow they saying a month why they taking so long with them. I’ve ordered one
still waiting ordered 10-14 days ago nearly

[Alicia341]

Tbh I have no idea , every time I call customer service I have a different story . They just don’t know so it’s pointless to call them … if I would know it will be that long I would order a different phone … I thought they will know when more stock is coming but …. no

[Becky163]

I know that’s to sell them because the price is high they will sell it you
phone then tell them you want the pro hun that will be about 1-2 weeks for
delivery said 28 days for mine so impatient

[Lukee_O]

It is true that every single time you call them you gonna get a different story as to the date. Either way it is quite naughty from EE that they cannot touch base with their customers on delivery date. At the end of the day they surely know stock they get and when it's due despite high demand. As opposed to good customer service they opt for silly selling tactics and keep everyone who ordered iPhone 16 Pro/Pro Max in a limbo playing waiting game. No doubt that some people will get more frustrated than others and will eventually cancel their orders or switch to a competitor carrier all together. For the time being I will play this dull game just not sure for how long. But you know what they say Guys, patience is a virtue!!!🤣😂🤣

[Becky163]

I agree with you on that one they should be able to tell you an exact date.
Says for the black 21 days so around 13 days for me
