I have had a lot more luck with the Web Chat from EE - took about 35 minutes to get through on the phone, they told me that they couldn't tell me anything, and that there was 'no such thing' as an order number beginning with 02; got through to web chat much quicker and they were able to give me the details immediately lol:

Official iPhone 14 Pro Max leather case arrived today. Very nice purple tint to go with my new phone.

Below is two pics which it next to a dark blue iPhone 13 Pro Caseology case and a black iPhone 13 Pro Spigen case.

You may have just made me buy yet another case for a phone I don’t have yet, I like the dual colour of that Caseology one.
 
Another one 😂.

From EE community. God knows what are they smoking at EE.

Just phoned them myself, the same thing happened to me.



Cancelled order and replaced with a new order. I asked about delivery on Friday and she told me they're aiming for Friday for all pre orders. So now just wait and see if the tracker is updated I guess.''

what would be great the iPhones could charge with the watch charing puck too... now that the new AirPods can, it would be great to have a single portable cable for them all!

I'd be loathed to buy a MagSafe duo
Or maybe if the Watch could charge off an iPhone MagSafe cable? It would look a big goofy, but I think a watch charger on the back of an iPhone would look even more silly. 🤣

I really don’t get the bloodthirst for USB-C. I absolutely agree that it should and will happen eventually and it will be much handier just having one cable for everything, but would that really be the thing that makes you upgrade? The convenience of a cable?
Convenience of the cable for sure, but being able to transfer large files much faster will be a huge benefit. Especially if it’s for a non Mac based system with no AirDrop, the USB-2 speeds are just not good enough. Assuming 8K becomes a popular format soon that would make it much worse if they stick to the current connecter speeds.
 
Ok me not panicking any more.

Rang EE just now. Spoke to a very helpful lady.

She confirmed status of both my orders has been changed from 'Open Sales Order' to 'Picked' so very likely I'll be getting my devices on launch day and via DPD.


I can almost guarantee if you call them back, you'll speak with another "....very helpful lady" who will say that your order is arriving in a week's time by UKMAIL!!!

Their CS really is pot luck depending on who you get!!

Oh believe me, I don't trust anyone who has even a slight association with EE (and that includes customers such as myself), but at least I managed to get the order number that the phone team told me didn't exist!

Hello,
I didn't pre order on Friday , checked and delivery is now 13-20 October , i have no problem going to collect from my nearest store Solihull, at the moment its not available for collection, am i right in thinking that the collection date at the moment would only be the 16th anyway, and possibly will go live to collect after that , stock permitting.

From personal experience, I honestly wouldn't pay too much attention to what EE advisors state and that includes those supposedly "higher up" in the "executive" office.

Can't recall if it was the 12 or 11, I couldn't track the order, no confirmation e-mail, no upfront payment so couldn't check if anything was taken etc. I called a few times and eventually a couple of days before the release date, I was told by the "executive office" that they'd had stock issues and I wouldn't be getting it on release date. He was supposedly looking at a "stock matrix" and could see what was due and when. I was given a discount on my plan, money back into my bank etc. and it turned up on the release date via DPD. Go figure!
 
I called EE
they said my iPhone has been picked and will be with me on Friday.

I said theres delays with some iPhones she goes there is an up to 21 day lead time on Pro Max Orders.

Even if you order another iPhone Pro (Not max) from EE today they are still showing

I think they do this because they get some sort of commission
Or they have XKO numbers and the Order isn’t actually placed

So in summary, EE might tell you that everything is fine but you end up getting the phone in November, OR they might tell you that everything is f*cked but you get it on day one, and any possible combination in between.
