As amended, the two are equal.
 
Both sentences seem to need the past tense.

I made a reservation...
I ordered an iPhone 6 Plus...
 
MikeNewYork,
I'm doing it now,not just finished at the moment.
Is it ok?
 
I think you should use the present continuous if you are doing it now, but I am not a teacher.
 
Polyester, if you are in the process, then I agree with Matthew; use the present continuous.
 
Note the correct way to write "iPhone" (lower case "i", upper case "P"). It is an official, copyright product name and must be written correctly.

You are asking a hypothetical question of a group of English grammar teachers. That's why your usage is correct.
