Apple announces when you can start the iPhone Duo pre-order process
Apple says shoppers can save color, storage, carrier and payment choices ahead of the Oct. 16 pre-order launch.
Apple announced that customers can begin the iPhone Duo pre-order process on Monday, October 12, four days before official sales start. This early window allows users to save preferences in advance.
When Apple launches a major new model, it typically offers a 'Get ready' window for customers to make selections in advance. The company confirmed it will do the same for the upcoming iPhone Duo.
Reddit users reported that the pre-order page allows customers to pick finish, storage, trade-in options, financing, AppleCare coverage, and a preferred carrier. The 'Continue' button remains greyed out until the window opens.
By completing selections ahead of time, shoppers can minimize potential hiccups on Friday, October 16 and improve their chances of securing launch day delivery. This preparation streamlines the checkout process.
Official pre-orders go live at 5 a.m. PT on Friday, October 16, with the iPhone Duo scheduled to start shipping on October 23. The 'Get ready' process will likely remain available through October 15.
