GoKawiilApple opens iPhone Duo 'Get Ready' pre-order setup on October 12
Apple confirmed shoppers can begin its 'Get ready' process for the iPhone Duo on Monday, October 12, letting buyers pre-select color, storage, carrier, and payment method ahead of time. Actual pre-orders open Friday, October 16 at 8:00 a.m. ET / 5:00 a.m. PT, and completing the setup early is meant to speed up checkout that morning.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Faster checkout at launch typically improves a buyer's odds of securing launch-day delivery before stock is allocated to later shipping windows. The move also signals Apple is treating iPhone Duo, its foldable device, with the same high-demand launch playbook used for flagship iPhones.
- 'Get ready' setup begins October 12 for the iPhone Duo.
- Pre-orders officially open October 16 at 8:00 a.m. ET.
- Early setup can improve chances of on-time launch day delivery.
