Apple has introduced a 'Get Ready' feature on its Online Store and Apple Store app, letting customers pick their iPhone Duo model, color, storage, carrier, trade-in and accessories ahead of time. Shoppers can also set up payment and shipping details before pre-orders officially open on Friday. Apple will then automatically place the order once the purchase window begins.

A UI engineer who worked at Apple's online store from 2004-2006 shared how he redesigned the 'Personalize your iPod' page to replace a plain form with a rotatable iPod graphic, a live engraving preview, and a shipping-time highlight. The rotation used cycling JPEGs via JavaScript, ImageMagick generated the engraved text overlay, and CSS class swaps produced a yellow-fade effect to flag shipping changes. He notes a working demo of the old feature still exists.
