Apple opens iPhone Duo pre-order setup ahead of Friday launch

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 12 Oct, 17:32 · Archive

Apple has opened its 'Get Ready' feature to let customers pre-select preferences before iPhone Duo pre-orders go live on Friday.

Apple has opened its 'Get Ready' feature to allow customers to pre-select their preferences before iPhone Duo pre-orders go live on Friday 16 October at 5 a.m. Pacific Time or 8 a.m. Eastern Time. The feature is available on Apple's online store and in the Apple Store app.

The 'Get Ready' option lets customers select colour and storage capacity, confirm carrier status, choose accessories, pick an AppleCare+ plan, select a trade-in device, add a payment method, and set a shipping and billing address. By completing these steps in advance, customers can place their order with a single click when pre-orders begin.

Apple has indicated that supplies of the iPhone Duo are expected to be limited. The device launches on 23 October, and both outlets note that pre-orders could sell out within minutes. MacRumors reports that multiple reports have cited production issues leading to supply constraints. Apple has also listed trade-in rebates of up to $885 for unlocked devices for those pre-ordering on launch day.
