If you plan to purchase an iPhone Duo, you're going to have to be savvy about pre-ordering. Excitement for Apple's first foldable iPhone is high, and initial stocks are expected to be limited.
The iPhone Duo launches on October 23, while pre-orders go live on October 16 at 5 a.m. Pacific Time or 8 a.m. Eastern Time. However, you can take action before then and increase the chances of locking in a launch-day model.
Increase Your Chances of Getting iPhone Duo on Launch Day
People who plan to purchase an iPhone Duo can go through Apple's "Get Ready" process starting on Monday, October 12.
Get Ready is an option available on Apple's online store and in its Apple Store app, and it lets you select a preferred color and capacity ahead of time. It also lets you confirm your carrier status, choose your accessories, pick an AppleCare+ plan, select a trade-in, add a payment method, and set a shipping and billing address.
When pre-orders go live, Get Ready is helpful because it allows you to essentially perform a one-tap order. That's a real advantage when it comes to iPhone Duo, given that supplies are expected to be limited.
Pre-orders could sell out within minutes – there are reports of production issues leading to supply constraints, and users who have Get Ready will be able to submit orders faster.
So come Monday, be sure to visit Apple's website or Apple Store app and complete the Get Ready process. You won't regret it.
