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. Rather than turn up on the day, however, Apple encourages customers to take action before then and increase the chances of securing their preferred model on day one of sales.
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.
Get Ready is really helpful because when pre-orders go live, 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.
It’s been said before about other iPhones, but pre-orders of the iPhone Duo really could sell out within minutes – there have been multiple reports of production issues leading to supply constraints, and users who have completed Get Ready will be able to submit orders faster.
So if you’re set on being one of the first to get hold of Apple’s debut foldable, make sure to visit Apple’s website or Apple Store app and complete the Get Ready process now.
