Apple announces that customers can begin an early “Get Ready” setup for iPhone Duo pre-orders starting October 12, ahead of formal pre-order availability. Pre-orders themselves open on October 16, when customers can place orders for the new foldable iPhone.
Sources describe “Get Ready” as a guided process that prepares an order so it can be submitted more quickly once pre-orders launch. It includes steps such as selecting a color and storage capacity, confirming carrier information, choosing accessories, picking an AppleCare+ plan, adding trade-in details, entering a payment method, and setting shipping and billing addresses. MacRumors reports the feature appears on the iPhone Duo product page and that users can use it to complete orders more efficiently.
Reporting also highlights timing and pricing details. Pre-orders are set to start on October 16 at 8 a.m. ET (5 a.m. PT), with iPhone Duo availability beginning October 23. Pricing is expected to start at $1,999, and some outlets note expectations of limited supply, with pre-orders potentially selling out quickly.
