Here are the details.<\/p>\n<p>Apple will let you \u2018Get ready\u2019 for iPhone Duo pre-orders beginning October 12 for fastest checkout<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/iphone-duo-get-ready-pre-order.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1072006\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Apple launches a major new iPhone model, it usually offers a window of time during which you can \u2018Get ready\u2019 for the pre-order by making your selections in advance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company just confirmed it will do the same for iPhone Duo. Per a new update on Apple\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/shop\/buy-iphone\/iphone-duo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a>, you can begin the iPhone Duo pre-order process as early as Monday, October 12.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starting October 12, and likely running through much of the day October 15, you\u2019ll be able to go to the Apple Store app or Apple\u2019s online store and make your pre-order selections in advance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This includes choosing your iPhone Duo color, storage amount, wireless carrier, payment method, and more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By completing this process ahead of time, Apple says you can get through checkout faster when iPhone Duo pre-orders go live on Friday, October 16 at 8:00 a.m. ET \/ 5:00 a.m. PT.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you haven\u2019t done it before, I highly recommend the \u2018Get ready\u2019 process to anyone ordering directly from Apple. It\u2019s a great way to minimize potential hiccups on the morning of pre-orders, which means you\u2019ll have a better chance of launch day delivery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you buying an iPhone Duo?
