The iPhone Duo pre-orders are officially underway, with Apple rolling out a Get Ready option that lets you lock in your preferred configuration before orders go live. If you want a shot at one of the most sought-after foldables this year, you’ll want to set up Get Ready now because the launch window can fill up quickly.
Get Ready appears in Apple’s online store and the Apple Store app. It doesn’t place an order by itself, but it preloads your choices so you can complete a one-tap checkout when pre-orders start. Apple says this helps buyers who expect limited supply to secure their preferred model on day one.
Pre-orders officially begin on Friday, Oct 16 at 5 a.m. PT / 8 a.m. ET, and the iPhone Duo is set to launch on Oct 23. If you’re hoping to snag one the first day, starting your Get Ready setup now is a smart move. Once you reach the launch moment, you’ll be able to submit your order quickly and in a single tap, assuming stock holds up in your color and storage choice.
The iPhone Duo is Apple’s debut foldable, designed to unfold into a larger screen while keeping the familiar iPhone experience. Folding phones tend to attract early buyers who want extra screen real estate for apps, multitasking and media. Because supply is often tight for new form factors, Apple’s Get Ready feature is meant to reduce the friction of placing an order as soon as pre-orders go live.
To use Get Ready, visit the online store or open the Apple Store app, then select the iPhone Duo. You’ll be able to choose color, storage capacity, carrier options, AppleCare+, trade-in, and a payment method. You can also pick accessories and set your shipping and billing addresses ahead of time. When pre-orders begin, you should be able to complete your order with just a couple of taps if you’ve already saved your preferences.
Apple typically offers multiple color and storage configurations for the Duo, with stock varying by region. The Get Ready setup focuses on your preferred combination so you don’t have to manually re-enter details during the maximum busy moment on launch day. If you’re not sure you want to go foldable this year, you can still watch the process and decide later in the week.
If you want to increase your odds of grabbing the Duo on day one, start the Get Ready process now. It won’t place an order you didn’t authorize, but it can shave precious seconds off checkout time. Set a reminder for Oct 16 and double-check your financing option before pre-orders open so you’re not scrambling to decide in the moment.
On Oct 16, you can trigger the pre-order window by tapping your saved configuration. If your preferred model is in stock, you’ll complete the order quickly. If your preferred option runs out, you may need to pivot to an alternate color or storage size. Apple will likely post updated availability details as pre-orders approach the launch date.
Pre-orders begin on Fri, Oct 16 at 5 a.m. PT / 8 a.m. ET. The launch is scheduled for Oct 23.
Get Ready is Apple’s option to configure your iPhone Duo in advance so you can complete a fast, one-tap checkout on launch day.
