You can now start the iPhone Duo pre-order process

iPhone Duo pre-orders officially kick off on Friday, but Apple is letting you prepare now. Starting today, you can head to the Apple Store Online or Apple Store app and save your exact iPhone Duo configuration.

Apple has offered this “get ready for pre-order” window for the last several years. It allows you to streamline the pre-order process by preparing key details ahead of time. This includes the iPhone Duo color, storage, and carrier options.

You can also prepare your iPhone Duo pre-order payment method. You can pay in full, finance with Apple Card, join the Apple Upgrade program, or check for applicable carrier offers.

  • Completed. Earlier, I considered securing a 12-month lease by trading in the iPhone 17 Pro Max for $885; however, that approach would have been disadvantageous. The total cost would have amounted to $885 plus $9.95 per month for 12 months—$1,182.20—with no residual value after the term. Instead, I opted for a trade-in with Apple Card financing. After 12 months, I expect to trade in this device pair, apply the proceeds toward the remaining balance, and upgrade to a new model. The outcomes may appear similar, but the financial structure is more favorable.

If you complete this process ahead of time, you can check out in just a couple of taps when iPhone Duo pre-orders officially begin on Friday morning.

The new “get ready” option is available today and will likely run through much of the day on Friday, October 15. You’ll then have to return to the Apple Store app or website on Friday, October 16 at 5 a.m. PT/8 a.m. ET to finalize your order.

Are you pre-ordering an iPhone Duo? If so, are you choosing Night Sky or Star White? Let us know down in the comments.
