People who plan to buy an iPhone Duo can begin the “Get Ready” process on Monday, October 12, a detail that was added to the iPhone Duo product page yesterday. This preparation step is intended to speed ordering once pre-orders go live.
How iPhone Duo “Get Ready” streamlines ordering
Get Ready lets users select a preferred color and capacity, confirm carrier status, choose accessories, pick an AppleCare+ plan, select a trade-in, add a payment method, and set shipping and billing addresses. When pre-orders begin, the process enables one-tap ordering, which can shorten checkout time.
The feature is expected to be especially useful because supplies of the iPhone Duo are anticipated to be limited. Pre-orders could sell out within minutes given reports of production issues leading to supply constraints, and customers who complete Get Ready will be able to submit orders faster.
iPhone Duo pre-orders will begin on Friday, October 16 at 5 a.m. Pacific Time (8 a.m. Eastern Time). The device will launch on Friday, October 23, with pricing starting at $1,999.
