Pre-orders for the iPhone Duo officially kick off on Friday, but Apple is letting customers prepare ahead of time. Starting today, shoppers can visit the Apple Store Online or the Apple Store app and save their exact iPhone Duo configuration.
Apple has offered this "get ready for pre-order" window for the last several years. It allows buyers to streamline the process by settling key details in advance, including the iPhone Duo color, storage, and carrier options. Customers can also set up their preferred payment method. Options include paying in full, financing with Apple Card, joining the Apple Upgrade program, or checking for applicable carrier offers.
By completing these steps ahead of time, buyers can check out in just a couple of taps when 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. Shoppers will then need to return to the Apple Store app or website on Friday, October 16 at 5 a.m. PT / 8 a.m. ET to finalize their order.
Readers planning to pre-order an iPhone Duo can weigh in on their color choice, with Night Sky or Star White among the options.
