Apple warns that the iPhone Duo goes on sale Friday October 23 with limited walk-in availability due to extraordinary demand since pre-orders began. Walk-in stock will be offered in the US, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Mexico, Germany, the Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Türkiye, the UK, and select Apple Stores in Italy; Macao will have limited walk-in sales only on launch day.
In France, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and the UAE, walk-in purchases are prohibited on launch day. Customers must reserve a pickup slot via Apple's online store, though the store currently advises checking back on Saturday, October 24, leaving launch-day reservations uncertain. Apple says the restrictions aim to manage crowds and fight scalpers, with a two-per-person purchase cap.
Pre-order shipping dates have been pulled forward for many buyers after slipping to January.
