Apple has opened the “Get Ready” portal for the iPhone Duo — its first foldable smartphone, letting customers lock in key configuration choices ahead of pre-orders, which begin this Friday, October 16, at 5 a.m. Pacific Time (8 a.m. Eastern Time). The device launches globally on October 23. Neither MacRumors nor 9to5Mac reports pricing.
No US dollar figure, no Indian rupee amount, no UK or EU equivalent. That absence stands out, especially given how precisely Apple usually signals flagship pricing weeks in advance. But both outlets agree on urgency: supplies are expected to be limited, with multiple reports citing production issues that could constrain early availability.
MacRumors notes those constraints mean pre-orders may sell out within minutes, and that users who complete Get Ready gain a real advantage in speed. It’s not a reservation system. It’s a checkout accelerator. You won’t secure stock by signing up, but you will skip address entry, carrier confirmation, accessory selection, AppleCare+ enrollment, trade-in setup, and payment method input when pre-orders go live. 9to5Mac confirms the same prep window is available now and will likely remain open through Thursday, October 15.
