Limited Availability of iPhone Duo for Store Pickup Resumes

As of now, customers in several countries, including Australia, China, Japan, and South Korea, can start to reserve the iPhone Duo for Apple Store pickup through Apple’s online shop. However, the availability is notably scarce, with minimal to no time slots offered for various configurations.

Current Reservation Status

During a recent check, our team found only one iPhone Duo ready for pickup in Australia. This unit, however, was quickly reserved before the publication of this article. The screenshot below captures this fleeting moment of availability:

Updates from Other Regions

In other regions such as the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Singapore, Apple’s online store has advised customers to return on Saturday, October 24, to check again for store pickup slots. It’s anticipated that more locations will activate their reservation systems as the weekend progresses across time zones.

High Demand for iPhone Duo

Just hours after its pre-order launch, Apple characterized the iPhone Duo’s demand as “nothing short of extraordinary,” leading to delivery estimates stretching into late January. This overwhelming demand explains the current scarcity of Apple Store pickup slots.

Prior Pickup Options

Initially, Apple Store pickup was available briefly at the beginning of the iPhone Duo pre-orders. However, this option vanished rapidly as excitement surged among potential buyers, resulting in significant queues forming at various Apple Stores worldwide.

Final Notes

For those who could not secure an iPhone Duo through walk-in visits, monitoring the store pickup tool could provide a favorable alternative. We advise frequent refreshing of the iPhone Duo order page in the coming days for updated availability.
