Apple Opens $1,999 iPhone Duo Get Ready on Oct. 12 as Supplies Risk Selling Out

3 articles · Updated · MacRumors · Sep 28

Summary

  • Oct. 12 marks the start of Apple’s “Get Ready” process for the iPhone Duo, letting buyers preconfigure orders before pre-sales open at 5 a.m. Pacific on Oct. 16.
  • The tool lets shoppers choose color, capacity, carrier status, accessories, AppleCare+, trade-in, payment method, and shipping and billing details for one-tap checkout.
  • Limited supply is driving the push: reports of production issues suggest the foldable phone could sell out within minutes once pre-orders begin.
  • The iPhone Duo—Apple’s first foldable iPhone—starts at $1,999 and is scheduled to reach customers and stores on Oct. 23.

Is iPhone Duo’s premium foldable design and AI-packed software enough to justify its steep price, or is Apple mainly selling exclusivity and urgency?
