Apple Restarts iPhone Duo Store Pickup in 4 Countries as Demand Pushes Delivery Into Late January

Summary
Apple has begun restoring iPhone Duo Apple Store pickup reservations in Australia, China, Japan and South Korea, though spot checks found few or no slots across configurations.
One Australian pickup slot briefly appeared for Saturday before vanishing, underscoring how quickly inventory is being claimed after Apple called demand "nothing short of extraordinary."
The U.S., Canada, the U.K. and Singapore still tell customers to check back on October 24, suggesting the pickup system is reopening market by market as Saturday arrives in each time zone.
Pickup had disappeared within minutes of last Friday's preorder launch, and with shipping estimates already slipping to late January, long queues have formed at stores as some buyers try walk-in purchases.
