Apple launches Get Ready service for iPhone Duo pre-orders
Apple's Get Ready feature lets customers configure iPhone Duo specifications and payment details before pre-orders begin on October 16, aiming to streamline the ordering process for the device launching on October 23.
Apple has activated its Get Ready service for the upcoming iPhone Duo, enabling shoppers to pre-select color, storage capacity, carrier, accessories, AppleCare+ coverage, trade-in options, payment method, and shipping and billing addresses. The feature is available through the company’s online store and Apple Store app.
Pre-orders for the iPhone Duo start at 5 a.m. Pacific Time (8 a.m. Eastern) on October 16, with the phone slated to ship on October 23. By completing the Get Ready setup in advance, customers can place a one-tap order as soon as pre-orders open, which Apple says can improve the likelihood of securing a unit amid limited supply expectations.
Apple advises interested buyers to finish the Get Ready process on its website or app before the pre-order window opens.
