Get Ready lets users select a preferred color and capacity, confirm their carrier status, choose accessories, choose an AppleCare+ plan, select a trade-in, add a payment method, and set a shipping and billing address.

When pre-orders go live, Get Ready is helpful because it allows for one-tap ordering. It will be especially beneficial for the ‌iPhone Duo‌ because supplies are expected to be limited.

Pre-orders could sell out within minutes given reports of production issues leading to supply constraints, and users who have Get Ready will be able to submit orders faster.

‌iPhone Duo‌ pre-orders will begin on Friday, October 16 at 5 a.m. Pacific Time or 8 a.m. Eastern Time. The device will launch on Friday, October 23. Pricing starts at $1,999.

While I'm not joining the fun this year, I'm excited for those that are. Pre-order energy is the best.
That said, I'm more excited that we [finally] have a new form factor in the mix. [Not necessarily a foldable but] it feels a long time coming.

I look forward to the reviews — seeing how users incorporate Duo into their day-to-day, what they wish it did or didn't do, etc. Interested to see the platform evolve, mature.

While I will not be getting an iPhone Duo, I hope whatever sales it generates can prove to Apple that Touch ID is still a desired feature on iPhones. I’d like to see Touch ID on all iPhones, even if it means iPhones having both Touch ID and Face ID on the same device, so users can have a choice between which one to use instead of having Face ID be the only biometric option.
