Apple has cautioned that shoppers planning to buy its new iPhone Duo in person on launch day may struggle to find one. The device goes on sale Friday, October 23, but the company says walk-in availability will be limited and is likely to sell out quickly.
According to a statement cited by GSMArena, Apple pointed to strong demand since pre-orders opened the previous week, describing it as extraordinary. The company said only limited stock would be set aside for customers who arrive without a reservation.
Walk-in supply is expected to be available in several European markets, including Austria, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Türkiye and the UK. The same limited availability also applies outside Europe, in the US, Australia, Canada, Mexico and Singapore.
