How to get an iPhone Duo
Updated November 11. The iPhone Duo sells out fast at Apple Stores, but it keeps coming back for pickup: 60% of the 6153 iPhone Duo restocks we’ve seen at US Apple Stores since October 24 came between 9 AM and 11 AM local time, and half of those we measured sold out within 105 seconds. The surest way to get one is to watch the stores near you and reserve the moment it shows up.
Six steps that work
1. Check in-store pickup, not shipping
Apple’s online store shows pickup availability store by store: pick a model on Apple’s iPhone Duo page, then check availability with your ZIP code. Shipping dates can be weeks out while a store nearby has one ready today.
2. Be flexible on color and storage
Every color and size comes back, but not equally often: 512GB Night Sky has restocked most (1447 restocks). If any iPhone Duo will do, take the first one that shows up.
3. Watch every store you can reach
Each Apple Store gets its own stock. Watching three or four stores instead of one makes a restock near you several times more likely to catch.
4. Know when restocks come
Apple doesn’t announce restocks, but they cluster: 60% of the 6153 iPhone Duo restocks we’ve seen at US Apple Stores since October 24 came between 9 AM and 11 AM local time, and half of those we measured sold out within 105 seconds.
5. Move the moment it shows up
Half of the restocks we measured sold out within 105 seconds, so reserve as soon as you see your store show it. You pay on Apple’s site and pick it up at the store.
6. Let an alert do the watching
Checking our live stock pages is free. Store Stock Checker’s alerts watch the stores you pick and send a push notification and an email about 2 seconds after we spot your iPhone, from $5 a month.

Watch Apple Store pickup near you instead of shipping, be flexible on color and storage, and reserve the moment a store shows it. Restocks are short, so an alert that watches your stores for you is the surest way.

Yes: Apple’s own site shows pickup availability for free, and so do our live stock pages for every Apple Store. Alerts that watch for you are paid, from $5 a month.
Does Store Stock Checker sell iPhones?
No. We only tell you when one is available for pickup; you reserve and pay on Apple’s site. Store Stock Checker isn’t affiliated with Apple Inc.
In stock means Apple’s online store showed it available for in-store pickup at that store when we last checked. Checking means we don’t have a fresh result for that store yet; it doesn’t mean sold out. Stock moves fast, so reserve on Apple’s site as soon as you see it.
