Apple will have limited stock of the iPhone Duo available for walk-in shoppers at retail stores starting October 23, 2026. The announcement from marketing senior vice president Greg Joswiak comes after preorder demand quickly pushed new online orders into January 2027. [1][2]
Joswiak confirmed that the company deliberately held back inventory from initial online shipments to ensure physical retail locations had stock on launch day. Apple previously noted that limited walk-in supplies will be available across select markets, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, and most stores in Italy.
