Apple is giving prospective iPhone Duo buyers a four-day head start on their order details. The “Get Ready” flow is scheduled to open on Monday, October 12, ahead of pre-orders on Friday, October 16 at 7:00 p.m. Thailand time (ICT).

MacRumors spotted the new date on Apple’s iPhone Duo product page. Buyers can prepare a configuration and save checkout details, then return when pre-orders open to submit the order. Setting up early does not reserve a unit or guarantee launch-day delivery.

What to have ready

  • Choose a finish and storage capacity
  • Confirm carrier details, where required
  • Select accessories and an AppleCare+ plan
  • Decide whether to include an eligible trade-in
  • Review payment, billing and shipping information

Apple’s store may present different options by country and purchase channel. Check the local Apple Store page before relying on a specific plan or trade-in value.

The ordering timeline

Get Ready begins October 12. Apple Thailand lists pre-orders for October 16 at 7:00 p.m. Thailand time, with availability beginning October 23.

Thailand pricing by storage

Apple Thailand lists the following prices for both Star White and Night Sky:

  • 256GB: ฿79,900
  • 512GB: ฿87,900
  • 1TB: ฿103,900
  • 2TB: ฿127,900

Pricing and the local pre-order time are from the Apple Store Thailand.

The advance setup can reduce the number of decisions to make during a busy launch morning. It is still necessary to return and place the actual order once pre-orders are live. Reports of constrained early supply make preparation useful, but no advance setup can guarantee inventory or a delivery date.

If you are trading in your current iPhone

Check its condition and back up your data before requesting an estimate. Keep the old device until the new phone is set up and you have confirmed that your photos, messages and other important information transferred correctly.
