PSA: iPhone Duo Preorders open Friday — here’s a useful trick you can use to get ahead of everybody

Got your eye on the new iPhone Duo? Preorders for Apple's first-ever foldable flagship are set to go live this Friday and it's looking like it's going to be a popular launch.

So much so, in my opinion, that it could potentially sell out.

If you are interested, however, note that there's a little trick you can use to get ahead of the crowds to make preordering easier.

Apple is opening its 'Get Ready' feature today, which allows potential customers to input details ahead of preordering.

That includes shipping details, storage capacity, color, and carrier preferences.

That's everything that could slow you down if you were to input them once preorders go live, essentially.

You can use the Get Ready feature on both the Apple Store page for the iPhone Duo and the Apple Store‌ app, so it's definitely worth doing if you're looking for a preorder.

With this feature, all you have to do is turn up on time and click order, which could be handy if the device is flying off the shelves.

It's quite tough to predict whether the iPhone Duo will sell out or not, but I would err on the side of caution here if you're interested.

Excitement is high since it's Apple's first foldable device and these types of devices tend to be manufactured in smaller batches.

For example, the Galaxy TriFold sold out earlier this year.

What are the opening Apple iPhone Duo deals? (Image credit: Apple) Apple has already listed a few of the various preorder deals that will be going live this Friday, so you can also check those out to see if they fit the bill.

First up, there's Apple's trade-in rebate of up to $885 for unlocked devices.

That matches the maximum rebate we saw on the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, so it's a pretty good deal — albeit one that we were expecting.
