A recent report from MacRumors suggests that walk-in purchases of the iPhone Duo may be difficult on the day of its launch, according to Apple employees. The company's website indicates that customers can check back on October 24th for availability, but this does not guarantee any stock will be available. Apple Store staff have been advised that there will likely be no iPhone Duo stock for walk-in purchases on launch day, and customers without pre-orders should be discouraged from expecting to buy the device.
This is not unexpected, given Apple's claims that demand for the iPhone Duo is "extraordinary" and the production constraints leading to limited supply around launch. Some stores may receive no additional shipments beyond what was pre-ordered. As of now, the iPhone Duo is sold out through January. If supply constraints persist, it will likely be challenging to purchase the device for the foreseeable future.
Scalpers have been charging exorbitant markups on iPhone Duo orders close to launch day. Those seeking an iPhone Duo sooner may turn to carriers and Best Buy in the US for better availability.
