Apple is set to launch the iPhone Duo on Friday, October 23, but customers in certain countries will only be able to purchase the device in limited quantities at Apple Stores on a walk-in basis. According to Apple, walk-in availability will be restricted in the U.S., Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Mexico, Germany, the Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Türkiye, the U.K., and Macao, where it will only be available for walk-in customers on launch day.
In contrast, walk-in purchases will not be permitted in countries such as France, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and the United Arab Emirates, where customers must place a reservation for Apple Store pickup via Apple's online store. Apple's spokesperson stated that the limited walk-in availability is due to managing crowd sizes and preventing scalping.
