  "account": "Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, will be available for pre-order starting October 16. However, tech enthusiasts can start preparing for this moment four days early. According to Reddit users, Apple's pre-order page for the iPhone Duo now allows users to select phone finish, storage, trade-in options, financing, AppleCare coverage, and preferred carrier. The \"Continue\" button remains greyed out, but on October 12, users will be able to save this data, enabling a single-click pre-order on the official launch day. Pre-orders will officially begin at 5 a.m. Pacific Time (8 a.m. Eastern Time) on October 16, with shipping starting October 23. While there are rumors that the iPhone Duo may be scarce at launch, setting up the pre-order early could potentially secure a device sooner for some users.
