Apple will have “limited” stock of iPhone Duo on launch day
“Apple Stores will have limited iPhone Duo available for walk-in customers, and we’re working hard to get this revolutionary new product into customers’ hands as quickly as possible.”
But many countries will have no in-store stock at all
China, France, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates will only have iPhone Duo units available for customers who already bought them online.
Carriers may have shorter iPhone Duo waits
Bank of America Global Research says the iPhone Duo wait on U.S. carrier websites averages about 50 days, roughly half the 102 days Apple’s own store is quoting across all storage sizes and colors. China, Japan, the U.K., Germany, France and Australia all show 95 day waits.
