Apple Starts Moving Up iPhone Duo Delivery Dates
Key Points:
- Apple has started moving up estimated delivery dates for some iPhone Duo pre-orders in the U.S. and Japan, with customers seeing earlier arrival times than initially expected.
- In the U.S., some customers who initially had December delivery estimates are now seeing shipments scheduled for late November, including notable cases like YouTuber Matt Gonzalez.
- In Japan, at least one customer reported their delivery date advancing from early December to just one day after the October 23 launch.
- The iPhone Duo pre-orders began last Friday, with initial shipping estimates quickly pushed back to late January due to high demand, which Apple described as "nothing short of extraordinary."
- Apple has a history of underpromising delivery times and then shipping products earlier, so these improved estimates align with past trends ahead of the iPhone Duo launch on October 23.
