Apple Moves Up Some iPhone Duo Delivery Dates

Apple has moved some delivery dates for the iPhone Duo, which became available for preorder on October 16, to earlier dates. The smartphone sold out quickly, and the order backlog extended through the end of January 2027. Some buyers’ accounts now show dates sooner than those previously displayed. The change does not yet apply to all orders.

The first changes primarily appeared in orders placed by buyers in Japan. Over the weekend, several users shared information showing that their delivery dates had been moved up. In one example, although the smartphone was listed for delivery in December, the new delivery date was shown as October 23. So far, earlier dates are appearing only for orders placed directly through the Apple Store.

Similar changes have now also been recorded for several orders in the US. This means the earlier dates are not limited to Japan. However, it is unknown whether this will also spread to other countries. The number of buyers affected by the change has not been disclosed either. Apple has not commented on the matter.

It has not yet been confirmed whether the displayed dates reflect the actual delivery schedule or are a temporary system error. The order dates could therefore be moved back to their previous times. If the information remains unchanged, some iPhone Duo buyers will receive their smartphones significantly earlier than expected. For other orders, the wait may continue until the end of January.
