If you ordered Apple's new foldable phone and faced a long wait, check your tracking status today. Apple, the technology giant known for the iPhone and Mac, is quietly moving up delivery dates for the iPhone Duo by as much as a couple of weeks, according to Tom's Guide.
Launch day pre-orders sold out overwhelmingly fast, pushing some initial shipment dates all the way back to January 25 of next year. But buyers in the US and Japan are now reporting on social media that their expected arrival windows have suddenly jumped forward.
One US purchaser saw their delivery estimate shift from January 25 to a window between November 16 and November 23. Another shopper who expected a December delivery now shows the same November arrival window, while a buyer in Japan even reported their date moving up to the original October 23 launch day.
The changes appear as Apple allocates its existing stock to waiting customers. You do not need to wait for a notification email or text message to find out if your device is arriving sooner. Simply go to Apple's Order Listing page, log in with your Apple account, or enter your order number and email address to see your latest estimated arrival date.
