The wait for the highly anticipated iPhone Duo is almost over for early buyers. If you secured a launch day delivery window for October 23, you might want to open your Apple Store app right now. Some customers are already seeing their order status shift from preparing to ship to fully shipped. This is a very welcome update for anyone eager to get their hands on the new foldable device as soon as it drops.
Early buyers see shipping confirmations in the Apple Store app
Tech creator Stephen Robles posted on X that his order is officially marked as shipped. You can easily verify your own order status by launching the Apple Store app and navigating to the For You tab. Your latest order information will sit right at the top of the screen.
If you have an October 23 delivery date but still do not see a shipping confirmation, do not worry too much. These devices often hit the road well before the system updates to reflect their movement. The company usually takes a bit of time to sync its tracking data with actual courier progress.

Delivery dates remain firm despite massive initial buyer demand
It is clear that the new foldable has caught the attention of many smartphone fans. Some folks are checking their order screens multiple times a day hoping for a bumped up delivery window. While those with later estimates might not see any changes just yet, the first wave of pre-orders is fully on track to arrive in stores and at doorsteps by Friday.
It makes sense that tracking updates are rolling out in batches. The tech giant had to boost its initial production capacity to handle the massive rush of early sales. Now, the main focus is simply waiting for the delivery truck to arrive. Keep an eye on your local courier tracking as the launch officially kicks off tomorrow.
