| Apple Store | City | Sightings, Nov 2–6 |
|---|---|---|

| City | Sightings, Nov 2–6 |
|---|---|
| New York, NY | 177 |
| Bronx, NY | 168 |
| Elmhurst, NY | 134 |

What time does Apple restock iPhone Duo?
Mornings, in the store's own time zone. Half of the week's sightings came between 8:50 and 10:10 AM local time. The single busiest hour was 9 to 10 AM with 38% of sightings, then 10 to 11 AM (17%) and 8 to 9 AM (12%).
So a shopper in Chicago and a shopper in New York should watch the same local window, not the same moment. Our restock forecast updates these hours every few minutes as new sightings come in.
How long does iPhone Duo stay in stock?
About a minute. The typical sighting lasted 1.3 minutes before our next check found it sold out. Most were "Available Today" for pickup: 94% of the week's sightings.
That is why refreshing apple.com rarely works. By the time you reload, the phone is usually gone. An alert that reaches you within seconds of a restock is the practical way to catch one; you can set a free iPhone Duo restock alert.
Which iPhone Duo configurations come back most?
The 256GB and 512GB models, in both colors. Together they made up 97% of sightings. 1TB and 2TB were rare, at about 1% each.
| Configuration | Share of sightings |
|---|---|
| 512GB Night Sky | 27% |
| 256GB Star White | 26% |
| 512GB Star White | 23% |
| 256GB Night Sky | 21% |
| 1TB Star White | 1% |
| 2TB Night Sky | 1% |
If you can take any color, you roughly double your chances at a given storage size. If you need 1TB or 2TB, plan on waiting longer, or compare online delivery dates, which Apple currently shows weeks out.
How we counted
A sighting is each time our checks of Apple's public pickup availability found an iPhone Duo in stock at a store where it wasn't before, including a store already in stock the first time we looked. Times are each store's local time. We check stores in alert areas about every 30 seconds and every other US store regularly, so stock that appears and disappears between two checks can't be seen. Tracking started in early November 2026, so this is one week of data, not a long-term pattern. The live numbers are on iPhone Duo restock analytics.
Frequently asked questions
Which Apple Store has the most iPhone Duo restocks?
In our first week of data, Apple The Mall at Bay Plaza in the Bronx had the most iPhone Duo sightings (168), followed by Apple Queens Center in Elmhurst, NY (134). Store rankings change week to week, so check the live analytics before you plan a trip.
What is the best time to check for iPhone Duo stock?
Between about 8:50 and 10:10 AM in your store's local time, when half of the week's sightings landed. The 9 to 10 AM hour alone held 38%. Restocks can still happen at other hours, so an alert covers the times you aren't watching.
How long do iPhone Duo restocks last?
Very briefly. The typical sighting lasted about 1.3 minutes before it sold out again. In practice, you need to reserve pickup within a minute or two of a restock, which is hard to do by refreshing apple.com yourself.
Is it easier to find a 256GB or a 1TB iPhone Duo?
256GB and 512GB are far easier. They made up 97% of sightings in our first week; 1TB and 2TB were about 1% each. Choosing "any color" at your storage size also helps.
