Generally. But the iPhone Duo is different. Notoriously difficult to manufacture and therefore in limited supply, pre-orders at launch now extend until the end of January 2027. That’s a three-month wait if you order now. You could buy better from your operator. Or try to get one of the modest retail restocks that will be arriving in the coming weeks. That’s where stock check sites come in.
iPhoneStockChecker shows you nearby stock in various colors and storage sizes. It also includes the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, which can still be a bit difficult to get in particular storage and color combinations.
Orion Bell It has two subsites. One checks the availability of restaurants in Japan (actually) and the other checks the stock of Apple products such as iPhones, Mac Studio or Mac mini.
Apple Inventory Check It also checks inventory for various Apple products, including Macs and Apple Watches and, of course, iPhones (including Duo). It’s limited to Apple stores, but it’s faster than using the interface on Apple’s site to check the availability of various configurations.
TrackaLacker is a general stock tracking site for online retailers. You can see the iPhone Duo there, but only in the online stores of places like Best Buy or Walmart, not the Apple Store online or in stores.
Most of these will also let you set a browser notification to alert you when a particular product or setting is detected, or even an email, but continually checking and notifying you is often a paid feature, or at least requires signing up for a free account on the site. (AI agents or tools like Apple’s new Notify Me feature in Safari could also let you keep an eye on things.)
