How many seconds does an iPhone Duo restock last in Australia?
574 seconds: the median life of the 1,174 sold-out restocks in Australia; 11% were gone inside 2 minutes and 68% inside 20.
- Two minutes is a window for an alert, not for hitting refresh on apple.com
- Every other number on this page follows from this one
- Each restock and how many seconds it lasted, per configuration and state: How fast does an iPhone Duo restock sell out?
How the numbers are measured
Why does apple.com show “currently unavailable” at every store?
A restock is a blip, not a state: 21 stores × 8 configurations makes 168 possible listings in Australia, and right now 0 stores list any iPhone Duo at all.
- Past 24 hours: 146 confirmed restocks at 19 stores in Australia
- Each was on apple.com for a minute or two
- Seeing “unavailable everywhere” on day four or day fourteen does not mean Apple has stopped
Reddit's iPhone Duo restock theories, checked against the log
Much of the advice in r/applestore and r/iphone is honest, based on one store, and out of date by the next day; below are the four claims that come up most, tested against 1,174 confirmed restocks in Australia.
| Claim | What the log shows |
|---|---|
| “Stores restock overnight — check at 3 AM.” | 1% of restocks came between midnight and 6 AM local time, against 24% between 11 AM–1 PM. |
| “Apple only restocks on one weekday.” | Restocks came on 5 of 6 tracked days; we name a busiest weekday after 14 days of data. |
| “Call the store and ask when the truck comes.” | There is no published restock schedule; pickup stock is released online, and the store sees it at the same moment everyone else does. |
| “If it says unavailable, it's sold out for good.” | 146 confirmed restocks at 19 stores in the last 24 hours prove otherwise, and each went back to “unavailable” within minutes. |
- Rumours fill the gap when there is no data; this page is the data, and reading it is free
- Reddit gets one thing right: the checkout prep, signed in with Apple Pay set (our 20-second version)
What counts as a restock on RestockWire?
A restock is a configuration appearing for in-store pickup on apple.com at a store that did not list it, confirmed by two matching checks.
- Stores with an alert: every 5 seconds; every Apple Store in Australia: every 15 seconds
- Published intervals of other trackers: 8 seconds to 15 minutes; we compare only what they publish
- A first “available” is re-checked about a second later before it counts
- A vanished listing is confirmed on the following round
- A store's first sighting, a failed request, a timeout: never a restock and never “out of stock”
- All hours and dates are in each store's local time; a “wave” is the same half hour across zones
- Reports from other trackers get labelled rows of their own and are left out of every total
- These tables refresh roughly every five minutes; the restock log is live

Common questions
Which hours bring iPhone Duo restocks in Australia?
11 AM–1 PM store local time carried 24% of the 1,174 confirmed restocks since November 2, 2026, and 8 AM to noon carried 39%. There is no official schedule; this is the pattern RestockWire observes, refreshed roughly every five minutes.
Do iPhone Duo restocks happen on weekends in Australia?
They do: 134 restocks of 1,174 (11%) fell on a Saturday or Sunday. We name a busiest weekday only once the data covers 14 days; it covers 6 so far.
When should I start watching apple.com?
By hand, have apple.com open with pickup selected from 11 AM local time; that two-hour window holds 24% of restocks. Then the clock runs fast: the median restock was gone within 574 seconds, which is why an alert on the 5-second wire (how alerts work) beats any amount of refreshing.
Why is the iPhone Duo “unavailable” at every Apple Store?
Restocks are brief: of the 1,174 sold-out restocks measured in Australia, 11% were gone inside 2 minutes and 68% inside 20. At this moment 0 of 21 stores list one, so most of the time apple.com truthfully says “unavailable”, even on days with dozens of restocks (what “unavailable” means).
Can I get a notification when my Apple Store gets the iPhone Duo back?
Yes: an alert on that store with your exact storage and colour moves it to the 5-second wire; once a restock is confirmed, your phone has it within about 3 seconds (set up an alert; how it works).
