  1. Chasing the top store on the list, however far away
    Two or three stores you can reach within an hour of 9 AM
    A restock out of reach does you no good, and even the busiest store shows unavailable for all but a few minutes a day.
  2. Betting on a single store
    An alert on each, then go to whichever fires
    Use the count table only to decide which of your stores to head for first.

  • 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 province: How fast does an iPhone Duo restock sell out?
How the numbers are measured
Each figure runs from the check that first found the configuration listed to the check that found it gone, which makes it a ceiling: real lifetimes are shorter.

Why does apple.com show “currently unavailable” at every store?

A restock is a blip, not a state: 7 stores × 8 configurations makes 56 possible listings in South Korea, and right now 7 stores list any iPhone Duo at all.

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Much of the advice in r/applestore and r/iphone is honest, based on one store, and out of date by the next day; below are the four claims that come up most, tested against 493 confirmed restocks in South Korea.

Frequent Reddit claims about iPhone Duo restocks, tested against RestockWire's confirmed restocks
ClaimWhat the log shows
“Stores restock overnight — check at 3 AM.”0% of restocks came between midnight and 6 AM local time, against 54% between 9–11 AM.
“Apple only restocks on one weekday.”Restocks came on 6 of 6 tracked days, not one day without; 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.”125 confirmed restocks at 7 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 South Korea: 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 South Korea?

9–11 AM store local time carried 54% of the 493 confirmed restocks since November 2, 2026, and 8 AM to noon carried 61%. There is no official schedule; this is the pattern RestockWire observes, refreshed roughly every five minutes.

Do iPhone Duo restocks happen on weekends in South Korea?

They do: 122 restocks of 493 (25%) 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 9 AM local time; that two-hour window holds 54% of restocks. Then the clock runs fast: the median restock was gone within 90 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 479 sold-out restocks measured in South Korea, 61% were gone inside 2 minutes and 90% inside 20. At this moment 7 of 7 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).
