What time does Apple restock the iPhone Duo in the US? 9–11 AM local time, most often

At what hour does the iPhone Duo come back in the US?

9–11 AM, store local time, holds 57% of the 3,608 restocks; 8 AM to noon holds 74%.

• The morning peak has nothing to do with opening time (most US Apple Stores open at 10 AM)
• Apple releases pickup stock online, ahead of the doors opening
• Watching by hand? Cover 9–11 AM on weekday mornings
• An alert covers the remaining 22 hours, when nobody else is looking

• Each store page charts its own hours in its own zone (every state's Apple Stores), so you can spot the store that restocks at 8 AM when its region peaks at 9

On which days did the iPhone Duo restock in the US?

All 10 tracked days brought at least one confirmed restock.

• Fri, Oct 23: launch day, first units shipped to online orders
• Sat, Oct 24: in-store pickup came back (MacRumors)
• Reported rows are launch-week observations from Apple Pickup Live and DuoReady, left out of every count
• A busiest weekday needs 14 days of data (we have 10)
• Watch the stores column: restocks spread over more stores give you better odds

Where in the US does the iPhone Duo restock most often?

New York: 673 restocks at 23 of its 23 stores since Oct 29, followed by California (576) and Florida (455); 45 of 45 states have seen a restock.

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 state: How fast does an iPhone Duo restock sell out?

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

A restock is a blip, not a state: 269 stores × 8 configurations makes 2,152 possible listings in the US, and right now 0 stores list any iPhone Duo at all.

• Past 24 hours: 335 confirmed restocks at 104 stores in the US
• 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

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 the US: 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 (Apple Pickup Live, DuoReady) 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
