- The US-wide ranking usually agrees: most-restocked iPhone Duo configurations
How fast does an iPhone Duo restock sell out in California?
60 s is the median across 572 timed restocks in California, quicker than the US figure of 74 s; 85% were gone inside 2 minutes and 100% inside 20.
- Measured from the check that saw the listing to the check that saw it gone: an upper bound, never rounded down

How the numbers are measured
Does any California Apple Store list the iPhone Duo now?
0 of 53 California Apple Stores list an iPhone Duo for pickup at this moment; the last 24 hours brought 42 restocks at 17 stores, most recently 256GB Star White at Apple Irvine Spectrum Center, Nov 6, 8:27 PM.
- Store by store, configuration by configuration, with the last check time: California Apple Stores
- Newest first, every confirmed restock in California: restock log
How do you get the next California restock in time?
Let the wire watch and have checkout staged before 9 AM: a typical California restock is over in about 60 seconds, shorter than one reload and scroll.
5-second checks on your stores, from $5 a month. The push lands about 3 s after a restock is confirmed. One alert is one store × one exact configuration: Plus holds 10, Pro 20, Max 50.

- 2Add the Home Screen apprequired for iPhone alerts
- 3Stage apple.com checkoutstop one step short
- 4Act on the pushfour taps, about 20 seconds
What counts as a restock on this page?
Two checks in a row seeing apple.com switch one configuration from “currently unavailable” to available for pickup at one of the 53 stores in California. One check alone never counts.
- Cadence: 15 seconds for every Apple Store in California, 5 for stores with an alert
- Confirmation: a first “available” is re-asked about a second later
- Sell-out: confirmed on the next round of checks
- Never counted: a store's first sighting, a failed request, a timeout. None of them is a restock or a sell-out
- Clock: each store's local time, Pacific time across California
- Source: RestockWire's own checks only; other trackers' launch-week reports appear separately on the national page
- This page refreshes roughly every five minutes; the restock log is live

California iPhone Duo restocks: questions
What time should I watch for an iPhone Duo restock in California?
Mostly between 9–11 AM Pacific time: that window holds 68% of the 576 iPhone Duo restocks RestockWire confirmed at the 53 Apple Stores in California since October 29, 2026, with the median one gone in about 60 seconds. The single busiest hour is 9–10 AM (228 restocks) and 84% landed between 8 AM and noon; Apple publishes no schedule, so this is RestockWire's own count over the 53 stores, refreshed roughly every five minutes.
Is the iPhone Duo more likely to come back on a weekend in California?
It happens: 171 restocks of 576 fell on a Saturday or Sunday (30%). A busiest weekday is named only once the data spans 14 days; it spans 10.
Which store in California should I put an alert on first?
Apple The Grove has the most: 41 confirmed restocks on 8 days since October 29, 2026, usually near 9 AM local time, the last Nov 6, 4:19 PM. Each store restocks on its own, so add the others you can reach.
How many seconds do I have once a California restock lands?
About 60 s: that is the median of 572 timed restocks in California, with 85% gone inside 2 minutes and 100% inside 20 (US median 74 s). Each figure runs from the check that saw the listing to the check that saw it gone, so it is an upper bound.
What does an alert for California cost, and how fast is it?
From $5 a month: the stores you pick go on the 5-second wire and a push lands about 3 s after a restock is confirmed. One alert is one store × one exact configuration, so pick California stores in the storage and color you would buy, then read how alerts work and the 20-second checkout.
