On the online Apple Store, 'pre-order preparations' are now available for the 'foldable iPhone,' the iPhone Duo. Actual pre-orders will begin at 9 PM JST on Friday, the 16th, with the release date set for Friday, the 23rd.

Regardless of whether they actually plan to purchase, many people are likely interested.
During 'pre-order preparations,' you can select the model you wish to purchase (color, capacity), as well as whether to use trade-in or AppleCare+. Furthermore, by completing credit card registration – which often causes delays during ordering – the actual pre-order process on the day will be smoother, significantly increasing your chances of getting it sooner.

You can also register the credit card you'll use for purchase.
Even with a high price starting from ¥364,800, the iPhone Duo is expected to be in even shorter supply than previous models. If you want to get it on launch day and win the pre-order battle at the Apple Store, 'pre-order preparations' are almost essential. Anyone planning to purchase should definitely complete them (especially be careful with your Apple ID; even if you know your ID/password, logging in can sometimes be difficult!).
