Story summary

Apple fans eager to purchase the new iPhone Duo in London have several options starting from its official release on October 23, 2026. While customers can pre-order online, those preferring an in-person shopping experience should visit one of six Apple Stores in London: Apple Regent Street, Apple Covent Garden, Apple White City, Apple Brompton Road, Apple Stratford City, or Apple Battersea. However, Apple has not confirmed which specific stores will have the phone available on launch day, so it's recommended to check stock availability and collection options before heading out. Pre-ordering might be a better bet for securing one of these highly anticipated devices immediately upon release.
