Oct. 23 launch in Orchard

The iPhone Duo's launch in Singapore followed the release of the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max on Sep. 18, 2026.

On Oct. 23, 36-year-old Adnan Mehta from Mumbai, India, was the first walk-in customer in the queue.

He arrived in Singapore on Oct. 22 and queued for over 10 hours.

Mothership arrived at the Apple Store in Orchard at about 4:30am, where crowds and long queues had already formed before the store opened its doors at about 8am.

About 200 people were seen gathered outside the Apple Store.

Those in the queue were issued a wristband a day before on Oct. 22, which allowed them to get in line to purchase the phones as walk-in customers.

Repeat customer Vu Tran, a 30-year-old Vietnamese, previously queued for the release of the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in Singapore in September 2026.

He bought two sets of the iPhone Duo for himself and his family.

This is his 15th year visiting Singapore to buy newly launched Apple products, he said.

"It's so exciting because the new colour is very nice," Tran said, commenting on the iPhone Duo's aesthetic.

"It's just so beautiful," he added.
