Apple Store Down Ahead of iPhone Duo Pre-Orders

• Apple's online store is down ahead of iPhone Duo pre-orders starting at 5:00 a.m. PT on October 16.
• Apple has been opening pre-orders at 5:00 a.m. Pacific Time for several years.
• Anticipated high demand and constrained supply may lead to quick sell-outs on launch day.
• The Apple Store displays a message: 'Almost ready for you. Pre-order begins at 5:00 a.m. PT. See you soon.'
• Previous years' pre-order openings at 5:00 a.m. PT have been consistent with this year's schedule.
