Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that U.S. Apple retail stores will have a system to customize an iPhone Duo so the buyer’s name appears when the phone turns on for the first time. His example was “Hello, Mark.”
Gurman described the feature as limited to the iPhone Duo and U.S. stores, with greetings available in English and Spanish. His post did not explain how stores will program the message, which purchases will qualify or whether Apple plans to expand the option later. Apple’s September product announcement does not mention the personalized startup screen.
Apple says the foldable phone starts at $1,999 in the U.S. Preorders begin Friday, October 16, with availability beginning Friday, October 23.
