Apple will launch "Presto" system, retail stores can wirelessly update the system for unopened iPhones

According to news on March 25, Apple is about to launch a new service called "Presto within Apple" in U.S. retail stores. This service will allow Apple retail store employees to use tablet-like devices to directly install wireless software for unopened iPhones. renew.

According to Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman in his Power On newsletter, the new system will be piloted in some Apple retail stores in the United States in April, and plans to cover all U.S. stores by the eve of summer. The Presto system has already been tested in some stores as early as the end of 2023. Noted that Gurman first reported this system as early as October last year, and then the 9to5Mac website also discovered code related to this feature in the iOS 17.2 system. At the heart of the Presto system is a tablet-like device on which a retail store employee can place the box containing the iPhone. The system wirelessly powers up an iPhone, updates its software, and then shuts it down, all while the phone remains in the box. Gurman wrote in today's Power On newsletter: "The system looks a bit like a metal shoe cabinet. It can use MagSafe magnets and other wireless technologies to power iPhones and complete software updates without opening the package. When updating Once completed, the system will automatically power off the phone." This means that users who purchase a new iPhone from an Apple retail store may not need to perform additional software updates after the phone is turned on. Instead, Apple retail stores are able to update devices in advance when new iOS versions are released. Currently, iPhones are shipped from the factory with the iOS version available at the time. This means that the iPhone received by many users may not be the latest version of the system and needs to be upgraded by themselves.
