Apple Stores to Introduce ‘Presto’ for In-Box iPhone Updates

Apple is set to introduce a new system called ‘Presto’ in its retail stores. This system will allow Apple Store employees to wirelessly update iPhone software while the phone is still in its box, using a pad-like device. The system is expected to be rolled out widely to Apple Stores in the United States in April and reach all US stores by early summer. The technology centers around a pad-like device that the store can place boxes of iPhones on top of. The system is able to power on the iPhones, update their software, and then power them back down, all while the phones stay in their boxes. This change will mean that people who buy new iPhones from Apple Stores likely won’t have to immediately update their device after taking it out of the box.
