Apple Developing In-Store Wireless Software Update System for New iPhones
-
Apple is developing a proprietary pad-like device to wirelessly update iPhones while still sealed in the box.
-
The pad will allow Apple retail stores to update iPhones to the latest software before sale.
-
Currently, new iPhones ship with older iOS versions that are outdated by the time they reach customers.
-
The new system aims to improve the setup experience and avoid day-one software updates.
-
Apple plans to roll out the pad system to its stores before the end of 2022.
