Buying a new smartphone takes just a few seconds. But the entire process of turning on a new cell phone may take several hours. This includes setup, transferring data, updating accounts, and updating the operating system. Apple wants to save new iPhone buyers the last one in the future. The technology company has reportedly developed a system through which smartphones can be updated while they are in the package, according to a report by Bloomberg.com.
This is how the box update works
The iPhone 15 is delivered with the latest iOS 17 operating system – but there have already been three further updates since sales began. 17.0.3 is the latest version. According to Apple, these updates are essential because they contain important bug fixes, security updates and are meant to ensure that the cell phone does not overheat anymore. According to Bloomberg.com, Apple now wants to have all available updates on the smartphone right from the start, so that buyers don’t have to pay extra attention after purchasing it.
iPhones and other Apple devices can therefore be updated directly in the Apple Store before they are sold. This should be made possible by a special device that can update multiple iPhones at once. “The system can wirelessly turn on iPhones, update software, and safely turn them off again — all while the phones are still in the box,” Apple specialist Mark Gurman said in a blog post on Bloomberg.com.
Apple is expected to launch this system in Apple Stores by the end of the year. It has not yet been confirmed whether Swiss stores will also offer box updates for iPhones. However, the letter does not mention any regional restrictions.
Cheap apple glasses
Gorman shared other rumors about Apple products. The controversial Apple Vision Pro glasses are set to come in a cheaper version. The e-glasses were announced in June for $3,500. The cheaper version has an iPhone processor instead of a Mac chip and doesn’t have an external display, external cameras, or sensors. But it won’t be much cheaper: a mini version of the headset will cost between $1,500 and $2,000.
