Apple wants to update your iPhone… even before you take it out of the box

Indeed, few things are more tedious than updating the phone once we take it out of the box. This is inseparable from the mobile sector since all devices require updates throughout their lifespan, especially in the beginning.

Indeed, Apple aims to put an end to this with its own technology, according to certain reports that came out this weekend. In the future, Apple could update its iPhones while they are still in their original packaging and in stores.

According to Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, Apple has developed a “proprietary device resembling a pad” for this purpose.

An Apple employee could place an iPhone on top of this device, which would turn it on, update its software, and turn it off again wirelessly. All of this without the need to open the package.

Apple plans to start rolling out this feature in its stores before the end of 2023

This system could simplify the often cumbersome process of setting up a new phone. By eliminating the need (often necessary) to update the iPhone right after unboxing and turning it on, one more step before using the new phone would be eliminated.

Gurman also shared other details about Apple’s upcoming devices. For instance, he explained that Apple is planning to launch a cheaper version of its Vision Pro headset, which would have an iPhone processor inside (instead of a Mac-grade chip) and would do away with the external display. It would also have fewer external cameras and sensors.

The report also mentions new Macs. Gurman states that the upcoming high-end MacBook Pro models, featuring 14 and 16-inch displays and Apple M3 Pro and M3 Max chips, are nearing mass production and could be released in the first quarter of 2023.

New MacBook Air models with 13 and 15-inch displays and Apple M3 chips are also expected to arrive, possibly between spring and summer next year. And this is, so far, all we know about Apple’s upcoming moves.
