Bloomberg reporter Mark Garman, who is well-known for Apple-related leaks, reported that Apple is planning to introduce a system called ``Presto.'' Presto will be rolled out at Apple Stores in the United States in April 2024, and will be available at all Apple Stores in the United States by early summer. Presto seems to have been tested at some Apple Stores since the end of 2023.

It was first reported in October 2023 that Apple was developing a system to update software on unopened iPhones. After that, 9to5Mac, which handles Apple-related information, discovered the existence of multiple frameworks related to Presto by analyzing the source code of iOS 17.2 beta.

Presto can remotely turn on an iPhone in an unopened gift box, perform a software update, and then turn it off. This means that people who purchase a new iPhone at the Apple Store no longer need to update their iPhone's software after taking it out of the box.

In addition, Apple is reportedly planning to make the next major update, iOS 18, scheduled for release in 2024, the biggest update in the company's history. The main appeal of iOS 18 seems to be functions using artificial intelligence (AI).

Not only this, Apple is also reported to be introducing a new, more customizable home screen in iOS 18. In iOS, app icons on the home screen are fixed on an invisible grid on the home screen to ensure a certain level of uniformity. In iOS 18, app icons can be placed more freely, and it will be possible to create a space between app icons.

In addition, Apple added a lock screen customization function from iOS 16 released in 2022, and 9to5Mac predicts that the home screen customization function added in iOS 18 will be similar. .
