It was reported at the end of March 2024 that Apple plans to introduce a system called 'Presto' in its retail Apple Stores that will allow unopened iPhones to be updated with software while still in their packaging. According to the report, Apple has been trialing Presto in some stores since the end of 2023.

According to new reports, Presto looks like a locker that can hold up to six iPhones at once, and has something like guardrails to keep the different sized iPhone cases in place. The photo below shows two Prestos stacked on top of each other, with the iPhone case being held in the hand.
According to iGeneration, it takes about 20 seconds to place the iPhone in the designated position on the Presto, and the iOS software update is completed within 15 to 30 minutes. Of course, there is no need to open the iPhone's box when updating the software. In addition, Presto uses a combination of MagSafe and wireless communication technology to wirelessly communicate with the iPhone inside the box.
Presto is managed by a Mac mini, and when a technician scans an iPhone's packaging, the iPhone inside is added to the waiting queue for the update. Presto is integrated with the inventory management system, notifying staff 'which iPhones need software updates' and selecting which models to prepare based on daily sales. Then, it prioritizes software updates for models that are selling well or have low inventory.
As iPhones are sold, Presto asks employees to replenish stock, and when stock is replenished, it checks whether new iPhones need software updates. If a new iOS software update is released, all iPhones in stock are added to the software update queue.
According to iGeneration, no special training is required to use Presto, and all employees can use it. When an iPhone software update is performed through Presto, the status light changes from white to green, so employees can tell at a glance which devices have been updated. In addition, the presentation box of the iPhone that has been updated will be moved from Presto to the inventory area.
