Apple is a technology company that usually pays attention to details, something that makes a big difference to many users. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or an absolute detractor, or better yet, somewhere in between, appreciating the positives and negatives in their fair measure, it’s something that’s hard to argue with. In this way (although of course not only) they managed to create a very careful and consolidated brand image, which is an integral part of their success.

I’m sure you’ve been in this situation more than once: you’ve just bought any device (smartphone, PC with an operating system, console, etc.) and you come home wanting to unpack it and get it up and running to get started. So after doing the necessary steps, you turn it on for the first time, follow the steps given to start it up and configure it, and when everything seems ready… it turns out you need to update it.

It’s true that if we’re talking about an Apple device like the iPhone, the update shouldn’t necessarily be instant, but it’s no less true that right out of the box You will definitely come across the initial version of its corresponding operating system iterationIf we are talking about iPhone 15, for example, you will most likely encounter iOS 17.0, and in these first versions there is already a traditional problem that is solved by the first updates. So of course you will need to update it eventually. First world problems, some call them (and not without reason), but they are still a nuisance.

However, it seems that may no longer be the case. As we can read in Apple Insider, Apple is preparing a device that will allow you to update iOS versions of iPhones that are still in their original packaging and have not been opened. This will allow store staff to update devices, either in bulk when a new update is released, or less likely for as long as it takes, each time a unit is sold.

For this purpose, a “pad-type” device was designed according to the publication, on which the device is still placed in its original packaging, and This device is able to turn on the iPhone, perform the update, and turn it off again after the update is completea process that appears to be quite simple for those who have to do it, and which will allow buyers to go home with a fully updated device.

According to the above sources, the use of this update system is supposed to be so refined that AApple could start using it before the end of this year and although it initially applies only to iPhones, the possibility of later expansion to other devices is not ruled out.
