If you read us regularly, you remember that we told you about this a few months ago technology that would allow Apple to update iOS on iPhones still in their original packaging at points of sale. However, even though the source who published it at the time said that it could go live before the end of the year (the information was published in October), we ended 2023 and started 2024 without any news.

Of course, this made us think that this technology is not that polished., and therefore might take longer than expected or might even be cancelled. Not for nothing, everything indicated that this system for updating the operating system of the iPhone while they are still in the package will rely on MagSafe for this purpose, along with its own wireless technologies to guarantee the safety of the transfer of the operating system.

The latter wouldn’t have been strange since then It goes somewhat beyond the originally intended use for MagSafeand in this sense, we recently learned about the problems that Apple encountered with AirPower prototypes, which ultimately led to the cancellation of the project. In that case, imagine the potential risks of using inductive charging with a device that is still in its packaging and potentially flammable. Apple should fully secure this technology before using it in its stores.

Well, as we can read in Wccft, in Cupertino they have already done their homework and subsequently An iOS update on iPhones while they’re still in the box will be available next monththough initially it will only do so in the United States, where the rollout will be complete in the time it takes to update iPhones at points of sale in early summer.

You might think this is a small detail, and it probably is, but Apple has emphasized on many occasions, for paying attention to small details to improve the user experience. And yes, it’s true that updating the iPhone’s operating system is a simple process that doesn’t take too much time, but it’s no less true that it’s probably the last thing any user who just bought their new phone would want to do. And these small details make the initial contact much more satisfying, convincing the user from the first moment of the good choice he has made.
