A few days ago we learned that Presto, a system designed by Apple to update iPhones still in their original packaging, is now close to making its debut at retail locations. According to the source of the mentioned reports, Apple may start deploying these devices within the next month, although initially, as indicated in the information, they will only arrive in the United States, where they will likely undergo a more extensive test. and in real conditions before jumping into the rest of the world.

We’ve known for months that Apple was working on this device, although we haven’t received any additional information about it since the initial leak in the news this week, leading us to believe that its debut will be in production at a later date. aims to do now. However, once the Presto starts reaching the first points of sale, we understand that this will still be necessary do some tests and also, establish work methodologies that the workers of said shops must follow to employ her.

The reason for this solution is more than obvious: that the buyer leaves the Apple Store with their new iPhone updated to the latest version of iOS, and not the one that was available when it was built. And it’s not that the update once we get home (or the office) is a particularly traumatic process, but it disrupts the initial contact, which is the moment it should have from the point of view of the manufacturer as well as the users. be much more positive.

Now, just two days after confirming its status, iGeneration has been published (in French and behind a paywall). image and data on how Presto works, which tells us a lot about what to expect. As we can see, we are facing a stackable device in two heights (in the picture you can see two, one on top of the other), with two heights and three gaps for each of them, so in theory it should be possible to update the operating system of up to six iPhones at the same time.

On the other hand, the French media also found that after introducing the iPhone into one of the designated spaces, a process that takes about 10 seconds, the update will begin, which may take 15 to 30 minuteswe understand that depending on the size of the update, although it’s possible that the number of devices currently updating Presto at the same time has an effect as well.

This, of course, makes us think The update will not be performed upon purchase, but the Apple Store team will directly update a certain number of devices depending on the sales forecast. And this is the only system that would allow a new buyer to avoid such a long wait and at the same time not expose the device to more “preventive” updates. If this is finally a working system used, it will undoubtedly be a great success.
