When you take a brand-new iPhone out of the box, you can feel the joy. But there’s a problem that everyone faces: the setup process, which usually includes getting software changes and running them. Apple has a solution: Presto, a system that updates iPhones while they’re still in their boxes. Apple is always on the cutting edge of new ideas. Let’s learn more about this amazing technology and how it helps both shoppers and Apple Store workers.
1. The Presto Machine Is Shown Off
What does Presto mean? Imagine a sleek metal rack with slots that can each hold an iPhone. Some people have made fun of calling it a “toaster” because it can fit up to six gadgets at once. It’s like a phone pizza maker!
How It Does It: Employees at the Apple Store put an iPhone in a box on the rail inside the Presto machine. The iOS update is put on in just 15 to 30 minutes, and the iPhone stays sealed in its box the whole time.
Wireless Magic: MagSafe and other wireless technologies are used together by Presto. It turns on the phone, installs the update, and then turns it off. Near Field contact (NFC) also plays a part in making sure contact goes smoothly.1.
2. The Customer’s Delight Instant Gratification: If you buy an iPhone from an Apple Store after Presto goes live, it will already have the latest version of iOS on it. No more having to wait for long downloads!
It makes life better because in the past, iPhones came from the factory with whichever version of iOS was available at the time. This meant that millions of iPhones came out with software that was out of date. Presto now makes sure that your brand-new iPhone is ready to use as soon as you open the box.
3. The employee’s relief saves time: Apple Store workers no longer have to waste valuable minutes helping customers with software changes. Presto handles it without any problems.
Connected Servers: Some Presto machines are linked to servers that get software changes 24 hours before they go live to everyone else. This keeps iPhones up to date all the time.
4. The Future of Unboxing: Presto is being used in countries other than the US, and the goal is to have it widely used by April. That means your iPhone will work better no matter where you are (New York or Tokyo).
What Apple Promises: The Presto system shows that Apple is committed to making the user experience better. It’s a small but important step toward making technology easier to use and more available.
Presto is the star of the show when you open the box. It works behind the scenes to make sure that your iPhone journey starts with joy instead of frustration. So the next time you take out that brand-new gadget, remember that Presto made magic happen inside the box.
