Updating your phone right out of the box is not pleasant
Fortunately, Apple has come up with an elegant solution
The special pad can wirelessly update an iPhone still in its original packaging
Most of us have probably experienced this – after unpacking a brand new smartphone from the box, we look forward to being able to use it to the fullest as soon as possible. But the phone, which has been waiting for us in stock for some time, first needs to be updated, which with today’s devices can be a matter of hours. The initial joy thus turns into frustration and waiting until the phone is finally updated and we can set it up and use it fully. However, this common practice does not please Apple, who came up with a solution to update the phone even in a packed box.
A special device will allow you to update the iPhone even in the box
This question is quite important for the giant from Cupertino, because it updates its devices quite often, with updates often available even several years after the official presentation of the device. Catching up with several years of software development right out of the box is not a very comfortable situation for users (or for Apple) – not only because of the lack of new functions and possible compatibility problems with some applications, but also with regard to security errors that current versions often fix. A user who definitely does not update his device immediately after purchase is thus exposing himself to an unnecessary risk.
Well-known journalist Mark Gurman from Bloomberg pointed out in his newsletter that iPhone updates are still in sealed boxes. According to him, Apple has a special pad-like device that will allow its employees to update the phone without having to unbox and activate it. Thanks to this, Apple can sell its customers always up-to-date devices, even if they buy them several months or years after the official introduction and launch. The whole process should be relatively simple – the employee just places an unopened box on a special pad, which wirelessly starts the system, updates it and then turns it off again.
Don’t overlook
Your iPhone has a secret code on its display. Thanks to it, Apple will save a fortune
Thanks to this system, for example, customers can buy the latest iPhone 15 Pro without having the chance to experience the recent case regarding its overheating. Apple fixed this problem with a software update. Currently, the special update pad is only available for iPhones, but in the future it could support all other Apple devices.
