Apple to Enable In-Box Mac Updates with New Tech

Apple is developing a system similar to its iPhone Presto wireless update mechanism for Macs, which would allow sealed Mac devices to be updated wirelessly before reaching customers, streamlining launch processes and potentially improving user experience. The new system, hinted at in macOS Tahoe 26 beta 3, could enable Apple to ship hardware already running the latest software, but questions remain about how the update process would be triggered, especially given Macs' lack of NFC hardware. The initiative is still in early stages, but it signals Apple's move toward more seamless, pre-updated devices.

Unveiling the Sophistication of Apple's Presto System

Apple's Presto system, currently being tested in Apple Stores, can update iPhones without opening the boxes, and it's more sophisticated than initially thought. The system, resembling a "toaster," can handle up to six iPhones at once and is part of a complete inventory management system. It uses a Mac mini to manage the queue of devices waiting to be updated, ensuring that there is always an up-to-date model in stock for customers. Staff are alerted to update phones based on sales and new arrivals, and the system automatically flags stock for updates when new iOS updates are released.

Apple is reportedly launching a new device called "Presto" that looks like a toaster oven and can wirelessly update unopened iPhones with the newest Apple software.

It is expected to be rolled out in Apple's U.S. retail stores by April and uses MagSafe and other wireless technologies to turn on the iPhones. While innovative, some may view this as addressing a first-world problem.

"Apple Unveils Presto: A Game-Changing In-Box iPhone Updating System"

Apple is set to introduce a new "Presto within Apple" system in its retail stores, allowing employees to update iPhone software while the device is still in its box. The system, which resembles a small two-spoke locker, can handle up to six iPhones at once and uses a combination of MagSafe and other wireless technologies to install iOS updates within 15 to 30 minutes. This will ensure that iPhones sold at Apple Stores come with the latest iOS version, addressing the issue of devices shipping with outdated software.
