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.
