The innovative “Presto” system at Apple Stores is like something out of a sci-fi movie. Imagine sealed boxes of iPhones neatly organized in rows inside a locker-like machine, where each box is placed on a rail in just 20 seconds. What happens next is truly fascinating!
– Each iPhone undergoes a wireless activation process using MagSafe technology, taking between 15 to 30 minutes.
– The device is powered up, updated with the latest iOS version, and then shut off – all without ever needing to be unsealed manually.
– This seamless process is made possible by the “Presto” system, which is operated using a Mac mini and managed by Apple Store technicians.
Even if an Apple Store employee isn’t familiar with the machine, they play a crucial role in the wireless update process. When the status light turns green on the machine, indicating a successful update, staff members can remove the updated iPhone from the “Presto” system and add it to the store’s inventory ready for sale.
What’s truly remarkable about “Presto” is its ability to ensure that every iPhone model (in various colors and storage capacities) is always up-to-date and available for customers. When new inventory arrives or when a new iOS update is released, the machine prompts staff members on which devices need updating.
The convenience and efficiency of the “Presto” system not only streamline operations at Apple Stores but also guarantee that customers can purchase any iPhone model they desire, knowing it’s been freshly updated and ready to go. With this cutting-edge technology in place, Apple continues to redefine customer experience in the world of telecommunications.
