It sounds a bit magical, but Mark Gurman said Apple plans to deploy this solution in Apple Stores, allowing brand-new iPhones that have not yet been opened to perform software upgrades wirelessly. Once the iPhone is upgraded, it will immediately shut down. The entire process will not open the iPhone box, so it will not affect the rights of buyers.
The specific method is not clearly stated, but it may be wireless charging through near-field induction, and waking the iPhone during charging to perform the system update. It seems that Apple may deploy this solution in Apple Stores as early as the end of this year, so that new iPhones that have not yet been sold and unopened can obtain the latest software updates.
The reason for doing this may be that there are many problems with the recent software design. Apple hopes that when the product is actually delivered to consumers in the future, it can provide the latest updated software version for use, rather than requiring consumers to download the update themselves after purchasing.
However, it is not yet clear whether this solution will only be available in Apple Stores, or will also be available to cooperative sales channels and telecom operators.
