Apple still in their boxes with the latest Apple software. What's surprising is that this innovative system is rumored to look like a toaster oven.
French tech news site iGeneration has come across a new system called “Presto.” The image published by iGeneration shows a sleek silver device made up of multiple shelves. According to Google’s translation of the report, each shelf can hold six iPhones at once. It appears that the Presto system can accommodate multiple shelves, likely allowing for the simultaneous use of more than one class of iPhones.

The Presto system is supposed to install the latest version of iOS in 15 to 30 minutes. Apple says it aims to reduce the time it takes to update a new iPhone to the latest version of iOS from the moment customers open the box to about 20 minutes.
However, why don't new iPhones come with the latest software pre-installed before they reach consumers' hands? The answer is simple: time. Often, devices remain in their boxes for a long time, during which Apple has already released several iOS updates ,which are important, as they not only offer new features and bug fixes, but also incorporate essential security updates.
It's not yet clear how this system works. However, Ars Technica makes an interesting case. According to the article, it's possible that Apple will integrate NFC chips into its phones. While the article explains that it's unlikely that Apple would use the NFC connection to transfer the software update, due to the maximum data rate of 848 kbit/s, it's possible that this connection is sufficient to connect the iPhone to Wi-Fi and deliver the updates through this process.
We've been hearing about the upcoming Presto system for a few months now. Last October, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported that Apple was working on a new way to update iPhones without having to open the box. According to Gurman, the system could wirelessly wake up the iPhone, deliver the update, and then turn it off.

According to a recent report, Gurman revealed that Apple was planning to widely implement the Presto system in its US stores in April, with the goal of equipping all of its stores with these systems by the summer. It is also reported that Apple is using technologies such as MagSafe and other wireless solutions to power up iPhones.
