This seems really easy to implement , IMO. Here's a world where this basically already works:
* When an iPhone comes from the factory, it's not really off-off, it's just in standby mode. Probably true to some extent in any case?
* If battery is above 50%, try to connect to a special Apple Store wifi network with a known signature. (Wifi has to have this kind of feature, right?)
* If you're connected, check for updates and apply any that apply.
* Go back to sleep.
Easy peasy. Bonus points if you can wirelessly charge them through the box, but honestly apple stores probably go through enough product it doesn't even matter.
- crazygringo 3y agoAFAIK it's off-off. Any kind of standby mode that was monitoring WiFi would drain the battery after some number of weeks, and Apple doesn't want consumers to open their box to a phone that won't turn on until it's charged. And phones can definitely sit around for many months, at the warehouse and the store.
