They built specialized tools to update iOS through the cardboard box without opening it before it goes on sale. I’m sure they can build something with a big “go” button if it’s important.
- RulerOf 6mo agoThey did?
- jackvalentine 6mo agoYes! https://www.macworld.com/article/2107557/iphone-ios-update-in-the-box-retail-stores.html https://www.macworld.com/article/2107557/iphone-ios-update-i... https://talk.macpowerusers.com/t/apples-in-box-device-update-in-stores-really-works/39310 https://talk.macpowerusers.com/t/apples-in-box-device-update...
- RulerOf 6mo agoThat is absolutely fascinating. I'm gonna have to pay attention the next time I open an iPhone box. I'd bet they're sitting on their faces in the box. I really wonder how the wireless data transfer works.
- Petersipoi 6mo agoNobody is arguing whether or not Apple could build the box. Apple could do almost anything that another company does. "Why doesn't Apple build their own planes to ship iPhones". Well, obviously because it's way cheaper, faster, and rational to use the perfectly good existing planes/boxes/you-name-it.
- dewey 6mo agoThat’s true, but it seems unlikely to me that they would partner with the company that helped the FBI unlock iPhones and is in general an adversary to Apple.
- jrflowers 6mo ago> Nobody is arguing whether or not Apple could build the box. People aren’t debating whether or not Apple could theoretically find a way to transfer data between the devices they make and sell. The question here is if there is any evidence for the assertion that Apple buys Cellebrite devices in lieu of making their own solution for transferring data between the devices that they make and sell.
