To begin the operation, the iPhone box has to be aligned properly, which is said to take around 20 seconds. Once placed, the machine will take anywhere between 15 to 30 minutes to update the iPhone to the latest stable version of iOS.

This means that when a user buys a new iPhone, especially one which has been manufactured a few months before, they don’t have to spend over 20 minutes updating it to the latest version before using the device. On top of that, this also means Apple will be able to fix bugs and improve security by pushing the software update even to unopened devices. Right now, the technology is limited to the US, and in the coming days, Apple will further expand the Presto iPhone software update technology to other markets.
