GoKawiilApple to repurpose Presto machines for sealed-box iPhone return checks
Apple is reportedly adapting its Presto iOS-updating machines to run diagnostics on returned iPhones without opening their sealed packaging, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Currently, staff must open sealed boxes to verify a returned iPhone works, which prevents it from being resold as new and forces a trip back to the warehouse for repackaging. Presto would scan and test the device through the sealed box, allowing a quicker refund and restocking process.
