appleinsider.com Apple wants to update iPhones in-store without opening the packaging
Apple has come up with a way to update an iPhone still in its packaging, with a system allowing for iOS updates to be applied to unopened smartphones while still in an Apple Store.

Hmn interesting. How can they do this without turning on the phones?
Obviously they can’t. They place them on a pad, presumably a wireless charging & communication pad. Literally says in the article: “The pad wirelessly turns on the iPhone, runs the software update, then turns it off again.”
