据彭博社记者马克·古尔曼透露，苹果在筹划Apple Upgrade设备租赁计划期间曾构想一项功能[1]。该方案设想在iPhone工厂生产阶段就将用户的iCloud备份数据预装到设备中，使用户收到新手机时无需经历繁琐的数据转移步骤，可直接投入使用[1]。
然而这一设想最终因多方面因素未能实现[1]。其中一个关键问题在于数据同步的时效性——由于备份数据是在发货时传输的，用户收到设备时这些信息可能已不是最新状态[1]。此外，苹果还需要面对隐私隐患，即消费者可能担忧苹果在工厂环节接触其个人信息[1]。值得注意的是，苹果约两年前曾为Apple Store推出"Presto"系统，允许员工在保持包装盒完整的前提下完成iOS系统更新[1]。
Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman has disclosed that Apple previously explored a feature for its contemplated device leasing program that would have pre-installed user iCloud backup data directly onto iPhones during manufacturing [1]. Under this concept, customers receiving their new devices would have been able to use them immediately without going through the typical data transfer process [1].
The proposal faced significant obstacles that prevented its implementation. A core technical challenge was that data would have been loaded onto devices during shipment, meaning the information might not reflect the most current state when users received their phones [1]. Beyond functionality concerns, Apple also grappled with privacy considerations, as consumers could have raised concerns about the company accessing personal information during the factory setup process [1].
The company introduced a "Presto" system for Apple Store operations two years ago, which enabled staff to complete iOS system updates without opening device packaging [1]. However, the factory pre-loading feature for its leasing initiative ultimately never came to fruition [1].
