Apple will be able to update iPhones while they're still in the box, report claims::No more updating right after you unpack your iPhone.

Also my first thought. But then I realized that since they support wireless charging pads, it is possible that they can also be charged while in the box.

No one wants a new iPhone that comes out of the box at 10% charge. But maybe they can avoid this.

Yes but then you're relying on the employees in the Apple store to actually keep the phones on the charging pads so unless there's one charging pad per phone, they're going to have to rotate them.

I've worked with Apple store employees and let me tell you the name "genius" has never been less appropriate.
