At least make us laugh with the apple trolling. This doesn’t even make sense. The whole point of it is to avoid this.

So they're going to update the entire stock one by one without charging it every update? The only other way is to only do it one time when the phone is bought. Which will take the same amount of time in the store... 🤷‍♂️

"Well, while you are in the store, waiting, anyway, why don't you spend that time looking at our other offers? Maybe you need some accessories to go with that new phone of yours?"

Even if that's the case that would save time since you have to drive back home to unbox the new phone, and in the meantime it could update.

Sooo, if they update it in the store you're not gonna take it home and unbox it?... The order of doing those doesn't change the time they take... 😅
