iPhone Duo 'personalized' for buyers at Apple Store

According to Bloomberg expert Mark Gurman, Apple retail stores will be equipped with tools that allow customizing the boot screen of the iPhone Duo folding phone. Specifically, when turning on the device for the first time, the screen will display the words "Hello" accompanied by the customer's name.

Although Apple has not announced the detailed technical mechanism, analysts predict that the company will likely apply Presto - a wireless software update system for the iPhone even when it is still in the unopened box.

The feature of greeting buyers by name will be applied as a limited test for customers who buy devices directly or receive pre-ordered devices at Apple Stores in the US before expanding to other markets. The welcome screen only supports English and Spanish, and the personalization feature is also new exclusively for iPhone Duo.

It is unclear whether users can customize or turn off this feature after completing the initial setup.

iPhone Duo was announced on September 9, opened to receive orders from October 12, officially opened for pre-order from October 16 and began delivering to users on October 23 with a starting price of 1,999 USD.
