Apple is set to officially launch the iPhone Duo on October 23. For certain users who buy this device at Apple retail stores across the United States, a personalized touch awaits them. Upon first-time startup, they will be greeted with an initial setup screen that prominently displays their own name, like "Hello, Mark." It's worth noting that this unique feature is strictly limited to the U.S. market, applies solely to the iPhone Duo model, and is offered in both English and Spanish.
As of now, Apple has kept the specifics of how this feature will be implemented under wraps. However, speculation points towards the existing Presto system utilized in Apple retail stores. This system is already capable of performing wireless updates on iPhones without the need to open their packaging, suggesting it could be the key to delivering this personalized experience.
