GizmodoRumored, Never-to-Be-Released Apple Feature May Have Been Too Much Truth for Most ConsumersYou know Apple has all your data, but do you really want to be made aware of it?

An option to pre-load new devices with the users data won’t be available, but Gurman says it was in the works for a while.
He says it would have been called a “white-glove component,” and if the user opted into it, it would have arrived “preloaded with all of your data via your iCloud backup.”
Since the title doesn’t mention the feature in question, it’s having a device delivered to you with your iCloud data preloaded with it.

that’s really a pointless feature, since it doesn’t really take all that long to load the data yourself…

Especially since if you’re choosing that, you usually have the device handy. At which point a direct transfer is easy to do, and that’s been a feature for a while.
