A new rumor Wednesday had Apple finding a unique way to safeguard the data of iOS device users visiting the Genius Bar for a replacement. Apple's retail store labs were purported by 9to5 to be testing Wi-Fi nodes that would clone an iCloud backup on to a local server. Once the replacement was done, a Genius technician would simply pull the local iCloud backup, getting it much faster than they would if they had to go to the Internet first.
