Apple says : "Use our Apple stores Wi-Fi to download Lion"


Apple store representatives today said that although its Genius Bar technicians won't install Lion for customers, Mac owners can use a store's Internet connection to download the 4GB upgrade.

Customers can bring their Mac notebooks into any Apple store, then use the store's Wi-Fi network to download Lion next month, representatives from several stores said today.

That may be a way users stuck with a slow or metered connection -- a dial-up account, for instance, or a satellite-served connection -- can obtain the upgrade.


Apple has spelled out deployment options for volume customers, including schools, universities and businesses, saying that they will be able to download Lion once, then copy an installer to multiple Macs.

Lion is slated for a July release and will be sold for $29.99 only through the Mac App Store.
