Why Apple Stopped Including Stickers with iPhones.

Apple has decided to remove stickers from the boxes of new devices as a step towards environmentally friendly packaging without plastic. This tradition had been in place for many years, but now most users will not find any stickers in their boxes.

Internal documents for Apple Store employees explain that this move started with the iPad and iPad Pro with the aim of reducing plastic use in packaging. The iPhone lineup held out the longest, but the new iPhone 16s are the first without stickers.

The idea of adding stickers emerged back in 1977: fans would stick the logo on various surfaces to promote the brand. Over Time, different versions appeared, but today, most users do not receive stickers.

For Apple, ecology is now the most important thing. Anyone who wants can visit the official store for a sticker, but there definitely won't be one in the box of a new iPhone.

Apple has decided to stop adding stickers to the boxes of its devices in favor of more eco-friendly packaging without plastic. This move, according to the company, is part of a global initiative to reduce plastic use in packaging. The new iPhone 16s became the first devices that will not have stickers in their boxes, even disappointing some nostalgic fans.
