The 'Apple logo sticker' that comes with the iPhone will finally disappear with the iPhone 16



Until now, iPhone packaging has come with an 'Apple logo sticker,' but 9to5Mac, which handles Apple-related news, reports that this will no longer be the case with the iPhone 16 series.

End of an era: iPhone 16 won't include stickers in the box - 9to5Mac

In the iPhone packaging, along with the iPhone itself and a USB-C to USB-C cable for charging, an Apple logo sticker was included. In the case of the iPhone 15, which was released in September 2023, the following sticker is included.



9to5Mac has obtained an email sent to employees at Apple's retail stores, which states that 'iPhone 16 series packaging will not include Apple logo stickers. However, Apple is still producing Apple logo stickers and will distribute them to iPhone 16 buyers upon request.

If you buy the iPhone 16 at an Apple Store, you can request the sticker at the time of purchase, but it doesn't appear you'll get one otherwise. Third-party retailers and mobile carrier partners don't have the stickers to distribute, and you won't get one if you buy the iPhone 16 from the website.



Apple is no longer including stickers as part of

its ongoing efforts to become carbon neutral by 2030. In 2024, Apple advertised that the packaging for the iPhone 16 series will be entirely fiber-based, bringing it closer to its goal of eliminating all plastic from packaging by 2025.

In addition, the Apple Vision Pro , which was released in February 2024 (June in Japan), and the iPad Pro and iPad Air , which were released in May 2024, did not come with an Apple logo sticker.
