RIP, Apple Stickers (Kind Of)

It's the end of an era (sorta).

Apple Stickers
Nearly all of Apple's devices released in 2024 do not come with Apple stickers in the box, including the latest iPad Pro and iPad Air, iPad mini, all iPhone 16 models, Vision Pro, and more. Unboxing videos shared today confirm that this trend has continued with the new iMac, Mac mini, and MacBook Pro models launching this Friday.


Apple has stopped including stickers with its latest devices as part of its goal of removing plastic from its packaging by next year. One exception is the latest MacBook Air, which still comes with Apple stickers in the box, but that will likely no longer be the case once the laptop receives its rumored update to the M4 chip around March next year.

You can still ask to receive Apple stickers for free when purchasing one of these devices in person at an Apple Store, provided they have supply, so the era of Apple stickers is not completely over. You'll just no longer find them inside the box.

If you really need Apple stickers, ask at the Apple Store and they may give you some... Many Apple stickers got thrown away and ended up in a landfill somewhere. A win-win for cost savings for Apple and also for the environment.

This is what I wish happened with all stuff they removed like earbuds and chargers. If I'm paying the same price, let ME decide if I need it or it's just e-waste. Or give me a price cut.

...also there will be debate about the tone of this article ?

Perhaps now is a good time to sell some of the leftover stickers on eBay.

Apple is doomed. Only a matter of time before they go bankrupt

I miss the old Apple Death Knell MacObserver page updates...


Obligatory: great, if I hold the ones I have for 30 years, I wonder how much I can get for them? ;)
Now, if Apple were to bring back the original "Apple Computer" multicolor stickers from days gone by, that would be most welcome.
