For years, the iconic Apple prints have been part of the brand's devices, and many users consider them a significant detail when purchasing a new iPhone. But in this case, users are surprised to find that the iPhone 16 no longer includes these in its box.

Goodbye to stickers on the iPhone 16 box

The removal of these items follows a trend Apple has maintained in recent years: reducing the amount of parts in the box of its products. First the headphones disappeared, then the charger, now the seals. While Apple has not released an official statement on the specific reason behind the decision, many are reporting that it is part of the company's efforts to meet its environmental obligations.
