Apple’s plastic-free packaging means pack-in logo stickers are going away

Pack-in Apple stickers go back at least as far as 1977’s Apple II.

@arstechnica There is a culture that likes to advertise their product loyalty.... I dunno, I still have my NeXT stickers somewhere.

@arstechnica Remember that environmentalism was the excuse for removing the charger brick from the box of the latest iphones. This is just another step in removing things from the box so that you have to buy them separately. I wouldn't be suprised if apple removed the USB type c port to make you go out and buy an apple branded wireless charger. Don't give them any more ideas, I don't want them to get courageous again lest android phones follow suit.

I have a bunch of these going back to the original rainbow logo. Never once used them, as I never put stickers on anything. I always found it interesting though when people put them on their car windows.

I've still got lots of these collected over the years. But I can't recall actually using one. Still, I looked forward to them being there. 🤷‍♂️

@arstechnica That argumentation is beyond stupid but the Fanboys will buy it as they bought everything stupid in the past ...

@arstechnica No problem, I still got enough of them for quite a while I expect. ;-)
