iPhone 16 has been all the rage in the realm of the high-end smartphone market for over a week now and is on the verge of hitting store shelves shortly.
But if you're planning to get the latest iPhone 16 series, then brace for not getting the "Apple stickers" along with the box. The decision from the tech giant is being attributed to the eco-friendly and sustainability approach of manufacturing.
Although the majority of the determined iPhone users have nodded in approval for the initiative, the development seems to have also irked some.
The removal of the Apple Stickers comes just as an addition to the already clogged list of accessories Apple has discarded over the years. The products Apple no longer offers inside the box include earphones, charging adapters, and cleaning cloth from the packaging.
Reportedly, the iPhone maker is made a discreet, internal announcement only to the Apple Store teams earlier this week.
It should be noted that this is not only the case of the iPhone 16 series, but none of the iPhones from this onwards will carry stickers alongside the packaging.
Another reason behind this thoughtful stride from Apple is that it's adamant about becoming carbon neutral by the year 2030.
