After a year - recollective drouth of iPads , Apple finally revealed the newiPad AirandiPad Promodels during its lease Loose result on May 7 . This was a unique announcement because it broke some old traditions ; the iPad Air now come in two size : an 11 - inch and 13 - inch , just like the iPad Pro . But these unexampled iPads are also break off another longtime tradition : They wo n’t come with iconic Apple stickers . Gasp .
grant to9to5Mac , Apple Store teams received a memo where Apple explained that the iconic Apple stickers wo n’t be include inside the box of the novel iPad Air and iPad Pro . The reasoning ? As part of Apple ’s environmental goals , it is trying to ensure that its promotion is completely free of plastic .

If you plan on have a young iPad Air or iPad Pro andreallywant the Apple dagger , you may still get one , however . Apple Stores are arrest special shipments of the Apple logo stickers , which can be distributed to customers who purchase a new iPad Air or iPad Pro , but only upon request . When an Apple Store hands out all of its stickers , more can be ordered from Apple ’s website .
Again , only Apple Stores will be mystify these pricker to reach out to new iPad Air and iPad Pro customers . So , if you ’re planning to buy an iPad Air or iPad Pro from another retailer , like Amazon or Best Buy , you wo n’t be able to get a sticker . The only way to get your beloved Apple sticker is to buy your new iPad right away from Apple this time around if you have n’t been doing that already .
Apple has been including Apple logotype stickers in its products since 1977 with the Apple II , so this is a pretty significant change . However , this variety also seems a little inconsistent so far . TheM3 MacBook Air , which launched this past March , still has stickers in the boxful . But theApple Vision Pro , which came out in February , did not . At this spot , will theiPhone 16lineup give us our precious stickers ? Who knows .
I remember back in my college days when I would actually slap those Apple logo paster on thing like my car , water bottle , notebooks , headphone cases , or whatever else I felt like . It was a fun small extra .
But in recent yr , I do n’t think I have even taken those gummed label out of the manual sleeves in my iPhone boxes . I raise out of my sticker phase , and I do n’t see those dagger on cars as much as I did years ago .
If this really is the end of the route for the Apple sticker , we bid it a right farewell . Thank you , dear Apple sticker , for your tireless service throughout the years — and may you rest easy .
