Apple continues phasing out free Apple stickers in product packaging

Apple has continued to omit Apple stickers from the packaging of its 2024 product releases. This trend extends to the latest iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad mini, iPhone 16 models, Vision Pro, and now the newly unveiled iMac, Mac mini, and MacBook Pro. This move aligns with Apple’s efforts to reduce waste and minimize its environmental impact.
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.

Apple Vision Pro’s first killer app debuts
The Apple Vision Pro’s first killer app has arrived in visionOS 2.2, Bloomberg News‘ Mark Gurman writes. It’s the new virtual ultrawide curved monitor mode that serves as a Mac external display, according to Gurman.
Mark Gurman of Bloomberg News:
Apple markets the Vision Pro as a standalone device (complete with powerful chips and a $3,500 price tag), but one of its best features is the ability to serve as a Mac external monitor. In June, Apple announced plans to make that feature even better, bringing a virtual curved monitor mode to the default size, as well as offering new wide and ultrawide monitor options.
The company released a beta version of these capabilities this past week, and they are a game changer. In my view, the features represent the first true killer app for the Vision Pro. They provide a high-resolution Mac external monitor with what feels like an infinite amount of screen real estate. Before these new modes arrived, I was only using my Vision Pro occasionally to watch movies. Now, I’m back to at least trying to use it every workday.
Apple should be marketing the new ultrawide display modes in a major way. It’s that good.
