Apple Ditches Stickers From iPhone 16 Boxes to Boost Environmental Efforts

Highlights

  • Apple has decided to stop including Apple stickers in the iPhone 16 retail boxes.
  • Customers can still request them at Apple Stores.
  • This move is aimed at Apple’s environmental goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2030.

We have come a long way from the first-generation iPhones. While the design has to be one of the noticeable changes, Apple has slowly moved away from a lot of things that were earlier Apple identifiers. Apple stickers tucked inside the retail boxes are one such thing and it looks like the Cupertino giant has finally decided to move away from them as well.

Yes, as sad as it may sound, Apple is removing one of the novelty items from the iPhone 16 box – Apple Stickers.

Apple Logo Sticker won’t exist anymore

In a report, 9to5Mac confirms seeing messaging distributed to Apple Store teams this week where the brand confirmed that the iPhone 16 will not come with Apple stickers in the box.

However, the report also mentions that iPhone 16 buyers can request stickers at the Apple Store at the time of purchase if needed.

This basically means when you visit the Apple stores for the iPhone 16 series, you can request an Apple sticker from the counter. Otherwise, your new iPhone 16 box would not carry stickers like previous iPhones.

To recall, there was a time when iPhone retail boxes were a complete brand introduction package. We have previously seen Apple bundling the iPhone stereo headset, the iconic 30-pin to USB-A cable, a charging brick, a charging dock, Apple stickers and also a cleaning cloth inside the box with the iPhone.

However, this may not be such a disappointment for users as one would assume and Apple has definitely done its research before taking the decision.

Earlier this year, Jon Gruber conducted a poll on X (previously Twitter) to check the mood of the internet on the question – Should Apple include stickers with new devices to reduce waste?

image

Caption – John Gruber’s X Poll results.


The poll results were a clear indication that most consumers are actually okay with the idea of Apple not bundling the stickers in the retail boxes.

The trend of removing items from the iPhone box is old. It first caught attention when TF International’s well-known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo made a surprising prediction in 2020 before the iPhone 12 was launched. Kuo predicted Apple would soon remove the charging brick and the EarPods from the box.

While the decision was met with criticism from experts and consumers alike, the one change made Apple save about $6.5 billion by the end of March 2022.

iPhone 16 won’t include stickers in the box

The decision to remove Apple strikers, although a setback for nostalgia merchants, should be welcomed. It is another step by the tech giant towards its environmental goals. Apple plans to become carbon neutral by 2030.

In similar efforts, Apple has also made iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro packaging entirely fibre-based this year.  This brings the brand a step closer to removing all plastic from its packaging in the future.

Customers have already pointed out that stickers were missing this year from Apple Vision Pro, iPad Pro and iPad Air boxes as well.

FAQs

Why is Apple removing stickers from the iPhone 16 box?

Apple is removing Apple stickers to align with its environmental goals, including reducing waste and becoming carbon neutral by 2030.

Can customers still get Apple stickers with the iPhone 16?

Yes, customers can request Apple stickers at Apple Stores even though they are no longer included in the iPhone 16 retail boxes.

What items are no longer included in the iPhone 16 retail box?

Answer. The iPhone 16 retail box no longer includes Apple stickers. Customers can request them at Apple Stores if needed.

Why has Apple made changes to the iPhone 16 packaging?

Answer. Apple has made these changes to support its environmental goals, such as reducing waste and becoming carbon neutral by 2030. The packaging is now entirely fibre-based.

What did John Gruber Poll result show on the iPhone 16 stickers ?

John Gruber posted a poll on “X” in this May to judge what the users think about the impending end to finding stickers in the iPhone box. 62.5% voted with Apple that it was time to stop wasting the materials needed to make the stickers while 37.5% disagreed. When you just spent $800-$1,200 on a new phone, who cares about a sticker that probably cost Apple less than 5 cents to include in the box? I’d rather see Apple put the charging brick back in the box instead of leaving me with a sticker or two.

Facebook and Instagram Getting New AI Tags for AI-Generated Content and Media

0

Highlights

  • Meta is replacing the “Made with AI” tag with an “AI info” label across Facebook, Instagram, and Threads.
  • Aims to address mislabeling content edited with AI tools.
  • The “AI info” label will provide details about the level of AI editing.
  • The changes will be implemented starting next week.

The change is intended to “better reflect the extent of AI used in content,” says Monika Bickert, Meta’s Vice President of Content Policy. “We’ve continued to work with companies across the industry to improve our labeling process so that labels on our platforms are more in line with peoples’ expectations.”

Earlier this year, Meta had revealed its plans to change the ways AI content gets labelled on its social media platforms. The company introduced new policies for content edited or manipulated with generative AI on both Facebook and Instagram. It also started labelling media with a “Made with AI” watermark.

However, soon photographers all around the world started noticing issues with this tagging system. The issue was Meta AI labelling any content edited with AI tools including minor modifications such as retouching with the “Made with AI” tag.

Now, addressing these concerns, Meta has decided to again change its AI labelling way and replace the “Made with AI” tag with the “AI info” label across all its platforms. This will apply to a wider range of video, audio and image content.

Users will now be able to click on the “AI info” label over the image to get more information. The “AI Info” label will reveal details of the level of AI editing a picture or video has been through before it was posted on Facebook and/or Instagram.

Meta updated its old blog titled “Our Approach to Labeling AI-Generated Content and Manipulated Media” and announced the new labelling plans.

The company confirmed that it will roll out the changes to the “AI info” labels starting next week.  This will be uniform on all its platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Threads.

Once the new AI labels rollout, any content that Meta’s algorithms detect as modified or edited by the AI tool will get the new “AI Info” tag

However, Meta also clarifies that the “AI info” label will still be visible on content that is generated by an AI tool entirely.

“For content that we detect was only modified or edited by AI tools, we are moving the “AI info” label to the post’s menu. We will still display the “AI info” label for the content we detect was generated by an AI tool and share whether the content is labelled because of industry-shared signals or because someone self-disclosed. These changes will begin next week,”

What this means is if Meta detects that content posted on its social media platforms such as Facebook or Instagram has been edited with any AI tools, the details will be revealed in the “AI info” label in a menu. Users can simply click on the tag to get more information.

Any generative AI content will be tagged with the “AI info” label automatically to inform users.

FAQs

How is Meta changing the AI content labelling policy?

Meta is replacing the “Made with AI” tag with an “AI info” label across Facebook, Instagram, and Threads to address concerns about mislabeling content edited with AI tools.

How can users get more information about AI-edited content on Meta’s platforms?

Users can click on the “AI info” label over the image, video, or audio to get details about the level of AI editing it has undergone.

 When will the new “AI info” labels be implemented?

The changes will start rolling out next week, and the “AI info” label will be applied to any content detected as modified or generated by AI tools.

What changes are being introduced to these platforms ?

Earlier , any photo or video that was edited using regular editing tools were dubbed AI-generated.

This let go a backlash from photographers who claimed that they haven’t used any AI tool but just basic editing tools to make photos publish-worthy.

Facebook and Instagram now say that for content that is detected to have been modified or edited by AI tools, the “AI info” label is being moved to the post’s menu (three dots).
