Are stickers good now? Apple stopped including stickers with their devices and gift cards because plastic was bad.

Probably not a good idea for resale value. And who is walking around with a iPhone 17 Pro/Pro Max without a case?
In a video uploaded to its YouTube channel in South Korea today, Apple showed off a handful of iPhone 17 Pro devices decorated with tiny stickers.
<SNIP>
The stickers are placed on the iPhone 17 Pro's so-called "plateau," the protruding aluminum area housing the rear cameras, an LED flash, a microphone, and the LiDAR Scanner. The video has the hashtags #PhoneDecor and #iPhoneCustomization.
"Stick it here," says Apple.
The ad is accompanied by a pair of YouTube Shorts.

People in these countries do and like that. Watch an online TV-channel from these regions. They like it. They are allowed to like it. We do not have to follow that. So: we just can not do and ignore it. They do not like our pristine phones without stickers.

That plateau should be a second screen for alerts, information and selfies.

Someday the camera Pangaea will overtake the whole back of the phone.
We’ll have so much more room for stickers!

Most stickers come off easily enough, and most iPhone cases don't cover the plateau.
Seems like a rubbish attempt at making the plateau look like a feature rather than intrusive design decision.

Not saying I know how to do it any better.
But just embrace the decision instead of trying to hide it like with the notch on the iPhone XS default wallpaper. 😂

Correcting them means a thicker phone; which no doubt also be panned on MR.

"We can't actually get Siri to work the way we promised you over a year ago now... but look at the fun stickers! Look at them!!!"

Same reason I have stickers on the back of my laptop, as a 46 year old man. Because it's fun.
Why not?

Those factory stickers that advertise the guts, yea, but people have been putting personal and fun stickers on their own computers since the very beginning, Macs included.

Poor atempt to emulate one of the best ads ever...
This ad is 12 years old!

Call me a brainwashed Apple Sheep, but the "plateau" and overall design of the 17 Pro have grown on me.
I don't have any stickers on mine, but it is kind of a cute way to personalize the device.
