Other Do your iPhones come in a shipping box that has adequate packing materials?

Just got my 14 Pro from Verizon. It was delivered by FedEx.

When I picked up the box, I heard the phone box sliding around all over. Open it up and there’s some bubble packing stuff on top but nothing on the sides or the bottom.

What are these people/companies thinking? I can order some soap and it’ll be packed on all sides. This is a $1,000 phone.

I kinda wonder if the phone is even sound internally after being shipped across the country like this. Can’t set it up till tomorrow.

Just wondering if others are receiving their phones with almost no packing materials.

The iPhone box protects the phone. You don't need a box to protect the iPhone box. You're phone is fine.

The phone was inside a box which is designed for being transported so it’s fine.

It’s an iPhone, not a 30 year old retro Macintosh LC II made out of plastic that’s about to turn into dust.

My >2000 Euro phone came packed very well. Ordered from Apple.

It doesn't really matter to them. If you make payments you're on the hook for the phone. If you bought it outright they already have their money.

There was a time T-Mobile was shipping iPhones in bubble mailers.

They have looked minimalist to me since the iP X.
But both boxes have been very sturdy and dent resistant.
Shock absorbtion has been well engineered and the contents, in my experience, have arrived in pristine condition. (X, Xs, 14P).

That's a Verizon failure, not Apple's.

If you look at how Apple ships MacBooks, iPads, and iPhones, they're all double boxed using a form fitting design.
