Has anyone noticed the stickers on the back of the iPhone 14 pro max box? There is a sticker at the top that says iPhone 14 pro max designed in California assembled in China. At the bottom there is a sticker that says Apple Inc. One Apple Park Way and has the copyright date and battery, CE and recycle logos. That sticker has an odd cutout in the bottom left almost like they removed something from the sticker.

I find this all odd, maybe due to supply chain issues Apple wasn’t sure where the iPhone would be made when they ordered the boxes printed? It just doesn’t look professional for an Apple product especially the bottom sticker that was cut out.
 
I don’t see any odd cut out on any of thr stickers. Are you talking about what I pointed at with the arrow? That’s just where the pulltab to open the package tore off. If not attach a picture.

Edit: I just noticed a weird shadow effect with the picture. It’s like one of those trick pictures. The part that says Apple, and then Apple Inc. underneath it is a raised sticker above the other area but at least in my eyes, it looks like it’s recessed on the picture. It’s not.

Yep. It’s just from the pull tabs. Always find it funny when some asks if something looks wrong or odd but doesn’t put a picture for people to see.

Yep a photo really helps explain things. Perhaps the OP has a different box because I believe they are made in different locations. At least I know there was talk about that.

If it’s the bottom of the box you have to be careful not to show your IMEI number though.
