Apple officially launched the iPad Pro M4, iPad Air M2, Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard versions at a press conference on May 7.
Pre-orders for the products have opened immediately in selected countries and regions, where users can receive them as soon as May 15. However, with the new iPad Pro and iPad Air models, users need to be mentally prepared that a small item in the new product box that many Apple fans love will also disappear.
iPad Pro M4 and iPad Air M2 will be available from May 15.
As reported by 9to5Mac, Apple has opened pre-orders for the new iPad line in the US, Canada and UK. However, starting with iPad Pro M4 and iPad Air M2, the classic “Apple logo” label will no longer be included in the product packaging. Apple explained the decision as part of its “Apple 2030” net zero emissions goal and efforts to reduce the use of plastic in product packaging.
However, Apple fans still have the opportunity to receive a "limited number" of Apple stickers when stores directly operated by Apple in the US will keep a certain number of stickers to provide to consumers. when they bought new iPad Pro and iPad Air, and proactively requested them. When Apple stores run out of stickers, users can still order them from the company's headquarters.
The familiar Apple sticker will no longer be included in the iPad Pro M4 and iPad Air M2 cases.
It is currently unclear whether Apple Stores in other regions will apply the same method, and whether other Apple products will no longer have this commemorative sticker in the future.
In addition to creating innovative products, Apple is committed to the “Apple 2030” environmental goal of net-zero carbon emissions. For example, 99% of iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max cases are made of fibrous materials, ensuring that these materials come from recycled and responsibly managed forest lands.
