    It was determined a group of workers was slipping new iPhones like the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro into orders secretly, replacing the actually ordered contents of a package at the last moment. iPadizate reports it is believed the orders were placed by an accomplice.

    Ya think?  Or perhaps they are the notorious Santa Thieves who just like giving expensive stuff to strangers.

    The smaller packaging of the new iPhones marginally helps thieves as well.  Maybe Apple should start packaging then like CDs in the 1980s to make them bulkier.
    In the Apple video, they told us that they wanted smaller packaging and told us there were headphones and power supplies overrunning our houses, causing us to buy larger houses, waste precious natural resources, and cause islands in the South Pacific to capsize.  To relieve this problem, they stopped shipping the power supplies and headphones, and pocketed the $38 retail value of these, and made the box thinner, so they could get more on the aircraft used to deliver them, instead of using an ocean transport.  Virtue will only convenient when it's convenient.

    That was fun (not!) getting CD's in the '80s, and getting outside of Tower Records and cutting the package open and throwing it away, even for gifts. 
    Oh yeah, and they didn't have to remove the items from the packaging in order to save room. All they had to do was simply make the boxes smaller.  Look inside the older boxes and you'll see there is a lot of air inside. Heck, even the new box has too much air inside but plenty of room for those items.

    I just bought a Samsung Note 20 Ultra and guess what, same size as before, but no headphones, case or screen protector like before. They are all getting cheap and charging us more, like $1300 for the phone. I'm not complaining about the phone as it is a great device, just the little things the company does,... or doesn't do.
