Apple has been working with third-party accessory makers over the past six months to redesign the packaging of products sold in its retail stores, according to 9to5Mac. The new co-designed boxes more closely match the look of Apple's own products.
According to a notice that Apple has sent to retail store employees, new packaging will start to appear on store shelves for accessories from Tech21, Sena, Incase, Mophie, Logitech, and Life Proof. According to the memo, the packaging will be mostly white to match the Mac, iPhone, and Apple Watch boxes, while they will also include simpler fonts, new photography, higher-quality materials, and more consistent compatibility labeling.
