IMEI Sticker on box

[gracehonour]

Is it normal for a sticker containing my IMEI number to be placed on the back of my iPhone 13 pro box?

Hi @gracehonour 

Yes, perfectly normal. Otherwise stores won't know what the IMEI number is on the phone they are selling without unsealing the box.

@gracehonour  It’s also how apple can track a device should that device be stolen in transit. The device can be blocked from ever working.
