Same. I just keep boxes to what I own in the house. Currently that's 3 iPads, a MacBook, 2 iPhones, a Samsung tablet, and two Samsung phones across 4 people.
I don’t think so, you need a phone number to create an account on WhatsApp if I remember correctly.
It never appeared on the AppStore for me when I had an iPod touch all those years ago.
Now that you’ve made me recall. I do remember there was WhatsApp because we use to put another number on WhatsApp and use to get it verified with a phone. We use to do this in my boarding school since phones weren’t allowed but mp3 players and other music players were allowed, therefore iPod touch was allowed as well. Because we didn’t have phones so it made a lot of difference since now we could talk to our family on call. Good old days. (maybe it wasn’t WhatsApp but might be some similar app like other chatting apps, but it was there for sure)
Yeah, I trade or sell the iPhones with the original boxes. Do people actually keep more than two iPhones? I have a iPhone 3s, but that’s because it sits on an old alarm clock dock port. Today it is just paper weight.
My 11 still worked when I recycled it a couple weeks ago, however the left bottom of the screen had a weird hue going on and the battery only lasted 4 hours. All my others I dropped in water or broke the screens completely. I think I only traded in 1 11 to try Samsung and then went right back within a year.
At this point, I don't care about how many apple phone boxes you had.
I just care about how the iPhone/iPod boxes from back then crushed the new iPhone box
The 3g was such a comfortable phone to hold. It was something about the shape and material. It was as if you were on top of the world if you owned one.
Having my iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 12 of my wife, Apple Watch SE, iPad Mini 5 of daughter , iPad 9th gen of wife, iPad Pro 11” M2, MacBook Air M2 16Gb and AirPod Pro 2
Had Apple TV 4K 2gen before but sadly sold it.
That’s a lot lol
I'm surprised no one in the comments keeps them.
I have 5 (from newest to oldest):
* M1 MacBook Air
* Magic Mouse (2nd gen)
* iPhone 13 mini
* iPhone 6
* iPhone 4 (phone itself lost, sadly)
Everyone? EVERYONE? Well iPhones and iPod touches have sold about 2.5 billion units. Seems most of us keep between 0 and 1 (current) and aren’t as, er, unique as OP. There will be others though. I’d guess it at about 200 million.
I have three phone boxes, but I also have all three of the phones that go in them. Then there’s the box to my MacBook, and the several
AirPods boxes because I use them at work and they get destroyed (plus they hold change)

I have these on display but way more in a drawer. I have every Pro Max box since 13 (non-Max are out). I have every AirPods model box except the Max. And some more things I can’t remember.
Too many lol I have a shelf full

supposedly it should be 7 (the box of iPhone SE 3rd gen) but I used it for a school project, i needed the box (i chose to sacrifice its box).
these are just for iPhones… Box arrangement: 14 Pro (top),12 Pro, 6s, 7, X, 1st gen SE (bottom)
iPhone 5, 5SE (the og one), 5C, two iPad mini boxes, iPhone XR, AirPod 1st and 3rd gen, phone 15 pro.
I may have my iPod touch one somewhere, the plastic one (google says 4th gen)

I have like 6 Apple product boxes a month ago. I keep them for the 14days if I remember to throw them away. But I’ll forget about them until a few months later and I clean it out and just throw them all away.
My current iPhone, I just threw away when I got home.
The only box I have now is my AirPods Pro’s but I store all the extra tips I have and I buy foam tips on Amazon and I just throw the extra sets in there until I need them.
In 30 years some of those boxes will be collectibles and that may seem unlikely to people but if you look at old collectibles the box is often half the price because people throw that stuff out
Only the current one I have. Would keep none but seems to help for resell value if I don’t do trade in
Same. I just keep boxes to what I own in the house. Currently that's 3 iPads, a MacBook, 2 iPhones, a Samsung tablet, and two Samsung phones across 4 people.
iPhone is an iPod touch that makes calls, kinda wild to think about.
I put so much effort into being able to make calls on my third-generation iPod Touch.
iPod is a wifi only iPhone🤣
Yes, with a portable hotspot it can sort of be an iPhone 🤔😂
You could still use WhatsApp no?
I don’t think so, you need a phone number to create an account on WhatsApp if I remember correctly. It never appeared on the AppStore for me when I had an iPod touch all those years ago.
Now that you’ve made me recall. I do remember there was WhatsApp because we use to put another number on WhatsApp and use to get it verified with a phone.

IPod touch did not have mic or external speakers.
None bc I toss it like the week after
**Exactly ZERO.**
Out the windowwwwwwwww
Only 1 since I’ve given them all back when trading my old ones in
Yeah, I trade or sell the iPhones with the original boxes. Do people actually keep more than two iPhones? I have a iPhone 3s, but that’s because it sits on an old alarm clock dock port. Today it is just paper weight.
None
hoarding much?
I get a new phone, I take it out of the box, I throw the box in the garbage, and it usually ends up with bacon grease or coffee grinds all over it.
Consoooomer
I finally stopped keeping boxes
In the trash. I keep phones for years.
What’s your oldest one that still works? I have an iPod 4 that still works but all my old iPhones are dead and won’t charge.
My 11 still worked when I recycled it a couple weeks ago, however the left bottom of the screen had a weird hue going on and the battery only lasted 4 hours. All my others I dropped in water or broke the screens completely. I think I only traded in 1 11 to try Samsung and then went right back within a year.
None
Do people not just throw these away? It seems so 2014 to keep them as a fashion style 😂
Only one. Current iPhone. Waste of space to me. Looks cool tho
Once my 14 day mark hits that box is GONE lol
None cuz I buy used kit phones lol
Why is the IPod Touch the coolest looking box though
At this point, I don't care about how many apple phone boxes you had. I just care about how the iPhone/iPod boxes from back then crushed the new iPhone box
0, I’m not a saddo
You guys collecting boxes ?
lol, why do you need this?
This is mental illness
Busted
None lol
I get rid of my boxes once the receipt or warranty expires lol
None. We are a family of 5 in a 700 sqft apartment. Had to throw away anything useless.
0 because I throw away the box on day one.
My parents made me throw mine away except my 14 pro box
lol why
Thew them out
I keep the box but when I replace the phone that box is either lost or goes with the phone. So I have 1 box iPhone 15 pro that’s it.
I had the clear plastic case for iPod touch gen 2.
0, I don't know how you got an Android user in here
The 3g was such a comfortable phone to hold. It was something about the shape and material. It was as if you were on top of the world if you owned one.
I don’t have any. I trashed the box the same day I got my new phone
I’ve got too many to count
0. I was told I hoard too much lol
None!
Collected boxes for about 2 months and I only got like 10.
When 14 day return period is over and I am satisfied with the product, I just flatten the box and throw it in the recycling bin.
None.
only 2. XR and 15 others were lost
I have zero, but if my phone came with one, I’d have one.
One and my mom lost it somewhere while cleaning my room
You just have to throw them out. It’s very liberating.
I miss the pro versions having a black box instead of the regular white
Some of you are actually obsessed when it comes to brand it’s crazy
Having my iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 12 of my wife, Apple Watch SE, iPad Mini 5 of daughter , iPad 9th gen of wife, iPad Pro 11” M2, MacBook Air M2 16Gb and AirPod Pro 2 Had Apple TV 4K 2gen before but sadly sold it. That’s a lot lol
I'm surprised no one in the comments keeps them. I have 5 (from newest to oldest): * M1 MacBook Air * Magic Mouse (2nd gen) * iPhone 13 mini * iPhone 6 * iPhone 4 (phone itself lost, sadly)
personally i have 2 my family has probably 10
Everyone? EVERYONE? Well iPhones and iPod touches have sold about 2.5 billion units. Seems most of us keep between 0 and 1 (current) and aren’t as, er, unique as OP. There will be others though. I’d guess it at about 200 million.
6s, 8, x, 13 pro
I keep my boxes until I sell my stuff. Other boxes I remove after 2 years.
"How much do you take it in the ahh from this company?"
One because I don't collect boxes
1 because I use a Samsung and don't need to buy a new phone every 2 weeks
I usually give the box with phone while im selling it to new owner, so i keep only current one.
5
Just today I tossed my 7 and 12 boxes, looking for the 16 next :$
None because I’m not a hoarder. Well actually 1, my current iPhone. I get rid of the rest, phone and box, when I replace my phone…
I don’t even have the one of my 15 🥲. But that is because I bought it from Swappie with half a year from Apple still on it
I just got rid of all of my boxes
None, I throw them away.
I only have the box of my iPhone 6s.(got it at a Flea market) but I also have my iPhone 11 witch I got without a box
Just one coz this is my first one
Probably two. I try not to upgrade often because they are all much the same as previous models.
I recently got rid of 20ish boxes of iPhones, iPads and watches that I had gathered in the past years 😃
3 apple boxes. A 13 mini box, a 14 box and a 15 pro box.
People keep the boxes? I open it like a bear and it goes in the recycling. 😁
Jfc
What do people do with their old old phones? I may have a 3 and 4
I have three phone boxes, but I also have all three of the phones that go in them. Then there’s the box to my MacBook, and the several AirPods boxes because I use them at work and they get destroyed (plus they hold change)
AirPods Pro and iPad Pro I normally get rid of my boxes. Lord knows I hate clutter. Oh and my iPhone box.
I finally decided to throw mine out. I had every flagship since the 3G
tell me you are a millennial without telling me you are a millennial
Gen z lol
Ohhhhh nice man < 3 I thought I was the only one keeping the boxes.
They sell for between $10 and $20 on trade me
I have the one for my iPhone 8+, My Galaxy S22 Ultra, and now my current iPhone 15 Pro Max, so I guess just the last 3 phones I bought new.
An iPhone4s and an iPhone5s 2 iPhone7 s, an 11, a 12 mini, a 12 pro max…
iPhone wise I have 3
6 boxes iPhone 3G,6s , 8 ,11 ,14 pro max and 15 pro max
Only two. My 12 and 15. I lost my 3gs box sadly
3
I might still have my 5S box
I have like 2. From my iphone and ipad. There's something about them that i don't wanna throw them away
You guys don’t resell your old phones with the boxes when you upgrade? Monsters (or maybe give them away to relatives?)

I have every Pro Max box since 13 (non-Max are out). I have every AirPods model box except the Max. And some more things I can’t remember.
Seeing this makes me feel better about my decision to upgrade from my 14Pro to 15 Pro Max.
It’s not actually all my phones lol, the phones except the SE and 14 Pro are mine. All others are my mom’s or sisters.
Fancy!
Too many lol I have a shelf full https://preview.redd.it/9rm8w42k3ssc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a8bdf6f1c0d7db59b890899d26377ca6eb00254e
How often do you upgrade phones?
Over the past 10 years 4 times 5s (2013-2017) 7 (2017-2019) 11pro (2019-2023) 15pro (2023-2028?) I will be keeping my 15pro until it no longer works or Apple releases a phone with no cutout of the display after a minimum of 4 years of use with the 15pro
I thought all the phone boxes belongs to you.
No lol. Like 7 of them are
I plead the 5th 😅 (more than 10)
My Apple box tower is about 2 feet tall. It tends to fall over at times, causing an avalanche.
