(Conspiracy Theories) iPhone X and maybe others (Apple Store) Shipping container question.


mostly nothing department

have noticed, on @ least usa shipments, iphone x shipping container has cross clear tape on enclosure that's been cut, placed on that, tape seals box along edge. in particular box, final tape length of box, , not fold on @ corners.

example:

youtube unboxing illustrates seeing. zoom in, if need to.
----


on uk unboxing, can see box has not been cross taped.
----

question, may not have answer... why bother tapping box, breaking seal, taping again? phone spent 6 days in china export, 3 days in korea, before making here. called apple , complained delays , apple upgraded shipping saturday delivery. got phone today. didn't ask anything, let them know concerned on unusual delays.

there possibility customs opens boxes, either looks see if it's phones or drugs, seals them up? possible phones tampered during shipping?

thoughts?
 

probably customs checking. guess on huge phone launch when millions of phones coming on seas it’s god time send bunch of fakes, or hide illegal in couple boxes.
