Serial number info printed on the box, not on stickers

Hello! I bought new AirPods Pro 2. It has similar serial number inside the case and on the box. But!! The information about serial number, upc and other basic information printer right on the box, not on stickers. I’m afraid the shop sells fake..

AirPods Pro (2nd generation)

I suspect your misgivings are warranted.


Clearly serialized product mass-production doesn’t lend itself to “direct on the package” mass-printing.


Did the box have Apple’s unique “green-tab” tamper seals which separate and peel off cleanly?


The 2x seals are adhesively bonded to the inside of the cover, and to the bottom of the bottom.


(i.e. the seals have adhesive on BOTH sides; just in different sections)
