Good list! There are a couple in here that I really wish Apple would stop doing, though:

Molded plastic packaging

4-color, double-walled, matte boxes + HD foam inserts

Apple packaging looks pretty but it’s a pain. It’s so tightly packed it can be very hard to open, and all that plastic seems massively wasteful. I’ll admit it is kind of fun peeling off those perfectly-positioned plastic wrappers on absolutely everything, but that again seems very wasteful, and you can’t re-pack it in the same way.

I love products with simple but cleverly-designed cardboard packaging and recyclable or compostable filling. Apple doesn’t do that, but they should.
