Hi all

just got an Apple Pencil 2nd Gen and noticed the outside box has 2020, the manual has 2019 on it and on the bottom of the box which slides out of the outer box it has 2018 on it.

Is this normal? Or is it possible this is a repackaged product?

thanks

My packaging is identical to yours. Not something you should be worried about IMO.

Probably not repackaged, but why would that be a big deal in the first place?

I paid full price for it, and wondered if it was a used one with a box booklets etc off another one to make it look new, always see Apple boxes selling on eBay etc which people often buy to do exactly as I describe.

the cellophane on mine had the pull tab that’s on official Apple packaging so I think I am good.
