Dude, they get a new phone every year. You need the old box to sell last year's model on ebay.

Wait, people can afford phones? Or is that just some crap that people made up about millennials.

Bro's so mad he probably flips phones like pancakes.

Phone boxes can be slick, useful containers for reuse.

It actually has all the serial numbers and stuff you might need if you lose your phone. It's worth keeping for sure.

I still have the box for the phone I bought in 2018 and part exchanged years ago! One day I’ll understand why but today is not that day.

You have it to sell at this point, especially if it’s an apple

Legally phone box is the proof of buying. Court can decide you stole the phone if you don'thave the box.

Phone boxes are great containers for little stuff (SD Cards, USB Sticks...). They are always built way more sturdy than most other packaging products lying round your house.

You don't need it, but it's good to have if you decide to sell your phone.

My thought too, then I realized I've only resold one or two phones lol. Typically they break and when this isn't the case it turned into a up phone/media player.
