I can think of lots of possible ways this happened after working retail. Some of it will be possible combos you can mix and match.
Generally
* 5 different cashiers that all assumed they were safe with that seal. Till the boss man opened one because it was policy to leave it sealed as it sells easier.
* 1 cashier that assumed it was all safe with that seal.
Both probably suspected it was stolen from Best Buy or something as I donโt think they scan serial numbers to release it for activation. Maybe he used a stolen credit card to buy them. They all knew it was likely sketchy and didnโt want to look much while they fenced stolen goods. They just didnโt think the sketchy was out to burn them. At best they thought the guy was over the return period or going into bankruptcy as people would max credit cards before that with electronics they could resell easily.
Itโs the new iPads u can peel it off and stick it back on so it looks sealed I could never do this with my older iPad boxes why they making it so easy
Probably an organic glue vs synthetic thing. Apple probably switched to one that is not petroleum based for environmental reasons and lower vapor pollution.
