The box was a total remake from the three previous versions. It was slightly larger and the sleeve was white and black. The clamshell box was also white and black. Inside it was written on the right flap “Designed by Apple in California” in Myriad font in a subtile gray color. The white styrofoam inserts were back again. But it was three pieces now, not two. The envelope with documents and the CD was white.
