How many Apple stickers do you have?
For decades, Apple has included two Apple logo stickers with its hardware and software packages, giving customers a way to publicly display their love or appreciation of Apple products. But even Apple fanatics only have so much car exterior to plaster, leaving most of these stickers unused.
Apple computers originally came with the rainbow-colored logo stickers. But in the mid-’90s, Apple switched to the more stylish (and less hippie) white stickers.
Between the various Macs, iPods, AirPort base stations, wireless keyboards and OS X purchases of the last few years, I realized I currently have 11 of these white stickers sitting around. It’s not the total number I’ve ever had, since I’ve resold a number of Apple products and included the stickers in the box.
But I know I’m not one of the heaviest Apple purchasers. So the ultimate question is: How many Apple stickers do you currently have?
#1 fcodc says:Those that aren’t used yet? 23.
A couple of this I got from friends who didn’t want them.
#2 Andres says:I have 6 stickers which are only mine. But if counting all that reside in my house, that’ll be 12.
#3 Alex says:I have about 8 of them I think.
#4 Geoff says:Currently I have 20 (remember there are two to a sheet) and 4 mini stickers that came with my nanos. I have had up to 180 when my school upgraded 3 labs with 30 brand new 20″ iMacs. Sold some on eBay and gave a lot away to students as prizes.
#5 Kyle Korleski says:I have about 2. Somewhere… But I am a fairly new Mac User.
#6 taz says:I have none left
If some of you guys have spares… I’d appreciate a few…
#7 jay says:I’ve got 4. 2 from my iPod and 2 from my new macbook
#8 Dennis says:I currently have 13 (I used one, shudder), If you are ditchin’ your stickers, I’ll take em’! I always make sure the stickers are gonna get used- otherwise, when I am done setting up their system and transferring data over, I all but BEG for them…hehe.
#9 Erik says:I’ve got a half dozen or so squirreled away in various places, along with two of the old style rainbow static stickers that I haven’t yet used. It’s odd that I’ve gotten rid of so many things in various moves over the years, but those rainbow Apple stickers have stayed with me.
#10 sjmills says:They’re safely stored in my sticker box in the basement. Doing a count from memory comes out to 10 sheets (four 6-color), plus another half dozen or so from various new computers I’ve had throughout the last 12 years at my job.
Very few have been used, since I’ve only had 6 vehicles since I got my first Mac (SE), plus a few used on drum and equipment cases.
#11 chris says:check out my best ones here:

#12 Janice Lo says:I don’t remember I have got any Apple stickers from iPod! or, did I?
#13 Matt Hoult says:I have a drawer full; looks like 24 unused stickers and a couple that are a little mashed up. I never know exactly where I am supposed to put them. I mean, I can’t put them on my notebook can I? That would ruin the beauty!
#14 maze says:i have about 4
2 from ipod video and 2 from my imac
#15 Steiner says:24, 19 of which are used around certain items of the house and car. Mainly to seperate my stuff from the kids and wife’s.
#16 Honza says:2 white ones, as I’m a recent mac convert. I did attach one to my Atari monitor last week though, just to remind it who’s boss.
#17 mds says:Apple stickers? I’ve never received any stickers with my Apple hardware and software…
#18 Piotr Usewicz says:Well, only 4 here.
#19 Redlance305 says:Well, two large boxes full, figure about three hundred! Working in education, with hundreds of iMacs you collect a lot of these things. Question is, what do we do with them? Thought about giving them to students, but then we’d have to deal with parents who didn’t want them stuck on their car’s paint job.
So, right now I use them as labels for Boxes of CD as part of a cd library. At least we know the CDs are for Apples!
Anyone want some? What are they worth on eBay?
#20 Scott Gant says:I have some Apple stickers, but I think I have some of you trumped. I still have NeXT stickers!
#21 Mrad says:*Mrad bows* Well played Scott. You have my envy!
#22 Paul says:I have a few hundred. Mostly white but some rainbow. I discovered a cache of them in a filing cabinet at the all Mac school I work at. Yeehaw!
#23 Paul says:I was looking through my collection, and interestingly enough, there are many variations.
The oldest one I have is a square backer rainbow apple with the old apple computer font and darker colors. Then there are the rainbow stickers with the apple shaped backer and the old font. Next is a sheet with two smaller rainbow apples and no text. Then a square sheet with two smaller white apples. Also, rectangular backers with two white apples and the same except each apple has a little ® hanging off the lower right side, and finally a rectangular backer with one shiny apple and one matte apple. Quite an evolution!
#24 Rich says:I don’t really have much of a “collection” per se, but I like the Apple stickers because I cam promote and sway people of the wonders of Mac on the go. I’ve got one on my study folder just now, actually. Although I think the best place you can put an Apple sticker is on a guitar, like Thom Yorke from Radiohead:
#25 Rich says:Oh, it didn’t show the picture:
#26 Rich says:http://images.usatoday.com/tech/_photos/2006/08/21/radiohead472.jpg
#27 Steve says:Having an Apple sticker on your car is indeed like a secret handshake. Driving along the interstate one time, a particular car was following us for some time. When we took an exit ramp, they pulled up alongside quickly and the passenger held an iBook up to the window. You feel an instant connection when you find another Mac user in the wild, like you’ve found a friend in a sea of mindless PC dorks.
#28 ClunkClunk says:6.
Two are the current white ones (got rid of the rest), two are the older rainbow ones with the Garamond font, and two are the really old rainbow ones with the Apple II font (got them with my IIgs in 1989).
#29 joecab says:Just about all of them going back to the first rainbow one with that blocky black lettering (which I got when installing some hardware for a client — he had it and let me keep it!)
#30 Klian says:I only have two stickers from my Mac Pro and another two from an iMac G5
#31 Daniel says:I only have twenty one (rainbow and white)
#32 Grant (divigation) says:27 White (I actually used one once) and 2 Rainbow.
#33 Marla says:For years I’ve wished they’d replace stickers with window clings that would go INSIDE my car window and not cause sticker damage. finally I went and bought a sheet of it and made my own. yes, it’s a secret club and I wanna make sure I’m a member.
#34 Thomas Krajewski says:I’ve never received any stickers with my Apple hardware?? I have to Apple stickers, the “hippie” one that i got from friends.
#35 telos469 says:uh……8…..most of them are from IPODs though.
#36 Kristen says:I have six Apple stickers still on their sheets (from an iBook, Nano, and iPod). Of the bigger stickers (the Nano ones are babies), there is a colour difference between the two sheets for some reason. I also have a sticker on my car and there was one on my old car, which accounts for the stickers from my AirPort. I love the baby stickers that came with the Nano, but I don’t know where to put them. I should have another sheet somewhere as I’ve had two full-size iPods, but I don’t know where that sheet is.
#37 nepero says:I’ve lost all my stickers
#38 Jorgebob says:I have 2 sheets of the rainbow version, 5 or 6 sheets of the white ones and 3 sheets of Power Computing. My static rainbow sticker has seen service on 3 different cars. When I bought my PM 9500 years ago, I received an Apple coffee mug with the rainbow design.
#39 Jonathan says:We’ve got about 6-inches worth of stacked white stickers at work, so at least a few hundred
#40 Matthew says:One. Unfortunately, I haven’t owned a lot of Apple products. I recently came into a MacBook through a contest and it came with two. I quickly applied the much-coveted decal to my car.
I have a question for folks, though. Do the little rainbow stickers fit properly over the lighted apple in the back of a MacBook? I want to put a sticker there saying I’m a long-time Apple fan, and am thinking about purchasing one of those stickers, but I want to make sure it fits. If not, I’m gonna have to find some appropriately-colored self-adhesive plastic labels to do the job and cut them down to size myself.
#41 Randall says:If anyone is interested in selling any of their extra Apple stickers, please contact me by clicking on my name.

#46 kannu says:any , body have NeXT computer stickers , its rare to see, one ,
#47 Lori says:I’ve received/purchased two iPods now and I have never gotten a little sticker. Where are they? I haven’t gotten a sticker since I bought my SE-30 for a million dollars in 1989 or so!

#60 Matt says:I only have 8 lol
#61 Jessica says:Hey all, I am looking to purchase a set of two apple stickers that come with the ipod shuffle. I want to put them on my car along with a big one and two other little ones (that I already have) to represent my family. I had this on my previous car and just bought a new one. I would be happy to pay a reasonable amount plus shipping…
Thanks. Jessica (jsrunnels at yahoo dot com)
#62 MattM says:I have posted a picture of my car with my apple stickers in the website link for my name.
#63 Sam says:That’s cute MattM!!
#64 Nick says:I have 2 that came with my Power Mac G4, I have not used them they are still with all the paperwork. I have an iPod but it did not come with stickers. We had an Apple IIe and a IIgs when I was a kid but I do not remember if the stickers were used.
I just purchased some from http://redlightrunner.stores.yahoo.net/whitapstic.html They cost $3 each, but if you buy more they lower the price (4 for $5, 10 for $8) so it is cheaper to buy 10 stickers than it would be to buy 3.
#65 icanfly23 says:lol i only have 2 came with my ipod touch:]
#66 Tonyflaton says:I currently have 30 from purchases over the years… these include 2 mac minis, 2 imacs, 1 macbook pro, a few ipods, versions of osx tiger and leopard etc etc…
#67 Scott says:Hi guys, after a rainbow sticker to fit nicely over my macbook apple light…Anyone got a spear one to send all the way to lil old New Zealand? That would be awesome! Bigskot@hotmail.com
#68 MattM says:I used to have a rainbow apple over my powerbook G4 12″ apple logo. It looks cool when the white light shines through it. It’s not a perfect fit as you will discover but it does the job. I don’t have any more small ones left, unfortunately.
#69 Kyle says:Currently 4, I just got my new macbook and iPod Touch yesterday. I probably have a few lying around but I’m not sure where they are…
#70 Dave says:Does anyone have a spare Apple logo decal that they would be willing to give up?. I would really appreciate one. I want to put one on my back window of my SUV. My e-mail is: macman_24_7@yahoo.com
Thanks so very very, much.
#71 Shelley says:Just got my daughter an ipod touch—NO STICKERS in there or on it!! Did I throw them out???
Someone willing to sell or share one of the mini’s?
squawbaby1968@yahoo.com
#72 Nick says:I just purchased an iPhone and it came with 2 stickers. Someone above mentioned their iPod Touch came with stickers, I would go to an Apple store and ask them for stickers, they must have been mistakenly left out of the box.
My old iPod (4th Generation, non-color) did not come with any. I wonder if they were supposed to.
#73 Jade Gomez says:I am in need for some Apple logo stickers. I have some of the larger size but I am looking for the smaller ones that comes with the iPod Nano and 1st generation iPod and or iPhone. I am willing to buy them or trade mine for yours.
I am very interested in the stickers so if any one has any available, please contact me by clicking on my name.
Thanks!
#74 D says:I only have two left from my MacBook and I intend to use one of them when I have a car.
I’m already using my two little apples from my iPod.
Do you guys know if the apple store sells those little beauties?
I would love to have more
