I\u2019ll guide you through feeling where to put your hands, what to listen for, and how to get to the phone inside safely.\n\n---\n\n### What you should do first\n\n1. **Feel the box orientation**  \n   - The iPhone box is a rectangular, rigid box with a lid.  \n   - One half is slightly deeper than the other\u2014this is the **bottom** that holds the phone.  \n   - The lid (top) is shallower and fits over the bottom.\n\n2. **Identify where the seal or \u201cfilm\u201d is**  \n   - Most new iPhone boxes have a **paper or thin plastic seal** around them to keep the lid closed.  \n   - Using your fingers, run around all sides of the box to locate where there is a tight sticker, or a film\u2014often at the back or one side near the seam of lid and bottom.\n\n---\n\n### Opening the seal\n\n1. **Get the seal with your fingernail**  \n   - Once you feel the strip or sticker, slide your fingernail under one side of it if possible.  \n   - If there is a pull tab, touch and lift it\u2014these are designed to help.\n\n2. **Peel the seal away**  \n   - Slowly peel off the seal. You should hear a tearing or peeling sound.  \n   - Take your time\u2014if the seal is paper, it will tear; plastic is stretchier.\n\n---\n\n### Removing the lid\n\n1. **Find the seam between lid and bottom**  \n   - Once seal removed, feel for the join where the top and bottom halves meet.  \n   - On one side, the lid edge may overlap slightly\u2014feel around for a lip.\n\n2. **Lift the lid gently**  \n   - Place one hand on the bottom piece to anchor it.  \n   - With the other hand, grip that seam and slowly lift the lid up.  \n   - You should hear a quiet suction or soft air movement\u2014it\u2019s designed to fit very snugly.
