UPS doesn’t take pictures that is Amazon. There’s idiots everywhere but a UPS driver is 1000 times less likely to steal than an Amazon driver because of the difference in pay and benefits. Amazon driving is a bullshit medium tier dead end job and UPS driving is a high end middle class career.
Like someone else said tho UPS requires signatures for Apple. Doesn’t stop warehouse people from stealing but it’s also possible the box ripped and the phone got lost. I’d personally not tape an empty box but I’ve taped a lot of ripped boxes as long as the contents look intact. The conveyor belts are no joke. Someone I worked with had their arm pulled off. Imagine what they do to boxes.
It is worth filing a claim and mentioning it to UPS though. They do take theft seriously and investigate it if it’s possible.

FYI Fedex takes pictures now of high value items since no one wants signatures anymore due to covid.

Thank you for your comment! I would like to say, I don’t think I worded my original post well about which box was which.
It was the white iPhone container box (you know how they come in new white boxes with a picture of the phone on the front) was empty. It was still inside a brown shipping box. So someone opened my shipping box, grabbed the white iPhone box out, opened it and removed the phone, then put the iPhone box back in the shipping box.
I had grabbed the iPhone box, from the top of the brown shipping package, and ran to the phone store with it, and opened it there in front of the associate, where we found it was empty, so clearly deliberately stolen.
