Agreed, on all counts. I'm not associated with BitBox, I just remembered they had already posted their take on airgap and figured I'd share with you. Let's see what they have to tell you later on this too! Cheers.

I could be wrong but I believe they retain such information data for ~30 days after order has been placed should there be any issues with shipping, to have it at hand and troubleshoot with carriers if necessary. After that, it gets encrypted and stored safely for however long the national laws in Switzerland specify. That's my understanding, not associated with BitBox myself, just vague recollections from similar questions (and answers.)

Correct. Nova has the new isolated bluetooth chip that makes it work with iOS and iPad, as Apple is restrictive of the gadgets you can physically connect to your phone or tablet and work with, bluetooth via the whisper implementation was the way, so you'd need a Nova to have it working on Apple products. No compromises as the new bluetooth chip is isolated from the secure element and double-chip set up within the BitBox02. Find out more on this here.

It is. They come in vacuum sealed, tamper-proof like transparent plastic bags, you'd know 100% if it's been ripped apart or looks different from original, as it has some watermarked logos across and well, it's vacuum sealed, if you open it somehow in transit, recipient will be able to tell, unless scammer comes up with a replica and repacks. Visit their threat model section on site, click on Supply chain attacks in the table of contents. Further information on there!
