The worst is every 90 days when I get a new G6 transmitter. It comes in a box the size of Two video tapes stacked on top of each other. I've tried reaching out to my mail-order pharmacy about it since I know there are smaller versions of it (or used to be), but nothing yet.
From what I've seen, the packaging for Dexcom G7 and it's applicator seems much smaller than G6's.
Side note: That applicator for G4 instilled fear every time I had to use it and I was already 20 years into T1D by then. The spring loaded applicators in G6/G7 are a big improvement as far as end user experience IMO :-)
