600,000 iPhones equals...

How about you log off of MR and go outside and get some fresh air? Go talk to "real" people

How about you chill? We're having fun here. Besides, you're in here too, aren't you? Ok.

How many of these wide body fedex planes will it take?

How many of these wide body fedex planes will it take to move 600,000 phones?

I herd there is an iOS4 exclusive app that can solve all these damn math problems for me.

600000 iphones also beefs up Apples cash reserves somewhere into the hundreds of millions range...

 

[goobot]

Correct. Which is why the same number of iPhone boxes is a smaller multiple of the depth of the Mariana Trench than the height of Mt Everest.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

if you stack the iphone box from end to end, how close to the moon will it get?

Reminds me of all the factory shows on Discovery Channel and Food Network.

"When stacked end-to-end, we make enough Pringles in one day to stretch to the moon and back 17 times!"

If you stack all of the "white iPhone" related threads together they will reach the galactic barrier.

Just over one. I've been trying to find volume capacity for cargo aircraft, but it seems like weight capacity is what is usually used. In any case, an Airbus A330 holds 475 m^3, but those are a little larger than the planes FedEx usually uses, so...approximately 1.3?

If you stack all of the "white iPhone" related threads together they will reach the galactic barrier.

Considering all those threads probably take up a maximum of 1MB on a hard drive somewhere...if you stacked all those magnetic dots end to end, they might measure 1mm.

Ha ha, this thread is way great!

How many does it take for everybody who wanted one to actually get one?

[darngooddesign]

Whoa! Nice numbers!
How many iPhone boxes would it take to cover a direct path from the AT&T warehouse to my front door in Manhattan?

Well, its ATT so you'll have no signal at either locations and dropped calls while in route.

Assuming a profit margin of 50% and an average selling price of $299, Apple's profit was 89.7 million dollars!

Apple sells these for an average of $650 each (assuming 16/32GB versions are split 50/50). At a 50% margin, the profit would be $195 million.
