In theory a 747 can hold a little over 150 tons. So 7 coming into the US would probably be around 3 million iPhones with the packages weighing around .4lbs

.4 kilos (1 pound).

.4 kilos (1 pound).

Yep, never mind. Read that with my American eyes. lol

So a little less than half that number.

We’ll see if we all start getting scans soon. ::fingers crossed:: Hopefully my theory is right for all our sanity lol

I have my own theory after checking Flightradar24! The great iPhone X airlift May begin Wednesday 11/1 in Zhengzhou. Look at all the freighter flights from ZZ to Shenzhen and even a big boy to Shanghai! Bang bang bang right after each other! Look for these flight times to on departure scans and check Shenzhen and Shanghai for departing UPS flights within ~2-3 hours of their arrivals. Sorry I’ve gone full AppleAvNerd all up in here lol. They could be in the states too but I doubt it cause logistics can move quick!

 

[Juanefny]

Doubt ups would have shown no tracking all the way from Asia to anc and now off to Louisville. I think in about five hours we’ll see movement based on the past history I saw.

Hey I’m just trying ease the minds of the thread. But this definitely seems logical too.

Time converting is confusing what time should we check for departure scans EST (USA TIME) Tomorrow?

I agree, this is my 8 Plus tracking, made first real movement Tuesday, delivery Friday. Different origin as different factories, but timing should be similar.

That’s why I use Flightradar24 in conjunction with FlightAware and a suite of avgeek apps!
[doublepost=1509423102][/doublepost]Here’s the flight now! I had to crop the screenshots they were too Big for some reason

One of us! One of us!

I have 2 phones tracking - both of them match the above identically. Will check them again in the AM.

Man if true mentioned above, can you imagine a picture of a 747 with a MILLION phones loaded on it? I just want to see what that looks like - pallets and all.

There was a pic from a UPS pilot last year or year before with all the pallets of iPhones. I’ll see if I can dig it up for you

Departed ICN @12:48pm/11:48PMEST (wheels up) and arrives 1:44PM CGO time/1:44am East coast time.

It was pretty cool to see all those phones being loaded up.

Also it's difficult to believe it was 3 years ago. Yikes.

Here is the current approx location of that UPS flight in question (UPS 174, ICN -> CGO)
