Photos From Inside a 747 Flying iPhone 6 Units to the U.S.

[TonyC28]

You act like the guy uncovered them and was showing a box of the iPhone 6. He did no wrong.

I'm not saying he should be fired. Just that companies fire people for lame stuff and I could see that happening here.

Man, that plane is packed!!

I don't think so. They could've packed at least another 20 phones on there. Now what are those 20 people going to do? They'll have to wait another day before they get their phone!!

The fact that you are an old time reader does not entitle you to a chair on the editorial board - or whatever MR has.

Of course it does.

The writers write what they want.
The publishers publish what they want.
The readers read what they want.

Right. I don't recall saying that they had no right to do what they wished. Merely that this is a new low. Am I not entitled to my own opinion, same as you?

Don't cross the lines.

"Don't cross the lines"? What does that even mean?

Hey, Tim's in the plane too!

 

[BruiserB]

I hope they were all turned off or in airplane mode for takeoff!

 

[KdParker]

isn't this a bit of a security risk posting this with pics and times?

That is what I thought.

I wonder if he got permission to send out these photos.

Rofl oh my God that made me jump. And then burst out laughing.

 

[cRizz]

Surprised they don't have armed security watching over them.

Who do you think shot the photo

 

[macs4nw]

Holy ship! The words Millions and Billions have lost a lot of their impact lately until you see these images. Wow!

Iphone 6 plus order

I pre-ordred mine though AT&T was told in store 7-21 business days. Got a email saying your estimated dates are 11/09/14-11/27/14 anyone else get this? Hope i'm not the only one.....

This isn't news, and it isn't a rumor. We know the iPhone 6 is shipping. We know it's coming. A picture of cargo that could be, for all we know, twenty-five tons of fish, really isn't very exciting.

As someone who's frequented Mac rumor sites for over 12 years, this is probably the worst I've ever seen.

What interest do you honestly get out of this?

Watching people like you get upset over it

 

[BCWorld]

They better have my iphone 6+ on that damn plane!

It's a FAN site . Fans of Apple visit this site . You're exaggerating if you say this is the worst you've seen . When have we ever gotten a look at the cargo inside/off of the plans ? Never .

It IS interesting and there are people who obviously don't mind seeing this post .

Again, you know what I do when I don't like an article ? I keep it moving . I don't post on the article and I don't read the article . Simple .

Not everyone likes/dislikes the same things you do ...

Some of the posters on here have a stick up their @$$ (looking at you gpat/MacSince1990).

The pilot is excited to be a small cog in the machine and is sharing pictures. I'd rather have MR post this than nothing at all.

 

[KdParker]

ok...now back to tracking our orders

 

[Carlanga]

that last photo shows more leg room than flying american

 

[newyorksole]

So at what point do they put my account information onto the iPhone? It amazes me whenever I get my new iPhone that it's preloaded with my info.

You're kidding right ?

 

[Tumbleweed666]

Yeh because anyone with a time machine can head back and steal them.

 

[Thunderhawks]

Cool to see, but I hope that photo doesn't come back to bite that guy. I imagine most cargo carriers want to keep their customers and customers' cargo confidential. As someone with a basic knowledge of the air freight industry, I can narrow his employer down to one of 3-4 companies (or perhaps less) just knowing the ANC-ORD routing and the fact it was a 747.

That dude is TOAST. as in fired!

 

[gnasher729]

Surprised they don't have armed security watching over them.

These phones have a retail value of let's say $120 million. However, if Apple has their serial numbers and can kill them all (which I assume they can), they cannot be resold, so the damage of theft to Apple would be just the cost of replacing them, plus loss of earnings due to the delay. So a lot less than $120 million. Still a lot of money. Maybe there are guards around the airport, and you don't need to guard one specific airplane?

 

[iBlazed]

Can't wait to see my status on Apple.com change to "Shipped"

 

[jmkinny]

This is awesome... Love stuff like this.

Mine is not on there, as I haven't ordered yet. Need to wait til Sep 26th... Very excited for those that these are going to...

 

[HarryKeogh]

You're kidding right ?

So you're trying to tell me that one pilot programs all those phones?

 

[chrono1081]

isn't this a bit of a security risk posting this with pics and times?

No you can find times of all flights right on the internet.

 

[JAT]

Getting people excited over supply chain delivery pics?

Only Apple can do this...

I give you:

And their product was vaporware for over 6 years. I think there are pic threads, too.
