Tracking your iPhone every step of the way with flightaware

Still no tracking info available on UPS or Fed Ex

Yeah, me either.

Yeah, me either.

I found mine now by using the phone # that is on my itunes account. Its and old cell number I don't even have anymore.

I was curious, so I did some back-of-the-envelope calculations. It seems a Boeing 777F can hold about 37 pallets. That works out to about 253,000 iPhones in boxes, total, per flight, based on box size measurements for a previous model. That many iPhones should still be under the weight limit, as well.

So if you figure Apple wants to have 3 or 4 million in-place on launch day, that's 16 flights. Seems very reasonable.

Think about it: Your Iphone5 has flown more miles than most people ordering them

Two million miler on Delta, million miler on Jal. I don't think so

Well check this out:

Looks like a FedEx flight just departed not too long ago from Memphis enroute to Anchorage, Alaska... I wonder why? Probably to get those iPhones lol.

FDX23
FedEx #23 flight.

I ordered my 16GB White phone at about 3:05 EDT. Apple shows it Preparing for Shipment, but UPS tells "the rrrrrest of the story":

Location Date Local Time Activity
Addison, IL, United States 09/16/2012 5:24 P.M. Origin Scan
United States 09/16/2012 8:04 P.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS

No trans-Pacific flight tracking for me. Friday will be a long day. My iPad3 wasn't delivered by UPS until after 5 pm!

Oddly, the Apple status shows the shipping method as "Holiday Shipping". Does anyone else's say that?

Has anyone reported a Fedex tracking number yet? I have only seen UPS. That will be an empty fedex plane at this rate.

Two million miler on Delta, million miler on Jal. I don't think so

You fly a litte more than me!

I only have 150k on delta and like 75k on American

You want to donate me Gold status on delta?

I've been keeping up on mine and I've found the flight it's likely on from Hong Kong to Anchorage. Should get there at 1pm local time today (4pm Central).

My phone scanned at 9:34pm this flight took off 10 mins later. I'm guessing my phone is here.

There a few others with same tracking as myself. Might not be on that plane.
