Er, no...
Boeing 747-8 cargo capacity = 134 tonne
Boxed iPhone 5s =360g
So, roughly 372,000 phones per flight. Probably a little fewer, though, allowing for bulk packaging.
*edit* If it's an MD11, that's a cargo capacity of 90 tonne, so roughly 250,000 iPhones per flight.
By the time we get our iPhones, we'll have enough expertise to apply UPS as logistics specialists
They haven't changed on the Apple order tracking. Check with your tracking number on the UPS website.

This is taking planespotting to a new level!
If the plane gets hijacked by scalpers or something the feds are gonna question you first
Oh cheers, that's a nice surprise. Is anyone else here waiting on a silver/white model?
As a theoretical best case scenario yes but once you add outer packaging, pallets, wraps, max stacking height etc you won't quite get to those numbers.
Still impressive numbers though.

There was a UPS cargo plane that crashed just after take-off from Dubai a few years ago, can you imagine the response on MR if that happened now, the human tragedy apart.They haven't changed on the Apple order tracking. Check with your tracking number on the UPS website.

Actually, the passenger A380 only has cargo space of 184 m3 (6,500 cu ft) or 13 pallets, versus 597 m3 (21,096 cu ft) or 26 pallets on the main deck in the MD-11F freighter!
(They haven't started building the A380 freighter yet... THAT will be enormous!)

Given that each store probably only got 100 units each delivery last week and there are 37 stores. So 3700 units each time. This would be a massive influx of deliveries assuming there not just all for online orders.
So given that there was a 1 day delay between preparing for despatch and actual despatch for those lucky enough to have theirs already shipped, I guess the rest of us have missed the window. There have been no changes today, so even if our orders go to preparing to dispatch tomorrow, there's no chance of them leaving China until Friday at the earliest.

Would hate to have to do the loadsheets for that at work.
Literally would be shaking if it had my iPhone on it
Haha

What type of pallet BTW?
Ours take 10 standard PAG/PMC units or 34 AKE units

It's impossible to say because as a big customer currently launching their new product, who knows what arrangement Apple has with UPS.
No they weren't. You can only start tracking once your package has dispatched. Even then you normally have to wait a bit until the package is scanned into the couriers system.
No it doesn't. Mine is preparing for dispatch and I have no tracking information.
UPS23 is showing on flightradar24 again, just about to cross from Romania to Hungary.

As a guesstimate, I'd say about 2 hours. There's another UPS plane (5X15) I'd guess about 40 mins ahead and thats currently saying it will arrive in Cologne in about 1 hour 20m to land.
Is anyone else on flightradar24 not getting the Dubai -> Cologne info on the tracking, or is this just me?
I'm with you, changed to preping some time Saturday so hopefully we will be in the same flight, and possibly we could see orders appearing on UPS website today as I'm pretty sure UPS and Foxconn are still working on Sunday. Fingers crossed! Oh, what time did you get your confirmation e-mail? I got mine 0:16
I got mine a few minutes before you at 0:12!
I can't see the route info for UPS23 either (it shows up for other planes I click on).
Has anyone found a website that shows cargo arrivals/departures for Cologne?
