231 million iPhones were sold in 2023. They weigh about 6 ounces but round up to 10 to account for packaging. Assume that 10% of those were sold at launch. That's 719 tons or 13 767-300 jets.

Obviously the vast majority are shipped by sea, but to handle the initial wave, they ship air.

Edit: obviously, most of those phones aren't going to the US, but it's still at least a few planes full.
