From a friend I have at Apple, they ship new iPhones in planes for every new release to deal with the order surge. Plane cabins stacked floor to ceiling with phones. An insane quantity of phones.
Boeing 767-300 Freighter can hold a maximum payload of approximately 52.7 tons (116,200 pounds). It has a total cargo volume of about 15,469 cubic feet. That's a lot of iPhones.
Well an average smaller Apple Store has about $1.6 million dollars of just iPhones in inventory on a launch day and that’s just maybe 15-20 cubic feet densely packed.
Oh wait my hasty math was bad on the volume, closer to 150-200 cubic feet, allowing for the fact they are shipped in plastic totes that reduce the packing density.
