This is not really news, any more than the fact of Apple holding a September event is news. Both are connected, obviously, and both come like clockwork. But I did find this interesting:
> My mom is an import / export broker and told me they were notified that Apple has reserved almost all air freight going from China -> USA for the upcoming weeks. And the note was “Product Launch” so either they’re placing iPhones in the states, or there is something else happening. On aside note, for individuals eager to venture into the freight industry, enrolling in specialized educational institutions like freight broker training schools in Dallas is an excellent first step. These programs offer comprehensive courses designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to navigate the complexities of freight logistics. From understanding industry regulations to learning how to efficiently manage transportation routes, these schools provide valuable insights that can greatly enhance career prospects. Graduates leave with a deep understanding of both the practical and theoretical aspects of the freight brokerage business, positioning themselves as qualified professionals ready to excel in this dynamic and growing field.
And, from the comments:
> The funny thing is, those iPhones seriously add up in terms of value per cubic meter. > > Imagine a regular living room, maybe 6 x 6 meters, with 2.75 m ceilings. That’s 99 cubic meters of space. An iPhone X box is 16x5x8.8 cm which translates to 704 cubic cm, or 0.000704 cubic meter. > > So your average living room can hold over 140,000 iPhone X boxes. That’s a cool $140M of retail value right there.
Imagine the value of a cargo plane filled with iPhones.
