Apple doesn't do seafreight. at least not for its final products.

  They clearly do a lot of air freight for products in high demand (I've had plenty of iStuff that included tracking information starting in Shenzhen or Shanghai), but I'd have expected them to switch over to ships to stock their stores once production ramps up and demand ramps down. Do you have more info on this?

    No detailed quote or link but : - it makes a lot more sense to ship by Air for product with such value per kg - Apple has been shipping products by Air since 1997(famously they booked the entire capacity for the holiday season) - Apple brags about how little inventory they keep all the time. Sea Freight is slow, very slow.
