This depends on if Apple was actually constrained by the weight of the flight or if they were constrained by the available space of the bays on the UPS plane[0]. I can’t really find a weight measurement of the iPhone X box, though (and I assume the boxes are shipped to the US packed together, and some inventory center in the US places them in the final protected packaging).

- judge2020 5y agoWell, that's what i'm questioning - was it actually reaching max takeoff weight? Given the size of these cargo planes, if the one with the most capacity (which is likely for fulfilling launch week Apple shipments) were filled entirely with iPhones corner to corner within the available bays of the aircraft, would it really reach max weight?
