Track Live: UPS Jumbo Jets Loaded With iPhone 16s Head To America

Apple is shipping iPhone 16s to America via UPS jumbo jets ahead of the Friday launch to meet preorder demand. FlightAware allows users to track the flights carrying their iPhones. The jets are departing from China and arriving in Anchorage, Alaska, and Louisville, Kentucky. Apple's reliance on air freight raises sustainability concerns. FlightAware's tracking map shows UPS jets loaded with iPhones taking off from Shenzhen and Hong Kong airports. Despite reports of weak demand for expensive iPhone 16 models, Apple is using air freight for rapid delivery. The use of jumbo jets for shipping iPhones highlights Apple's prioritization of speed over environmental considerations.
