A pilot has posted photos of a 747 filled with 195,000 iPhone devices being flown from China to the U.S.

Yep, that's what I do. I fly stuff. Privileged to be a small part of the Apple supply chain. Just landed a 747 full of iPhone 6's in Anchorage. Another crew will take the airplane on to Chicago. It'll be on the ground at O'hare about 9am Sept. 15. I gave it a little extra gas coming over the Pacific, just to get them here a little quicker. You're welcome

That one photo on the right is looking down the inside of the airplane

Apple has sold out of its iPhone 6 pre-order units. If you were able to get your order in, here's a useful trick to see if it's been shipped yet.

If they build then here, they would too slow to product the amount required, the demand for higher pay, the cost of medical bill,would sky rocket for the health of Americans are ridiculous and you might warrant a strike when they suddenly want more money and less hours. I would open here if I was making that choice.

True Apple gets owner money but when we sell we get most of it back which you can't say the same for Samsung that the price droops to nothing right after you buy it!! ( Apple devices hold their value for years ).

Lucky you, I'm trying yo sell my iphone 5s gold 16gb, and nobody wants it. I'm asking $450 so I can buy the iphone 6 plus, and everybody is telling why would they buy an iphone 5s if the iphone 6 came out. So now what? Why nobody wants to buy my old 5s gold 64gb, I paid $1,000 and because the 6 came out nobody wants it, I'm asking $800. Anybody

I'm pretty sure this pilot knows the policies. If anything the company will make a change in policy.

Am I the only one that thinks he's going to lose his job over this? Giving away location and time of shipments increases risk of theft among other issues.

Prostovank, I was just thinking the same thing... I'm not worried about crime, it just seems unprofessional. Seems to me that pilots shouldn't tweet about their cargo in general. People just don't have values anymore.
