"The 777s can carry about 450,000 iPhones and cost about $242,000 to charter, with fuel accounting for more than half the expense." I am often as or more impressed by making it all happen as I am a final products. www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-09-11/the-iphone-s-secret-flights-from-china-to-your-local-apple-store.htmlOn a personal note I need to replace one computer and my daughter has my spare phone activated so I have to hope for no failures and the insult of buying the old goods before the new phones, OS releases and new computers are all in stock. I might not be able to wait with my wife's laptop about dead, the computer at my desk out of space, same for my server.

Other companies besides Apple need to deliver 'security' goods worldwide. I'm surprised Apple is doing this. Isn't there a business-savvy Chinese entrepreneur who has set up a contract firm that can do this for everyone in the area yet?
For your own home: isn't Lavabit having a garage sale? Should be able to get lots of computer equipment there, minus the hard drives of course!

Maybe that fuel cost is one reason Motorola has chosen to build the X in the US?
