Always interesting to see the companies that own their infrastructure decisions during an #AWS #outage, vs those that simply point the finger and blame at AWS in their own outage messaging. You didn't have to pick AWS. You could have used 2+ cloud vendors. You could have hosted your own servers...

So #apple scrambled to move #iPhone inventory from India to the US ahead of the #tariff onslaught. Media reported 6 such flights occurred. OK, so how many iPhones? We could get nerdy here, but let's just ask #Gemini 2.5 Pro. AI reasoned 1.35M phones... and other news sources confirm 1.5M phones! 🤯

Gemini prompt: How many iPhones can be transported in a 777F cargo aircraft?

Assume devices are in final retail packaging. Assume cargo is properly palletized and secured.

How many devices could be carried on 6 such cargo aircraft?Gemini conclusion: Summary:

A single Boeing 777F can carry approximately 224,000 iPhones, limited primarily by weight.

Six Boeing 777F aircraft could carry approximately 1,347,000 iPhones (rounded).
