  How many iPhones fit in a "Plane Load"?

  That's a lot of bandwidth.

  >> Apple flew five cargo planes of iPhones and other products from India and China to the US in late March to avoid paying President Trump’s baseline 10% tariff that took effect on April 5

  They shipped more phones than they would have because they knew the tariffs were coming. Nothing exciting like Apple smuggling in their own iPhones

  Surely this is illegal?
