Best Answer

The 787-9 has a maximum takeoff weight of 540,000 lbs and an empty weight of 254,000.

Which gives us a maximum useful load of 286,000 lbs. (not including fuel)

The maximum fuel load 36,396 gallons, but these things rarely fly with a full tank, so lets base our numbers on about a half a tank of gas. 18,000 gallons of jet fuel at 6.75 lbs per gallon gives us 121,500 lbs of fuel.

286,000 lbs useful load minus 121,500 lbs of fuel gives us 146,500 lbs of iPhones.

Apples site gives the weight of an iphone at 4.8 ounces. So all we have to do is divide 146,500 lbs by 4.8 ounces. One pound equals 16 ounces so 146,500 lbs is 2,344,000 ounces. 2,344,000 ounces divided by 4.8 is 488333.33333333333333333333333333...

We'll leave that 1/3rd of an iphone behind & say that the 787 can carry 488,333 iphones... 950,000 if you dont bring much fuel.
