There's more control that way. Believe it or not there's still quite a bit of theft and piracy plaguing the maritime industry. The iPhone is a very prized target and it doesn't take much to pay the right folks (loading dock workers at the factory) to get intel on container numbers, etc.</p> I know, but for product launches in electronics it's typical for the importer to charter 747's.

While they might be able to get away with not describing the product but Apple still has to make entry with US Customs using an Harmonized Tariff Code so that they can pay import duties. The code will describe the commodity even in general terms (aka cellular phone). Finally, it's rare to hear about containers of cell phones. Generally, electronics are shipped via air rather than vessel. While it may be true that the phones are here I'd need more information that what's in this report.</p> That's not a very good report.
