Amazon's drone delivery service

Amazon's drone delivery service has been approved to ship Apple products in select areas of the United States, including iPhones

on May 21, according to foreign media reports, the booming drone has been widely used in aerial photography, agriculture and other fields, and some express delivery companies are also using it for express delivery services in the suburbs to quickly deliver packages to consumers, which not only saves the cost of manpower, but also facilitates consumers.

In terms of drone delivery, e-commerce giant Amazon launched the Prime Air drone delivery service in the United States in 2022, delivering packages to consumers' backyards or other designated locations in some areas of the United States, with a flight distance of less than an hour, and the items delivered are individual items that require a weight of no more than 5 pounds (2.27 kilograms).

Judging from the latest reports from foreign media, more than two years after its launch, Amazon's Prime Air drone delivery service has    been approved to increase some of the products that can be shipped.

Foreign media said in reports that the Federal Aviation Administration approved Amazon to add shippable product categories, including iPhone, AirPods, AirTags and other Apple products.

However, foreign media also mentioned in the report that although Amazon's drone delivery service has been approved to deliver Apple's products, the scope of delivery is still very limited, only in parts of Phoenix, Arizona and University City, Texas.

In addition, Amazon's drone delivery service currently has restrictions in terms of delivery time, which is only during the day, and there are also weather requirements, and delivery services can only be provided in favorable weather conditions.
