Amazon Prime Air’s Drones Are Actually Now Delivering iPhones and AirTags to People – Here’s How It Works

Amazon Prime Air now delivers over 60,000 items, including iPhones and AirTags, by drone within eligible areas in Texas and Arizona.
This service expanded after FAA approval last year allowed Amazon to operate MK30 drones beyond visual line of sight and handle devices with lithium-ion batteries.
Deliveries typically occur within 60 minutes, rely on automated drone navigation, and customers select a drop-off location during checkout without needing physical markers.
Amazon restricts drone deliveries in heavy winds or unsuitable weather and uses a 75-minute forward-looking weather predictor to ensure safe flights.
Although still in its early stages and limited in scale, Prime Air’s drone delivery represents an important milestone toward Amazon’s ambition to complete half a billion drone-based deliveries worldwide by 2030.
