Boy, it sure is a good thing that they only use these things against non-US citizens. Otherwise I’d be really upset.

"While CIA assets are sometimes used to physically infect systems in the custody of a target it is likely that many CIA physical access attacks have infected the targeted organization’s supply chain including by interdicting mail orders and other shipments (opening, infecting, and resending) leaving the United States or otherwise."

Get ready to be upset. See that ". . . or otherwise." According to the Wikileaks summary, the CIA intercepted the shipments of the iPhones and then remailed them. The only problem with that is the only way that could happen is for US destinations. Apple ships iPhones out of China for all worldwide destinations. Apple does not originate any iPhone shipments from the US to foreign nations. So, all of these mail orders are to US destinations. The only time an iPhone would be mailed from Apple to a customer in the US is for warranty repair.
