If it contains lithium batteries, those must typically be shipped by ground transport. This might be what this is about.

Wrong. How do you think iPhones get here from China?  

Lithium batteries that are part of electronics equipment are permitted on aircraft.

You are not entirely correct because there are very strict requirements that must be met to transport items with lithium ion batteries, especially as a shipment.  And he is correct, typically within the United States, items with Lithium Ion batteries are shipped by Ground.

Apparently it seems people here don't understand the very strict requirements to ship products with Lithium Ion batteries, especially by Air:

Shipping lithium batteries by air is the most complicated of all forms of transit, due to the increased risk (i.e. and aircraft accidents caused by fire are likely to be fatal). With damaged batteries being blamed for aircraft crashes in the past, the shipping of damaged or defective batteries is strictly forbidden.

When transporting lithium-ion batteries via air, the Dangerous Good Regulations (DGR) must be reviewed and met. These regulations are governed by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

If the item is being returned to Apple, then they clearly failed in the proper labeling of the packaging to be safe for shipping by Air.

Love that the cheap material holding the two sides together fails after about 200 'folds'.  This has to be the biggest joke of a product Apple has ever made, and talk about overpriced!  You can charge faster with the $19 USB-C charger and your included cable, and carry less with you while traveling to charge your devices!

Can a MagSafe iPhone be simply and quickly removed without flipping the charger around? In other words, is the charger heavy enough that the user doesn’t need to take care when removing their phone or does the charger need to be affixed to the nightstand?

Other review videos confirmed that you must use two hands or multiple fingers to get the phone off the magnet or you will take that entire charger with you if you pick up the phone, and likely your watch will fly across the room if you do it.

For $19, you can buy Apple's USB-C charger and charge your phone at the full 20W with the lightning cable.  For $129 + $49, you can charge at only 14W.  For $129 + $19, you can charge at a measly 11w.  This being a product that requires two hands to get your phone off the magnet without causing your watch to fly across the room.  And a product so cheaply made, only the cheap plastic material holds the two sides together.  Who would fall for this?  Talk about getting ripped off.
