Amazon expanded its drone delivery service to cover an additional 3,500 square miles, bringing the new footprint into the area of a recent AppleInsider staffer’s home. The staffer ordered a lightweight item, and the drone delivered it within about 10 minutes of the estimated time, dropping the package onto the front yard with minor rolling. The delivery took roughly 75 minutes from order to arrival, incurred no extra cost, and used a shoebox‑sized package under five pounds. The test demonstrated the service’s speed, accuracy, and packaging requirements.
