I see that the source is unproven but if true, I’m happy for these changes. That said, I really want this phone to be much lighter. It is noticeably heavy. Let’s get rid of the stainless steel on the Pro.
I like the weight. I’m not a fan of the ultra lightweight design. It feels to fragile.
Requesting a iPhone 15 cast iron version.
c/CastIron will go wild>
“Seasoning my new iPhone 15 Pro Max CastIron 100 times”
“Guys I know the instructions say I can use any odorless cooking oil, but is there anything wrong with just buying the $89 Apple oil? I want to have a matching set”
Only if you rub it in with the Apple Seasoning Cloth.
I like how solid recent iPhones feel but I'm finding the weight of the 14 Pro is actually hurting my hand. It sounds funny but it almost feels like gravity is stronger under it lol

I still have my 6s that I sometimes use to play music from (headphone jack; what a concept!), and it’s crazy to me how much lighter it is than my 12Pro. The 6s feels like it’s floating on air.
I think that would be a regression. When I first held an iPhone 14 Pro, I was like "Wow, this is hefty, but I really like it!" and right now I daily drive a Galaxy S20FE, which is glass back and metal sides. My phone feels like cheap garbage compared to a 14 Pro.
And the S20FE was basically a mid-cycle refresh of the S20 before the S21 came out.
Isn’t the FE’s back plastic?
It... Might be? I can't honestly tell. It feels like Glass, but... My wife's has this weird peeling thing going on.
I checked, it’s plastic.
