The camera size is already huge in iPhone 14 Pro that it doesn’t sit well on MagSafe Duo Charger wishing that they figured out a way to at least keep the size to how it currently is but it looks like there’s no getting around it. It looks like it’s gonna be bigger than 45mm Apple Watch at this point.

I'm okay with a thicker phone but I'd be much happier with a new Mini - MagSafe, thick or whatever. The next phone possibly be the last phone I buy before I leap to an Apple Vision Air.
I have to say, I've never found the top of the phone "heavy", even when I had a gimbal. Started with an 8GB iPhone, then a 3GS, 5, 7, 11. Had car holders (first bouncing on windscreen and then clipped to an air vent) so I can see why MagSafe is cool - but it's not essential. It's just more convenient.
I sometimes think we all suffer from this pick-and-choose-itis, as if there's obviously some magical combination to this piece and that piece and a quick juggle of compromises, to get to a phone people can afford and use for many, many years. I still have a working original iPhone in its box, and the 7 is in a drawer along with the wife's 5s in case our 11s fail (so far, not). I think the choices they've made have overall been good but also I trust them not to obliterate MagSafe without a plan. They want you to be satisfied enough that your current phone will never just be tossed.
