The reduction in weight is a major feature - my iPhone 14 Pro routinely strains my hand.


When the 14 Pro came out I bought one day 1 to replace my 12 mini.

I figured the size would be an issue, and I definitely didn't like it as much as the 12 mini. But the worst part I didn't even foresee was the weight. It was SUPER uncomfortable to use one-handed, I was constantly terrified it would fall out of my hand. I ended up returning it and buying a 13 mini.

The switch to titanium is a good move. Even barring the weight, while the stainless steel is certainly eye-catching and looks great out of the box, as soon as you use the thing it's covered in smudges, and infamously is prone to getting covered in scratches over time.


iPhone 14 Pro weight: 206g

iPhone 15 Pro weight: 188g

8.7%


For what it’s worth, the 11 Pro was also 188g
