I just upgraded from the 13 pro max to the 14 pro max and the weight difference is really noticeable. It’s day 2 and I find the 14 to be uncomfortably heavy.
I’m sure like everything in life, I’ll get used to it but I wonder if other people who upgraded are feeling the same?
Edit: To correct that I updated from a 13 Pro Max
13 pro max which was fine.
Did you “upgrade” to a different color? Maybe that’s what made the difference in weight.
Yes. Thank you. Just edited my post. It really really feels uncomfortably heavier.
Edit: just weighed my son’s 13 pro max and my 14 on a kitchen scale and they were within 2 grams of each other. So not sure why it feels heavier.
Weight 13 Pro Max Vs 14 Pro Max
Apple says the weight of the 13PM is 8.46 ounces (240 grams) and 14PM is 8.47 ounces (240 grams)… 🤔
It may feel a bit heavy in the first couple of days, but you’ll get used to it. I upgraded of the iPhone 6; the 14 Pro Max is, needless to say, noticeably heavier and bigger. I’ve been using it for 2 weeks now and I must say I find the experience to be quite smooth and nothing too uncomfortable.
Are you using a case? If so is it the same kind you used on the 13PM?
I know. Just weighed them both on a kitchen scale to confirm. Perhaps it’s the balance of it with the new camera module?
Yep and just weighed them both on my kitchen scale and they are a gram apart.
I’m thinking that maybe it has something to do with the weight of the new camera module and this the way it feels in my hands.
Yes. Different color. This is the new black (whatever they call it ) and my 13 was the blue. But weighed them and they are the same weight. I’m thinking it’s the balance of the weight with the new camera module but honestly don’t know
Could be the camera module making it slightly more top heavy or it’s all in your head lol.
You’re really complaining over a gram 🤣😂
That my friend is true! Guess I have to up the weights with my personal trainer.
Happens to us all.
Went from the SE2 to the 14P... I definitely noticed a big weight change lol.
Not gonna lie, I hated it at first. I was very comfortable with using my thumb to reach everything on the screen so easily and it was so light. This was a huge jump for me that I'm still getting used to. It feels like I'm carrying a brick in my hand and feels big in the pockets. But, like you said, I'm getting used to it very quickly and I really appreciate the beauty of the phone.
I would love there to be an iPhone 1X Pro Mini, but one can only dream... or work their way to the top of Apple and make this a reality.
I’m thinking it’s because you read about people bitching about it online and have placebo’d it into your own perception.
I had t read about it but definitely could be my imagination. I think more likely there is a weight balance difference with the new camera module that makes it feel too heavy

Which phone did you upgrade from? Your text is confusing. I went from the 12 Promax to the 14 Pro because of the weight. The additional battery life wasn’t a concern for me. My issue is muscle memory as I know have to adapt to a smaller keyboard.
