Weight vs Size Comparison
Interestingly, weight doesn't always correlate with screen size. Larger phones aren't always heavier:
Example: iPhone 15 Plus (6.7" screen, 201g) is actually lighter than iPhone 15 Pro (6.1" screen, 187g). This is because the Plus model uses aluminum, while Pro models use titanium and have larger camera systems.
Why Material Matters
- Aluminum: Lighter, used in standard and Plus models (10-20g lighter)
- Stainless Steel: Heavier, used in older Pro models (adds ~15g)
- Titanium: Lighter than stainless steel, used in modern Pro models
