Following the introduction of the iPhone 14, Apple has released the official specifications of all models in the series, confirming that the iPhone 14 Pro Max is the heaviest smartphone in the history of this series.
iPhone 14 Plus sells worse than iPhone 13 mini
The 240 gram weight of the device seemed very heavy to users who criticized it on social media. Considering the protective glass and rugged casing, the iPhone 14 Pro Max could be the heaviest flagship smartphone on the market. It is worth adding that the iPhone 13 Pro Max weighs 238 grams and that this device was also criticized by some users.
Compact and not portable
Many users say that with this weight, the iPhone 14 Pro Max is gradually moving away from the essence of the ‘mobile phone’, the most important feature of which is compactness. Because, according to users, one of the most important things in smartphones is portability. Here are the user reviews about the huge weight of the iPhone 14 Pro Max:
- “The almost half-pound smartphone clearly has a weight issue.”
- “Really too much.”
- “I just miss the old lightweight iPhones.”
- “Imagine having to carry and lift a brick like this all day.”
- “It’s uncomfortable to use a smartphone like this today.”
- “I hope the iPhone 15 gets lighter.”
- “I thought the iPhone 14 Pro Max would be lighter, I hate heavy phones.”
On the other hand, compromising compactness, we can say that the manufacturer has managed to achieve a significant improvement in photographic capabilities, performance and battery life.
The lightest smartphones in Apple’s history are the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S. Their weight is only 112 grams. The weights of last year’s series were as follows:
- iPhone 13 – 173 grams
- iPhone 13 mini – 140 grams
- iPhone 13 Pro – 203 grams
- iPhone 13 Pro Max – 238 grams
