If it is heavier because they made it stronger, then it is a good thing. Apple sometimes goes too far making devices that are too thin and light (bending issues).

So let’s see if the device is more durable.

I am a big dude with big hands. I can handle it. Lol. Seriously tho, i am glad that the iphone 11s are a tad thicker & heavier if it means better battery life.

Same here. I like a little heft anyway. I thought I’d would have move to Android and got a Samsung Galaxy Note 10 plus. Great phone. But the phone is aluminum and very thin, and light weight despite its size. But the phone felt a little cheap to me in the build quality. Not bad by any means but just not as high end as I was expecting. Owned that phone for a week and had to return it. The stylus just felt like it was going to snap at any time. I’m just staying with the iPhone.

So I have a space gray Pro Max coming and I know it’s going to have heft but I have zero issues with that at all.

Not expecting it to be a problem. Yeah, the Max is a pretty big phone, but those extra dimensions aren't going to change how it works or carries for me.
