iPhone 16 Pro Models Weigh Slightly More Than iPhone 15 Pro Models

[MacRumors]

The new iPhone 16 Pro models are slightly heavier compared to the iPhone 15 Pro models, according to Apple's tech specs for the devices.

Here are the listed weights for all of the devices:

• iPhone 15 Pro: 6.60 ounces (187 grams)
• iPhone 15 Pro Max: 7.81 ounces (221 grams)
• iPhone 16 Pro: 7.03 ounces (199 grams)
• iPhone 16 Pro Max: 7.99 ounces (227 grams)

This means the iPhone 16 Pro is 6% heavier than the iPhone 15 Pro, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max is 2.5% heavier than the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

These increases mean that iPhone 16 Pro models are now nearly as heavily as iPhone 14 Pro models, but the titanium frame on iPhone 16 Pro models should still make the devices feel lighter in the hand if you are upgrading from an iPhone 14 Pro model. If you are upgrading from an iPhone 15 Pro model, expect a bit heavier device.

The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are equipped with 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch displays, respectively, which are larger than the 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch displays on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. To learn more about the devices, which are available to pre-order starting Friday, read our coverage of Apple's announcement.

Sucks when you want some of the Pro features but felt the 15 Pro was already too big and heavy and then they come out with the replacement that is even bigger and heavier. 😢

still 128gb though

 

[metkis]

Cancelling my preorder!

 

[jordangoody]

So wait, are they the same physical size??

 

[thermal]

That's a pretty significant weight jump for the 16 Pro.

 

[contacos]

Damn! That’s more heavy than some of those Fold devices with a 5,000 mah battery out there

 

[spaxxedout]

Who else said “nice” during the iPhone 16 pro max display size reveal?

 

[CharlesShaw]

If you hold the iPhone with the hand that sports your new, lighter Apple Watch, you won't notice any difference.

So wait, are they the same physical size??

No

Apple Marketing----->Heavier------>the sturdiest, most durable iPhone we've ever created.

I’m surprised because I thought 256gb nand chips were cheaper than 128gb due to supply / demand.

How much hot air was spewed by Apple at the event last year, and subsequently many weak wristed YouTube influencers, about how big a change the change in weight was and how it was going to change their lives?

Now it's back to the way it was. lol

 

[tridley68]

Ill take the extra few grams of weight for the bigger battery 👍

Meh. It still weighs slightly less than my 12 pro max.

 

[Apple$]

Shocker!

 

[antiprotest]

It's ok most people will put a case on it anyway. Oh wait...

 

[Mrkevinfinnerty]

Oh dear, nearly back at the weight of my old 13 pro. That thing was like carrying a rock around.

Still just in time for a thinner model next year!

 

[Love-hate 🍏 relationship]

Jesus why is the pro so much heavier ? Back to 200gr , that's a lot ....

 

[Love-hate 🍏 relationship]

Ill take the extra few grams of weight for the bigger battery 👍

Kinda sad that the battery tech is only for the max, from what I understand

I'd also take extra weight for no camera bulge/bump

 

[BelgianChoklit]

iFind that a pretty substantial increase. 199g is too heavy. Happy with my lighter 15 Pro.

agreed - i hate the weight of this 15 pro max so i’ll just go for the standard 16 pro instead so it’s a “wee bit” lighter? (sucks to have to upgrade to pro’s to hold the trade in value but there are worse things i guess)

 

[timestride]

That's a pretty significant weight jump for the 16 Pro.

Still 7 grams (0.24 ounces) less than the 14 Pro while getting physically larger
