Other iPhone 17 PM, heavier and thicker?

[Sensamic]

Known leaker Ice Universe on X has said the iPhone 17 PM will be a tad thicker (I assume also heavier) than 16 PM. I really liked the weight balance of the 15 PM, but now the PM series is getting heavier and bulkier it seems.

What do you owners of the PM series think? The 16 PM already feels too much in the hand without a case.

I have the 11 Pro Max and the weight is good. If the 16PM is heavier, and the 17PM heavier still, I'd be all for that. I like a solid weight with my phones. But, I don't use my phone like most. I'm not holding it up all day as I sit in front of a computer for most of my time. My phone gets used as a phone. I might think differently if I had to hold it up a lot.

The one thing I do not care about with my 11PM though is that it's top heavy. The weight is centered more in the top half of the phone and less in the bottom. This contributed to my dropping it in 2022 and having to get it replaced. That and the antihistamine I had taken at the time (wasn't paying attention).

As much as I like weight, I hope the newer phones are more centered with it.

there have been some rumors that the 17 pros will be aluminum instead of titanium, so that might offset the weight gain due to increased battery size

I'll take the aluminum with a bigger battery.
