So it’s a choice between the iPhone 17 Anorexic and the iPhone 17 Obese. Neither look good.
No, there's at least two more models in the middle: standard iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro. And possibly an iPhone 17e?

So, you want a lighter phone “however they see fit” - but you are also okay with a 7g weight increase? I’m not sure what point you are even driving at here in your post?Considering the entire internal frame of the 15 and 16 Pro (and Max) stayed as aluminum, and the titanium was never more than a very thin strip around the outside, I don't know that it will make much of a weight difference. Most estimates I've seen put the total weight of titanium, in the Pro model, at about 10g-12g. Aluminum is ~60% of the weight of titanium, so you looking at about 7g of weight savings.
I want a lighter phone, however they see fit. I never liked the weight of my 13 Pro, and I similarly dislike the weight of my 16 Pro.
