iPhone X Pinky Fatigue

[macher]

I rest my phone on my pinky when I’m using my X and I’m getting pinky fatigue. I’ve always used my past iPhone 1 handed and never experienced pinky fatigue. After a bit I have to stop and start using with 2 hands.

Anyone experience pinky fatigue?

Lol. In case you are serious, I have not.

And to answer your question, no lol

Is it that heavy?

Definitely heavier than my iPhone 7. What I think makes it heavier is it’s taller and it’s more top heavy.

This again? LOL! Pinky Fatigue™

Oh dang. I have the iPhone 8 and it feels heavier than the previous one

Idk what to say, do some pinkie strengthening exercises.

Best advice is to get out and do manual labor.

This is the one time that “you’re holding it wrong” might actually be an appropriate response.

It’s a real thing... but not a big thing. Just learn to shift your grip on it from time to time. Solved.

I experienced this going from my 6s to my 7Plus. Took a couple weeks to adjust my grip, but typically haven't had the problem since.

i have a dent in my pinky.

(i also hold my coffee there on the walk to work so it's more than just the phone causing it)




[edit]

left hand -- no dent:

right pinky -- dented:

seems like a very awkward way to hold a phone

Got it

I guess I do that too now seeing the picture

Used an X in store for 30 minutes and had no issue

Nor with my 6s Plus


Might add I had thumb surgery on that hand and plenty of arthritis, still no issues.

It can fatiguing with the pinky after while with the Plus model. I just adjust my grip. Problem solved.

iPhone 7 is 4.87 ounces (138 grams)
iPhone X is 6.14 ounces (174 grams)

Not after getting this latest Apple™ accessory. only $299.99

I knew exactly what you were talking about once I read the title. I also balance my phones on my pinky, and I was able to do it fine with the 6, 6S and 7. The X is wider and heavier, so I have had to adjust my grip more frequently. Not a huge deal, but I have noticed it.

 

[myscrnnm]

Coming from the Plus model, this is nothing new for me. Although with the X, I'm doing it more because the new case is so slippery, and not so much because of the size/weight of the phone was was the case with my 6 Plus.

I have a slight dent in my right pinky too, after years of holding my phone that way. When I feel a bit of fatigue in the finger, I adjust my grip for a while, and it’s fine.

But I do have a default position, for sure.
