New IPhone 5 owner: I miss the weight of the 4S

am I the only one?

Initially, that's how I felt.

About a day later, I was used to the weight and the height.

Now when I pick up an older iPhone, it feels like a preverbal brick.

Buy a case with some weight, you'll get used to it.

I never get over how heavy the 4/4s feels compared to the 5.

Only for the first 3-4 weeks.

Now I can notice it's weight. It could stand to lose yet a few more oz

You'll get over it...

Ditto! Happened the same to me

I like the iPhone 5 much better weight wise

 

[Applejuiced]

Go to the gym and lift some weights

I now find myself thinking the 5 is too heavy

Yep. Also the 4/4S looks too squat after using the 5.

There's an easy fix --

tools needed:
-- Scotch tape
-- $0.25

Step 1:
Take your $0.25 and go to any random store.
Tell them you'd like 5 nickles

Step 2:
Turn iPhone over so the screen is face-down (place on something soft so you don't scratch it)
Strategically place four of the nickles at each corner and put one in the middle.

Step 3:
Use scotch tape to tape nickles in place.

Enjoy your new "weighted" iPhone 5!!

A few pieces of lead tape...

Ha ha I also think the iPhone 5 feels heavy enough now lol I remember when I got it it felt so light

 

[jimbo1mcm]

Buy a Juice Pack Air. More battery life and it will feel heavier for you.

 

[srsub3]

Don't miss it.... even if bigger the 5 fits better in my jeans pocket.... it seems like having nothing... the thickness of 5 is perfect to me

 

[Sital]

You'll get used to it and after you do, when you pick up an iPhone 4 or 4S, you'll think, "Damn, this thing is heavy!"

 

[iPawd13]

Buy a temperate glass screen protector, that should add on some weight and would give great screen protection.

 

[tmanto02]

Yeah I prefer heavier technology...

Same. I love the size and weight of the 5. It's crazy when holding the 4 and 5 in each hand how truly light the 5 is!

 

[The-Real-Deal82]

You'll get used to the weight no doubt whatsoever.

Whenever I pick up a friends 4S you think how the hell anyone would put up with a phone that heavy lol. Its silly really because they are both very good phones. One is not exactly a brick and the other is not exactly a piece of paper
