I hope they get the message that making the regular Pro model larger was a mistake. The size of the 15 Pro is really nice. They could have made it even smaller while keeping the same display size with the smaller bezels. Or kept the same size and increased the display size a little bit. But nooo lets make a larger heavier phone that feels worse in the hand again similar to the 14 Pro. Sending it back saves me loads of money though.
They can do all that with the Pro Max and Ultra models, but the regular Pro should be a one-handed device.
I agree that there are definitely two different points of view at work there! I don’t mind having to charge my phone every night, but I don’t want it to feel like a brick in my hand. I wish they’d use aluminum again on all the phones, and keep them as thin and light as possible.
I have to say, I had a 14PM for the past two years, and picking up my nephews 15PM by accident one day (similar cases) I did immediately know it wasn’t mine by the weight alone. The 16PM isn’t so drastic, but it is still noticeably lighter, which is amazing as it’s only 15g difference or something like that.
Agree 100%. People know what they're getting when they buy the phone - all the specs are available in reviews and on Apple's website itself. It seems like there's a contingent who buy it just for the buzz, then return it after they've had their fun fondling and playing with it (and posting about it on forums/social media, of course).
It's the bragging about it that gets me. "I brought it but now I'm sending back! Go me!!!"
Why are you even reading this forum then? Of course people will report their issues with their new device that they checked out. And if it’s so bad that they decided to return the device. It‘s good info for people on the fence too. I‘m sorry if it hurts your feelings.
Some people in this forum likely have Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Seeking validation, attention and justification for their decisions to get the latest iPhone to "impress" others. I'm sure 99% of average people who don't frequent these forums don't give a you know what whether you returned the Desert Titanium 1 TB 16 Pro Max or not.
The EU will likely say it’s anticompetitive that Apple has a no hassle return policy as it makes folks more likely to try out and potentially keep an iPhone. As a result, they’ll force them to have a more onerous process.

So you bought a regular Pro and are sending it back? Cause I'm hard pressed to notice the size difference myself. Yes, sure, if you keep them side by side...
The 15PM is actually quite a bit lighter than the 14PM!
Indeed:
Yes. It took a few days of actually using the device and then switching back to the old one to figure out that it bothers me way more than I anticipated. I also thought the color would grow on me but it didn’t. I had already made a deal with my friend who wanted to buy my old phone, so I really tried to like the new one. Amazon will have to sell the device for a few bucks less but I guess they will manage. It‘s not something I would have figured out in a store using it for 10 minutes.
That's a very subjective opinion.
If I had skipped the 15 Pro I would likely feel the same. I just find it stupid that Apple keeps changing sizes all the time just for newness sake. They just had a major redesign (their words) with the 15 Pro and made it smaller, lighter and more comfortable than the 14 Pro and 1 year later they are already going up in size again making it less comfortable to hold. Of course 100 % subjective.
