The new generation of Apple has brought us the best smartphone ever created in the history of the industry. The iPhone 14 Pro Max boasts enviable features for any other device, but users are not entirely convinced for a compelling reason. And never better said, because the top of the range of the American brand becomes very heavy in the hand.
The company led by Tim Cook has revolutionized the high-end with a mobile that breaks the canons and takes a leap in quality in various aspects, such as general performance, cameras and battery. This is thanks to the A16 Bionic chip together with the new 48 MP lens and a considerable increase in autonomy both due to a larger battery size and due to the energy efficiency of the processor. However, this has caused their weight to also increase drastically and this is not to the liking of all users.
The iPhone 14 Pro Max weighs too much
On Apple’s own official website you can take a look at the specifications of the iPhone 14 Pro Max to realize that its weight reaches 240 grams compared to 238 grams of the previous generation model. This ends up making it the heaviest iPhone in history , but it can even reach half a kilo under certain circumstances.
If you add a tempered glass or film to the phone along with a protective case with an official integrated charger from the company, the weight of the flagship would reach and could exceed 500 grams , transforming it into a real brick.
This has generated quite a bit of criticism among users, but there is also another part of the community that seems logical. Mainly, because some think that the most important thing about the iPhone 14 Pro Max is its portability, that is, with its conditions, such as its large screen and weight, it has left behind the idea of a mobile phone and is that it is not specially designed for use. daily.
Instead, there are those who believe that the sacrifice of increased component weight has resulted in the most powerful mobile device we’ve seen yet. So that it achieves optimal performance in all sections, be it photography, power, autonomy… guaranteeing the user a premium experience like no other.
The evolution of the weight of the rest
We are going to analyze if this increase in the heaviness of the iPhone 14 Pro Max is a trend extended to the entire new generational family or if it only affects this model. First we go with the standard version , which remains at 172 grams compared to the 173 grams that the iPhone 13 weighs, thus being a minimal reduction in weight.
The Plus variant has a weight of 203 grams , but it is impossible to compare it with any other model since it is the replacement for the iPhone 13 Mini. Finally, we have the iPhone 14 Pro , which on this occasion appreciates a weight gain by sharing qualities with the Pro Max and that is that it reaches 208 grams, exceeding the 203 grams of the same mobile last year.
