iPhone 13 mini How many here think the mini should weigh more?

I was having a lively discussion with someone on Youtube about the mini and he was adamant that it should weigh more "so it doesn't fly away in your hand". I personally think it's just right as is. I don't like a heavy phone that flops around in my shorts when I'm walking or running. I think Apple did the right thing by making the phone slightly thicker and slightly heavier to add more battery but not to the point where it's too thick/heavy. What do you think?

I think it’s great, hell make it lighter, but would love it to be stainless. Although I run my phone naked and it still looks pretty good.

A "Pro" version with a tele camera and stainless would sure be nice!

And heavy.

And heavy.

Indeed it would. As much as I like the weight of the mini I think that's a sacrifice I could make to get the extra features. Depends on how heavy we're talking.

He should pick up an SE (2016) sometime... The mini feels massive in comparison.

Under circumstances should the phone weigh more. These things are heavy as it is.

Why would you want it heavy? They should make it super light - that's when you know it's been made well, just like cars use carbon fiber, phones should to so there not bricks

The only thing I’d want changed on the mini is for it to have a frosted rear like the pro models. Feels so much better off using the phone naked for extended periods.

The glossy glass gets warm quickly in your hand and can then feel sticky.

Weight is certainly not something I’d want though on a small device.

10 more grams would be nice. Max at 150grams would give it a few more hours of SOT but hey, that's why the magsafe battery pack was designed for
