iPhone 15 Pro Max Case Weights

[LedRush]

I am having trouble finding the weights for the official Apple 15 Pro Max cases. I've learned/been told the following:

- The DBrand ghost case is 33g
- The OtterBox clear case sold by Apple is 37.5g
- Apple customer service said the clear MagSafe case is 67g
- Apple customer service said the finewoven case is 109g

Are the Apple cases really that much heavier than other cases?

No way. Probably this is with packaging.

Apple 14 Pro silicone case is 30g.

I agree, and specifically asked that question. I was told that I was wrong.

ProMax Case is maybe 5g more. Other cases probably in the same ballpark, plastic chassis makes up for the most of the weight, silicone and lining the least.

The Apple rep lacks common sense if they think the case weighs nearly half the device.

What about the clear case (also 15 Pro)?

She definitely lacked common sense. I told her that this must include the packaging as at that weight it is almost as heavy as my iPhone 13 mini. Her reply: "And I totally agree with you that is almost as heavy as the iPhone mini."
Anyway, I didn't see the point of continuing the conversation after that and thanked her for her time and wished her a happy day.

These are not tech enthusiasts. They have a script and this is it. They open the internal "specs" page and read the weight of the case (with packaging).

Every once in a while you get in touch with somebody who really knows about stuff, but it's rare.

It is true, that this specific data is really hard to come by online. Googling doesn't help, because you're presented with the same useless numbers.

Apple Clear Case 15 Pro Max = 34g

Wow I’m surprised at how much these cases weigh. I would’ve expected 5-10g max. Not 30g.

Other cases for comparison:
Otterbox Symmetry: 44g
Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit: 41g
Decoded Leather: 37g
Decoded Silicone: 37g
