Interesting. Do you know why it's heavier? I'd have to hold one to be sure, but I really like how light the 6 is. I'm not sure I'd like a heavier phone - the 6

I'd have to hold one to be sure, but I really like how light the 6 is. I'm not sure I'd like a heavier phone - the 6's specs are already great.
- masklinn 11y agoNo idea, my guess would be the force touch gizmos, the trackpads tack on a fair bit of hardware[0] though I've no idea how much it weighs and in the "disassembly" pics the feedback thingy ("taptic engine") seemed fairly large and mostly metallic: http://live.arstechnica.com/give-us-a-hint-apples-september-9-event/images/DSC00147.JPG http://live.arstechnica.com/give-us-a-hint-apples-september-... (that's the big gray block in front of the battery, you can read "taptic" on the far side of the picture) The different aluminium alloy might be a few % heavier, but it wouldn't increase the whole phone's weight by 10% (replacing aluminium by steel might) [0] https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Retina+Macbook+2015+Teardown/39841#s89855 https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Retina+Macbook+2015+Teardown...
