Mostly because they insisted on making the Pro models with stainless steel instead of aluminum, which made them way heavier for no reason. The 34 gram difference between the iPhone 14 and 14 pro is very noticable in the hand.
So now they have introduced the titanium frame as a solution to their self-inflicted problem, which still isn't as light as the aluminum non-pro iPhones.
- repelsteeltje 3y agoI hear plastic is cheap, light and durable too. That would solve it. I suppose being design sensitive folks, as many Apple customers are, you could argue that plastic looks cheap. But then, most iPhones these day have a case that completely hides those stainless steel/aluminum/titanium/glass parts anyway...
- cageface 3y agoI'm a huge fan of plastic phones. Lighter, cheaper and who can tell the difference if it's in a case?
- rootusrootus 3y ago> I suppose being design sensitive folks, as many Apple customers are That trope is so very, very tired, surely on HN we can get past it? The iPhone has over 50% market share. The vast majority of iPhone owners do not give two shits about the design of the phone. They slap it in a case anyway, and get on with their lives.
