Still on iPhone 12 mini. My significant other has an iPhone 15 pro. The pro gives you the true iPhone experience. It’s just so damn huge and bulky though. If Steve Jobs was CEO it would be skinnier then the current iPhone SE

Wish I had snagged a 13 mini (4.97 ounces), but the 12 mini is lighter (4.76 ounces). I have the SE2020 model for the TouchID, and the weight (5.22 ounces). 256GB model is plenty of storage, takes great photos, and is LIGHT WEIGHT.

Why Apple is taking till the iPhone 17 slim to get the weight under control is beyond me. I know plenty of people who have no interest in the newer iPhone models because they are too heavy.

A friend I talked to this weekend said they had to modify their entire setup to keep all credit cards, ids, etc, in a "iPhone 15 Pro Max case" so that they only had to cary 1 thing around with them. It was ridiculously heavy. -- iPhone 15 Pro Max is 7.81 ounces ~ nearly 1/2 pound!!

I send new Apple users to iPhone Resale websites, telling them to wait for Apple to get the Weight under control. Most resell websites still have AppleCare+ on the phones, and you can extend it Month-to-Month after that, no need to buy new from Apple. You still get the repair coverage, replacement, etc.
