The iPhone 16 Pro models come with Apple’s largest smartphone screens yet, while also being lighter than their smaller counterparts made of steel. Here’s a comparison of how much lighter the titanium iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max are compared to the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max.

To support the expansive 6.3 and 6.9-inch displays, the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max are minimally larger than the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, which feature 6.1 and 6.7-inch screens respectively.

However, the titanium construction makes the newer, larger pro iPhones surprisingly lighter.

Comparative Weight of Titanium and Steel iPhones

The 6.3-inch iPhone 16 Pro is 0.24 ounces lighter than the 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro.

The 6.9-inch iPhone 16 Pro Max weighs 0.48 ounces less than the 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max.

While such differences may seem minimal, they can lead to a noticeably lighter feel in hand due to the decreased weight distributed over a larger device surface area.
