Last night I went to the Grove Apple store and held the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. They didn’t seem to weigh enough, and I’m sorry but that disappointed me. My iPhone 5S with the Mophie juice pack weighs a bit more than either phone. If I’m going to spend several hundred bills on a new device I want it to feel dense and solid and substantial. I don’t need it to feel “heavy” exactly but all my life I’ve associated quality-level electronics with a certain gold-bar feeling. The iPhone 6 and the 6 Plus almost feel like they’re made of dense balsa wood inside a light plastic case. If I was running Apple I would tell my engineers to add lead to the casing just to give people like me a feeling of heft.
