No, people have mentioned the noticeably heavier weight and I got used to it in a day or two. I don’t plan on switching anytime soon, but I’d prefer to switch over to the 13 Pro Max over the 14 Plus because of the feature similarities.

Edit: I realised after commenting this that the 13 Pro Max is about the same weight as the 14 Pro Max. The 14 Plus is a good choice if Pro features aren’t a must.

It's not worth it all the features of the pro make it the better choice and you should get used to the weight after a while

I would take advantage of the fact that stocks are full of those to try it out in store

Went from a regular 12 -> 14pro weight is more noticeable but it’s totally manageable

I would personally recommend the 14 Pro coming from a X. I had the X and then the 11 Pro. Went 12 Mini in 2020 because the increase from 5.7 on the X/11 Pro to 6.1 just seemed a bit too large to me. Having just upgraded to the 14 Pro, it’s closest in size/usability to the X that I think we are ever going to get. The Pro Max/Plus models are non starters for me.

Apple says the X weighs 6.14 ounces (174 grams) and the14 Pro Max weights 8.47 ounces (240 grams). That is difference of 2.33 oz. Time to hit the gym weights if this small amount rocks your world.

I think the 14 pro would be the right choice if you liked the X. Plus/max will be too big

Don’t do it, the camera on the max, the dynamic island, the 120hz it’s all really solid once you get used to it. The 14 plus is an outdated phone hardware wise. I too found the pro max way too heavy at first but you get used to it quickly

It’s 1 ounce mate, not that much.

Give it some time. You’re coming from the X, so you just need time to adjust. It’s not actually such a big difference in absolute terms.

I went from a normal iPhone 13 to the 14 Pro Max and the first thing out of the box I noticed the weight but not in a bad way. I think it feels solid. There would be no way I’d swap it though. I’m a Pro Max convert for sure. Stupid question maybe but why is it so heavy? Is it so Apple can price it per how many grams it weighs 😂. No seriously anyone know why?

Ooft that’s a huge downgrade. Why not the 14 Pro instead?

I got a MagSafe Popsocket (was like $10 on sale at Target) to help hold it. No more complaints 🤷‍♂️

I went from a 13 Pro to 14 Plus (after quite a lot of use before that of 90-120hz Androids) and honestly it's not a big deal for me. I notice the slower refresh rate but its like the notch - you just forget about it after a while.
