Found my old 3G while cleaning out a junk drawer the other week and I totally forgot how heavy it was
4 comments

on a tangent, our family got the original 2G in 2008. then another 3GS on 2010 i think. later, i got a 3GS of my own in 2014~.

i still cannot get over the fact that i "miss" the typing on that form factor. i simply cannot explain it. the keyboard on that thing right till 3GS was a beauty and i have written many thousands of words worth of tomes and blogs and reports over the years.

since then i moved over to android because idevices got expensive and i still dont feel comfortable typing on a phone even today. my laptop has helped but i could type "with confidence" on that phone but now, my moto G30 current phone just doesn't cut it

Also consider recycling your old electronics, apparently it has great benefits: https://www.treehugger.com/why-recycle-cell-phones-1204065
Heavy? It weights the same as iPhone 12 mini.
I should probably have used the word compact instead. When I hold it I can feel the inertial weight when moving my hand in a way I don't do with my current iphone 13
“dense” perhaps.
It’s not heavy, the iPhone 13 pro is heavy!
