Nice IMAX you got there.

Oh yeah, it’s really unbelievable that people would care about the weight of something they carry and move around a significant fraction of their day and people definitely haven’t been complaining about how heavy the 13P / 14P design is since they were released (https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/pw875n/does_anyone_e..., https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/13-pro-too-big-and-heav...) but hey I’m sure you can just call them weak shills or something.

Sorry, what?

10%/19g reduction is about as little as few coins or variation of a t-shirt weight, it's beyond negligible. Drinking an extra glass of water will weigh you down tenfold. What would you say about moment of inertia? That people twist around with phones all day?
