The camera size is already huge in iPhone 14 Pro that it doesn’t sit well on MagSafe Duo Charger wishing that they figured out a way to at least keep the size to how it currently is but it looks like there’s no getting around it. It looks like it’s gonna be bigger than 45mm Apple Watch at this point.
I understand that the camera is a big reason for new iPhone sales but I could care less. The camera has met my expectations for several generations now. I hate how much weight it adds to the top of my phone. Makes it feel unbalanced in my hand.
So, you do care? Because there needs to be some level of caring present for you to be able to care less.
It’s a common expression.
There’s a lot of idiots in the world.
“I hate how much weight it adds to the top of my phone. Makes it feel unbalanced in my hand”
I doubt it does. I just used a fulcrum to find the center of mass on my iPhone 13 Pro and it actually seems like the lower half of the iPhone is a bit heavier, which makes makes sense given the internals of the device. That being said it’s off center by like 1/8 of an inch at the most so it actually seems well balanced. If you made the camera smaller it’d make the phone LESS balanced than it is.
Doubt what? It’s not an opinion. I’m literally holding my iPhone right now and it is top heavy if you try to balance it in the center.
I doubt that your iPhone is noticeably top heavy, if even at all. It just doesn’t sound like a plausible design flaw that Apple would somehow miss. It’s just too easy to compensate for any weight added by the camera module with the much heavier components located below-center of the device, like the battery. I was curious though so I measured my iPhone 13 Pro with an identically sized camera module as the 14 and my phone is actually very slightly bottom heavy, but the margin is also so small there’s no way I or anyone else could actually tell without measuring.
It might be more of a perceived effect than a physical one if anything. Like it feels top heavy because you can see the camera module but not the internal parts in the lower part of phone.
Nah, it’s top heavy for sure. My source is physics because like I said, I’m holding it in my hand right now and it won’t balance on center because the top is heavier. As to weather it’s noticeable, that is entirely subjective so I’m not sure how you think you can just say you don’t believe I’m feeling the way I’m feeling.
It’s not that I don’t believe that you feel like it’s top heavy, I just don’t believe that it actually is top heavy. Your claim sounded suspect but I gave you the benefit of the doubt and I used physics and math instead of my hand to measure my iPhone that currently has the largest camera module available on iPhones and it is conclusively not top heavy. Like I said you might perceive it as being top heavy but that doesn’t mean it actually is. You might also have a case that’s contributing to your balance issue, I wouldn’t know.
