Why is iPhone 6S heavier than iPhone 6? Well, many people have asked themselves this question since iPhone 6S si 6S iPhone Plus they are 14 grams and 20 grams respectively heavier than iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, which were launched last year.
Some have put this weight gain on the basis of the fact that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), uses a new type of aluminum 7000 in iPhone 6S si 6S iPhone Plus, but in reality the basis of the increase in weight is entirely different and not the new type of aluminum, which still has a different composition of materials.
According to the information provided by the Apple company itself, iPhone 6S si 6S iPhone Plus they are heavier than iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus because of the component Touch 3D implemented in the screen, making the entire screen heavier by 17 grams.
In the iPhone 6S, the weight difference was easily compensated by reducing the weight of other components implemented in the terminal, while the iPhone 6S Plus did not benefit from the same and is 20 grams heavier than its predecessor.
It turns out the extra heft comes almost solely from that new 3D Touch display. The display assembly now weighs twice as much as before. In the 6, the display used to weigh 12 grams — it now weighs 29 grams. That's because Apple had to add an entirely new layer to its display assembly to measure pressure.
Although the difference in weight is small, if you hold the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus in your hand and compare them with the old models, you will notice the difference, but without making a comparison of this kind it is unlikely that you will ever feel that the new smartphones they are heavier.
Although the increase in weight is not something commendable for a smartphone, in this case the 3D Touch function will be so useful that it is worth overlooking the change made by Apple.
