Other 15 vs 15 Pro in hand?

[anthonymoody]

I was surprised to find, via Apple's comparison tool, that the regular iPhone 15 is far closer in physical dimensions to the 14 Pro than it is to the 15 Pro. But, the 15 is about 8.5% lighter than the 15 Pro, which itself is already about 10% lighter than the 14 Pro. So the 15 is about 17% lighter in total than the 14 Pro.

Given how much focus has been put on how much lighter/better the 15 Pro feels in hand than the 14 Pro (something I have confirmed while swapping my 14 Pro for a 15 Pro, and which I understand is due in part to the Ti frame), has anyone held both the 15 and 15 Pro side by side to see what sort of difference it feels like in hand? I haven't had a chance to hit an Apple Store nor won't anytime soon.

Yeah when I was setting up my wife’s 15 I noticed that it didn’t really feel much different than my 15pro. If I pick one up and then switch I can kinda tell the 15 is a little lighter but if I hold one in each hand they feel the same to me. I compared with no case and just a screen protector for both phones.

I held both of them in store and to me the regular 15 still feels better in the hand, but that's no surprise because the aluminum phones have always felt better. If they had 120hz I would totally buy one instead of the pro models because I don't care that much about the cameras.

Thanks to both of you. Have to get to a store with my wife I think. She has a 13 mini (and would prefer another mini if they made one) but it's crapping out so she has to get "something" to replace it.
