Wow. Wonder how light it would have been without the wireless coil and the 5G?

Thanks for doing this @bobob

Fun fact:
The NA version of the 12 Mini comes in at 135g and the international version comes in at 133g.
The only difference is that the NA version has mmwave support & a mmwave antenna (that cutout on the side) so we can say that "mmwave 5G costs 2grams" 🤣

===============================================

My eyes enjoy the big screens of modern day iPhones, but my wrists suffer from the weight of them.

I'm planning on making the jump to the new iPhone 12 flagship 5.4" model and am just hoping that Apple can keep the weight down.

With about a month to go until we find out all the specs, I thought it might be fun to have a contest to see who can guess the weight of this all new 5.4" iPhone model. (Due to an unforeseen lack of sponsorship, the prize will only be forum bragging rights. ) ((FTR, 151 g is my own official guess, though I really wish they could bring it back down to 129 g like the iPhone 6.))

Add your prediction to your post and let's see who comes out on top in September!
