Weight is very noticeable at this range, maybe not in the pocket but at hand. You don't always hold the phone in perfectly ergonomic position.

BTW iPhone Air is 165g. It's 22g more than my iPhone 6s but since its much taller and wider I expect it to feel lighter.

It's 51g lighter than 14pro, which is very significant.

If you care about weight, you wouldn't be buying the pro then. The valid comparison is against the non-pro.

Apple doesn't care about weight. If they did, they'd use a lot more plastic and a lot less glass, metal and ceramic.

The valid comparison is against the phone with the features I want. In my case ip14pro is a great phone but too thick and heavy and iPhone air has all the features I care but its thin and lightweight

The iphone air is not lightweight. It's only 11 grams lighter than the iphone 17, which is a superior phone to the iPhone 14 pro in every way, as far as I can tell.

		That's %7 lighter in a wider, taller and %30 thinner form factor. It's pretty significant.

		Good luck taking any telephoto pictures with that iPhone 17. Or anything needing LIDAR. Or doing any sustained gaming. Or doing anything advanced with photography or video requiring RAW. But admittedly the differences are smaller than they’ve ever been.
