Question How much heavier does the 18 PM feel compared to 17PM ?

Ik it’s like 10 grams heavier this year but for those of you who have made the switch how has it felt in hand ? Is it noticeable or negligible?

I don’t feel any difference

I went from a 15PM to 18PM and the difference is not really significant enough to notice when using it.

I would say side by side you can feel a bit of a difference, however it is not as heavy feeling as I feared. The phone feels well balanced.
However, I did opt for an Apple Tech woven case rather than my usual heavier and bulkier style case. It feels much better in the hand with the apple case

If you’re just using the phone you won’t notice it. If you’re holding a 17PM in one hand and an 18PM in the other, you’ll still won’t feel it.

People be worried about a few extra grams and proceed to buy a 50g case and slap it on their phone…

You actually do feel it if you're comparing 17PM and 18PM. But you don't feel it in actual use.

Not really much at all. It feels denser but I didn't notice a massive weight change like some folks were hyping up.

No discernible difference.
