Another small, but perceivable change: the iPhone 11 Pros are a hair thicker in all directions and heavier. Somewhere, Jony Ive is in tears. The iPhone 11 Pros are definitely weightier — the iPhone 11 Pro is 0.39 ounces heavier than the iPhone XS and the iPhone 11 Pro Max is 0.63 ounces heavier than the iPhone XS Max — but in a good way, especially without a case on.

While I truly miss the days of the seemingly feather-light iPhone 6, the iPhone 11 Pros feel solid and dense the same way a premium mechanical watch like my Omega Speedmaster Professional does. Tons of phones now sport the same metal-and-glass sandwich design, but not all of them feel, for lack of a better word, engineered. There’s no hollow “thwack” sound when you tap the back of an iPhone 11 Pro like there is on metal-and-glass phones.

The ring/silent aka mute switch, volume buttons, and side/power buttons have all curiously moved a few millimeters down. Nothing major, but they're just a little more reachable, which is a good thing.

On the bottom, there’s a Lightning port, stereo speaker (the other speaker is the earpiece), and microphones. A USB-C port instead of Lightning like on the iPad Pro would’ve really made the iPhone 11 Pro even more pro-like, but that kind of change should probably be saved for a top-to-bottom design refresh.

Apple also increased the iPhone's water resistance again. The phones are still IP68 rated, but they can be submerged in up to 13 feet of water for up to 30 minutes compared to 6 feet of water for the iPhone XS and 6.5 feet for the iPhone 11.

Greater durability is always a plus, but I can’t say I needed more water resistance. I suppose if there’s a high chance you’ll drop your phone in a pool, or lake, or sea, you’re gonna be all like “Hells yeah,” but otherwise, when are those extra feet really going to matter?
