Chris Evans Calls the New iPhones “Too Heavy” – What He Actually Wants
Actor Chris Evans, best known as Captain America, recently shared his mixed feelings about Apple’s new lineup in a candid Collider interview. While he happily traded his trusty iPhone 6s for the sleek iPhone 12, the physical design of the newer models has left him a little uneasy.
The Missing Home Button Isn’t the Only Issue
- Instead of the familiar pinky‑tap entry, the new iPhone requires a swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
- Evans says this change feels “a bit awkward,” especially when he’s on the go and his phone is in his hands.
He Doesn’t Like the New Weight
While the slimmer aesthetic looks great, it also feels significantly heavier on his fingers. “I’m getting used to the new design, but it does take extra effort to keep it in my hand,” Evans confided. He hinted that the heavier build‑up might be a result of higher‑capacity batteries and better screen technology.
What the Actor Wants From Future iPhones
- More ergonomic design that doesn’t feel like a strong arm workout.
- A balance between cutting‑edge tech and comfort for everyday usage.
Despite these concerns, Chris Evans remains overall enthusiastic about the new iPhone’s features—especially the improved camera and lightning‑fast processor. He just hopes Apple remembers that a phone should feel as light as the role he’s playing on the silver screen.
Chris Evans’ Tech Throwback: The iPhone 6 Was a Better Match
Chuck Chandler from Knives Out keeps it real when he talks about phone choices. He says weight‑in‑style might be a factor, but the real deal is that he’s not looking at the newer iPhone SE. “I’m all about that classic vibe, you know? A phone that will work until it stops working—like a trusty sidekick,” he quips.
- Old‑School Preference – He’d rather keep the iPhone 6, or “something from before,” as a dependable backup.
- Less Fuss, More Function – Want a device that doesn’t scream or constantly needs updates.
- Future Plans – Evans is actively filming Defending Jacob on Apple TV+ and plans to be back with more projects on the platform.
