I upgraded from the iPhone 10 to the iPhone 17 base model about 4 months ago, and ever since then I’ve noticed that my hands hurt more both while holding my phone and after using it. It almost feels like the phone is too heavy for my hands, which surprises me because I’d say they’re average-sized and on paper the iPhone 17 isn’t known for being particularly heavy.

I’ve tried Googling whether this is a common issue among iPhone 17 users, but it doesn’t seem to be. Could this simply be a matter of getting used to the larger size of the phone? Curious to hear about your experiences. I also seem to have developed “smartphone pinky,” so any advice would be very welcome!
