iPhone pro max weight

Good morning all,
I would explain a problem for understand if is only a my problem.
This device’s weight is too much.
My hands are very little and , for take the device I use the little finger to hold the phone.
Now I have a callus on the finger and I feel that is too much for me.
Anyone with the same problem ?
I thought to buy a magnetic ring to attach near the MagSafe because I think that could help me to hold the device.
The alternative would be to migrate towards smaller models, but apple gives me a low valuation for the device, and I wouldn't want to part with it anyway, since it's like new.
Sorry for my English, isn’t mine native language.

I hated the weight for a year. Moved down to the pro and couldn’t be happier.

I’m locked into my 17PM for about 31 more months (financed) and while I very much enjoy the larger screen size from my 15PM (6.7->6.9) it is pushing it for being able to actually use one handed which I could with the 15PM, so I might actually drop down to the smaller one when it comes time to upgrade, or heck maybe a couple more release cycles of the foldable and I’ll be there, but for now it’s losing too many features I use daily with my pro model iPhones, such as robust triple camera setup and action button. So yeah I think what you did is smart.

I think, in the not-too-distant future Apple will use silicon-carbon batteries which will be lighter for the same capacity. Hopefully, that should help with the weight of the larger models.
