'Captain America' star Chris Evans misses the Home Button, says new iPhones too heavy

Despite being an Apple TV+ alum, Chris Evans isn't a fan of his iPhone 12, says he misses the Home Button and would happily switch back to a working iPhone 6s given the chance.

In June, we learned that Chris Evans, known for "Captain America" and "Knives Out," had finally upgraded his iPhone after years with the iPhone 6s. However, he isn't too happy with that change as Apple has moved on from the Home Button and curved design.

During an interview with Collider, Evans lamented his iPhone 6s, stating that new iPhones are just too heavy. He goes on to demonstrate that he needs to use his pinky just to keep the phone aloft.

The weight isn't the only problem with new iPhones. Evans says he misses the Home Button, and no, he doesn't want an iPhone SE.

"I'm like, no, I don't want (the iPhone SE), I want the iPhone 6," says Evans. "I want something from before to work until it doesn't work anymore."

Chris Evans has starred in an Apple TV+ show called "Defending Jacob" and will return for future projects. Apple reportedly paid $100 million for his and Scarlett Johansson's "Project Artemis" which will come to the platform in the future.

Sounds like Evans isn't aware of the iPhone 13 mini. Lighter than the 6s. Bigger screen than the 6s.

iPhone 6s = 143 grams/4.7 inch display

iPhone 13 mini = 141 grams /5.4 inch display

I can live without the home button, but if Apple had concentrated on making the best phone they could within the constraints of the iPhone 6 form factor and weight, I’d prefer it to the current offerings. Not that it’s too late to try that, but I don’t see it happening. As a shareholder, I want them to go where the market is, and they seem to be doing well with that, but I’m not looking forward to my next “upgrade” unless they make a Mini with a telephoto camera.

He can lift Thor's Hammer, but he can't lift an iPhone?

Pretty safe way to get your name in the news. Kudos to his publicist.
