I heard that the reason the new IPhones weigh so much is because they have a kinetic battery charger stored inside.

This new method is completely safe as all current models of the IPhone are equipped with Apple patented flexi-glass screens with the flexibility and durability to withstand many extreme impacts. Use today in conjunction with Apple patented IFlex technology.
