My iPhone 11 Pro Max weights 274 grams instead of 266 grams

I have been having trouble out of my iPhone 11 Pro Max since the day I bought it and the issues continue to happen, so I was comparing my phone to other models and happen to notice for the first time how much my phone weights ( 266grams manufactured specs.) so I decided to weight my phone and it weighed 274grams which is a very significant difference in weight in my opinion. So I guess what I’m looking for by submitting this in this forum is a little feedback from anyone that is more knowledgeable about technology than I am and if this should be something I should be concerned about. Thank you.

All the specs I have seen show 226 grams

Are you sure you scales are accurate?

Yes, heavier than predicted due to changes in manufacturing and manufacturers as Michael

Black pointed out.

You did take the case off?

Actually, the current tech specs say 226 grams -> iPhone 11 Pro Max - Technical Specifications

But note footnote #2 - “Size and weight vary by configuration and manufacturing process.“

8 grams is a significant amount of weight when you’re talking about computer chips and technology.

Why would there be such a significant weight difference?

Yes I took the case off in the protective screen cover would not make up for the extra weight gain.
