IF I had a new I-Phone and one that was full of data
would the full one weigh more?
like even0.000001 of a gram ?

Well at least I don’t think so.

Data is a state rather than a weight.

I think.

I’ll field this one thanks Sibeen.

It would just be a matter of different 0s & 1s. They all weigh about the same.

Are both subject to equal sunlight (spectral distribution and intensity), have equal amounts of sweat and grime, humidity the same in both examples and both examples the humidity equalized with the surrounds, and is the same battery used in both examples and exactly the same charge state?

:)

I have to wait longer than most to get data.

Mobile phones use flash memory, not the magnetic memory that traditional hard drives employ. Magnetic drives store binary data as a pattern of magnetic alignments on the surface of the platter. Changing these alignments should not alter the weight of the data. Flash memory is based on floating gate transistors. The binary state of a floating gate transistor is modified by adding or removing electrons to the floating gate. The mass of these electrons means that the memory weight will change.
