About 175g - 200g or so.  Given the functionality, that's quite light.
Of course re-charging will be an issue - so add a small solar panel to
your burden if out for more than 2 days.

 
Can those portable solar panels recharge iPhones fast though? I read that they don't.

 
 
I read that when hiking I won't find hot and cold running water and nice
clean porcelain toilets along the trail either.
 
When hiking one would not normally deplete the iPhone battery on a daily
basis.  Or even close.  If one is doing so, maybe they should re-think
their hiking goals.
 
Hiking panels (20 - 30W) run 600 - 700g.  It's in that zone of "I'll
bring it if I _have_ to, not want to."  Depending on rest time, you'd
probably be able to keep the battery up.
 
There are higher power portable panels - of course (shocking revelation
ahead) they are heavier and bulkier.
 
All that said, I've never brought a solar panel hiking - this summer
camping trip (drive in) I may acquire 100 or 200W of solar capacity - TBD.

Soldiers backpacks on D-Day could weigh 70 to 100lbs…and that was before
they were soaked in sea-water.

Some paratroops equipment weighed 150lbs, if they were also carrying
base-plates, tubes, or ammunition for mortars, and they had to be shoved up
the ladder into their C-47s.
