As the comments note, a 777-200 weighs >750,000 lbs, & 7% of that is 52,000 lbs. If the airline flies primarily A-340s, 7% is still 42,700 lbs. The entire aircraft entertainment system only weighs 2 tons, so its removal & replacement with iPads only accounts for a portion of the claimed weight loss.
