I’ve been rocking the SE2020 since launch.
I’ve watched every release since then come and go, including the recent iPhone 15 and there is never enough of a reason to jump up.
The newer models, particularly the redesign that came with the 12 initially peaked my interest, being somewhat of a callback to my favourite device, the iPhone 4.
However, they are simply far too big and chunky.
I’m not a social media influencer and I’m not a photographer, so the insane power gains, fancy displays and high end cameras are completely lost on me.
I’m desperate for an iPhone that isnt quite as outdated as the SE but also slim and light, with “true” all day battery life, unlike the lofty claims Apple makes.
From what I can see, the closest thing I’m going to get out of the more recent releases is going to be a refurbished or second hand iPhone 11 Pro, with a fresh battery.
It’s the smallest and lightest of the bunch, with a very good reputation for holding its charge.
What do you guys think?
I’ve had an SE for a long time, and honestly, none. I like the home button and TouchID. I want nothing to do with FaceID. I wouldn’t mind if they made the phone a little bigger, and I could even sacrifice the home button, button TouchID is non-negotiable for me. I don’t want a phone camera staring at me all day, and I don’t want to use my face to unlock a phone. Way too “Big Brother” for me.

It a IR camera that’s sandboxed. Not even Apple can access it. Take the tin foil off.
