I seen so many videos about this phone. I want to know what they say. But why? This is my phone of choice no matter the comments or pros and cons. I love Touch ID. I love using it one handed. Yes phones such as the 13 may be better, but you should get what works for you and suits you. And large phones just ain’t for me. I’ve had SE1, 8, SE2. I tried iPhone 13 and realised it’s nice but not for me. So I’m getting an SE3 because that is the next phone for me. I don’t need bigger, better etc. I call the SE my baby.

For someone like me, who doesn’t care about spending a ton and still wants a small iPhone with Touch ID still. This phone works great. I’m a low key cell phone user. Works great for text, call, emails, UA-cam, music. I don’t have socials.
I don’t get what the problem is. It works perfect for me. I have an SE my entire life and to me. It’s absolutely in the elite product plus everybody wants so much with their phone. Sometimes we say something very simple.
Love the home button. Slightly bigger screen, same form factor, better camera would be perfect. I love the iPhone SE. I want Touch ID!!! Simple, working
I switched from the iPhone 13 mini to the se3 and could not be happier. I love the home button form factor and how comfortable it is in the hand. To me it's the perfect iPhone. Plus it shoots great photos like all iPhones always have.
I’d love if they did amd tried to cram in a bigger battery. I’d definitely buy it then!! I have an iPad and a tv/Xbox for UA-cam and Netflix so I don’t need a huge phone.
I just bought the SE when my pixel 6a started dropping service. I wanted the cheapest (new) iphone to try out Apple since I have an ipad and MacBook already. So far I like it and I love how small it is. If I decide to stick with an iphone, I'll return this and get the new 16.
@@Lucifer-vx7gj I have SE 2020 before but sold it and upgraded to SE 2022. Yes the battery life sucks on SE 2020. Reason why I have an SE is because it's like an iPod Touch and having a second phone is like convenient for me in case my 14 Pro Max dies. Also I bought the SE 2022 for $300 with 256 Gb storage 😊
Just buy a MagSafe compatible case and an anker 321 battery. I own both the 3rd Gen se and the 13 mini. Aside from the aspect ratio they are quite similar. And if you are with straight talk, the 3rd gen se is $150…
The only issue I had with my SE 3 was the battery didn’t last all day. I bought an iPhone 7 Smart Battery Case on ebay and it now lasts all day. I also use the 5 watt charger and my battery health is at 99% after owning this iPhone for 10 months. Also, OLED bothers my eyes so I’m much happier with the lcd screen. My iPhone 14 Pro Max was bothering me to the point that I bought the SE 3. I just wish Apple still sold the Smart Battery Case because it makes this phone perfect for me.
I’m still rocking with my iphone 13 mini at 82% battery life. But still eyeing for this iphone se 3rd gen for extra phone. Also, the feel of having a home button 🤭
bro you missed one really big point - the typing experience in mini is disastrous while SE still gives you a standard sized iphone keyboard instead. I think in overall SE gives you less trade-off in daily usage if you're switching from a bigger iphone like the iphone 11 pro or 12 pro max.
Lots of evidence coming to light the impact of smart phones have on our brain - like actual changes in the size and structure of various parts of it. I have no doubt in my mind now, that buttons and tactile feedback is 100% better for you in the long-run than the trash we have now.
I got my 80 year old dad 2022 SE model because he just needs a phone to make and receive calls and to occasionally send and received texts. For these needs, the SE is more than enough. For me, I've had the 13 mini for 3 years and love it.
@@eleldiyoupwapi My 13 mini's battery life is at 83% now. Some days that can get me through the day, but most days I need a charge in the late afternoon or evening. I'm planning on replacing it soon so that I can hopefully get another 3 years out of the phone.
I'm totally blind and mostly an android guy but did pick up the SE as a secondary device. Just some accessibility stuff on either platform works better with different apps so it's useful for me to have both. If I'm using the SE on the go it's just hotspotted from my Samsung so I don't really care about the battery life as much. The touch ID is easier for discreetly unlocking my phone in my pocket or whatever than face ID which ended up selling me on the SE over the mini.
I'm still using the 12 Mini. With the new SE coming next year being the size of the iphone 14, the choice is to either get a 13 Mini while they are still available... get the current SE and sacrifice the little things I like about the mini... or bite the bullet and just upgrade to the new SE or 16, and deal with the larger phone. I'd prefer a 16 Mini... but Apple apparently hates small phones... so f small phones.
And here I am sitting watching on my iPhone XR hoping it will be supported for another two or three years because I really see no benefit in swapping phones asking as the old one still works perfectly fine. It was different 10 years ago. But since around 5 years I do not see any real evolution. Only gradual improvement in things I personally don’t need. As long as you don’t jump at least four orbfove generations, I generally don’t consider it worth it.
It’s likely the reason why even though Apple started with 1x & 2x lens, they decided to put more more useless .5 on the cheaper one. They know more people would want the zoom.
I agree it's a gimmick, I never really use the Ultra wide. I use the main lens and a zoom as well. On my Samsung Galaxy S23 plus I also use the telephoto lens
I would argue that iPhone 13 mini a waste of money, man. iPhone SE is not worth it. I am still using my good old iPhone 5s here in Czechia and it works just fine
Please just stfu😂😂😂 I like how people act like their old models are just fine whereas if able didn’t make any phone after 6s, everyone would be using an android because apple didn’t upgrade after 6, now apple is upgrading every year and people are acting like they don’t need it😂
I love the whole body design and size of the SE2 compared to the 13 Mini (I have both of them!). I wish the SE4 will stay in the same physical build as SE2/SE3 but without bezels, no notch screen, no OLED, wide angle camera mode and better battery life. I think they should keep the home button too!
I'm still on the old SE. I have tiny hands, need an earphone jack, don't care about any of the flash stuff. Is going to be murder when it needs replacing 😞
Only reason to get this iPhone is for Touch ID and a physical sim tray, now that the 13 is discontinued in the US. However, those are both really strong reasons. Honestly before the 15 launched the 13 Mini was just way better but Apple has found a way to make the SE 3 a great deal without actually making it better while releasing 2 new phone generations.
Just a heads up, I am a completely blind iPhone user, and the SE is awesome for Accessibility, I love the home button/touch ID, I don’t have to worry about cameras, screen, size, etc., but it’s an incredible phone, I understand what you’re saying, maybe we’ll find out what they’re going to do if they create a generation for, blessings and best wishes, peace from The Blind Guy.
Finally someone saying the SE's design comes from the iPhone 6. It's not a design "from the iPhone 8" as many say due to the back glass. Yes, the 8 added a glass back panel... but did so to a chassis that has undoubtedly stayed unchanged since the 6. And the 6 turns 10 years this year, so yes, time to go... The iPad 9 carried its design all the way back to the first iPad Air from 2013 - which itself was increased size version of the first mini's design from one year before - and is finally gone, I hope they ditch this SE chassis and give us a decent smaller option, now that the minis are dead
I do not agree with you. I am still using my SE 2nd Gen. It’s doing what it should be doing. My wife uses the 3rd gen SE and she is very happy too. Sure, sometimes the screen is a bit small especially with bad eyes 😂 hey I bought it for really cheap and it is still supported. I guess if you are using a newer model and swap to the SE for testing you will notice differences but the buyer for this phone is not doing that and just wants a cheap iPhone.
I've just replaced my original SE with great regret - got a refurbed mini12. The old SE was perfect for my tiny hands, I only use it for brief calls/messaging, music and dumb photos. I wish they'd stop selling us these gigantic-arse heavy tellies - I can't even get my hand round them now.
The 3rd gen mini is really cheap compared to the iPhone 13 mini.its literally half the price I just got a 3rd gen se with full battery health and great overall condition for 150 quid,the 13 mini is 300 plus in similar condition.Plus the se has larger app icons as the screen is broader.Its a little bargain for 150.The Touch ID button is fantastic.
i may have to get used to it at some point down the line, but I'll probably upgrade my current SE 2 to an SE 3 within the next year (depends if the 16 proper or SE 4 ends up being).
i have the se 2022 as a backup and if i had to choose a 13 mini or se, id pick the 13 mini easily. better screen, better camera, better battery, etc. that being said, i still love the se but i hope the next design is like the 13 mini or xr at atleast.
can anyone explain? the point apple made the back of the iphones glass was because of the mag safe feature. Since the iphone se doesnt support magsafe, whats the point of putting it? is it for looks or to make it shatter so we buy the newer iphones?
Very nice video! I’m using iPhone SE 2nd gen that I bought refurbished for 149$ and I’m very happy with it. I just want to ask what’s the widget you are using in the SE! Thank you!
I traded my se 3 for the 12 pro with a friend straight up. They preferred the home button and smaller phone. I was perfectly happy with my se 3, it was just too good a deal to pass up. I do sometimes forget my current phone doesn't have a home button. I wish Apple would put a fingerprint scanner in the power button, so we can have touch id and face id
I'm just switching from iPhone 15 to iPhone SE 3 and it is feels great. I was also an iPhone 13 Mini user as well before the 15 but I have to decide that the compact form on SE 3 is the best. It is also powered by great chip, the only issue is the battery but everything is totally fine and in terms of user experience it's better
I bought one secondhand from cex , luckily had 99% battery health ☺️ i tried using other larger phones, but due to health problems i struggle to hold the larger phones , also a samsung phone with a super amoled screen made my eyes ache. I did have a 13 mini back in 2021 but i sold it some time ago. I like the SE 3 , i like the home button, i don't mind it's not the latest or greatest. It runs all the apps i use , the phone design suits my needs. For me its necessary, but i don't feel like I've had to compromise, I'm just very glad to have something suitable. But if small smartphones (not the flip version) ceases to function then I'll have to go back to the good old days of a button phone (dumb phone as people call them)
I used the 2020 iPhone SE for 5 months before I broke down and bought a used iPhone 11. I didn’t mind the actual body of the phone but I just couldn’t get used to that screen size.
They should keep the small size and the button. It's very easy to pay with touch ID. Just tap the button twice and finger print ID comes up and that's it. Very fast to pay for purchases using Tap.
I am still on a 64gb iPhone 8 which I bought renewed about 5 years ago. I’m trying to see how long I can go sticking with that before it no longer functions.
Had an iphone 7 which i used as daily driver. Even though i have iphone 13. I had to sell it to get an apple watch now these videos just makes me want buy an iphone 7 again
Yo i also find it nowadays more or less ridiculous to run around with a fat 6.1 or bigger brick phone that can do quantummechanics while hiking. Seígh. Nobody cares if there is an A13 or A15 CPU as its a phone. Any CPU works fine for the common user. I dont feel any difference no matter if i am on iPhone 11 12 13 its all same to me. I think an iPhone 13 Mini is a great choice. Battery usage can be optimized by using darkmode, i put it also in flightmode when not in use.. AND - there are these affordable Maglife Powerbanks für 20-30euro that are nowadays slim and cheap and uncomplicated. AND - maybe we waste less time with reels and other idiotic stuff when our phone is a little more limited. hehe.
Just make the iphone SE bigger like the iphone 8 plus and all will be fine for a lot of people. Bezels is false debate. The loss of the finger print button is my deal breaker. Can’t get used to looking at the phone notch to unlock it and many people seem not to realize the loss of the finger print button

I’d love if they did amd tried to cram in a bigger battery. I’d definitely buy it then!! I have an iPad and a tv/Xbox for UA-cam and Netflix so I don’t need a huge phone.
I just bought the SE when my pixel 6a started dropping service. I wanted the cheapest (new) iphone to try out Apple since I have an ipad and MacBook already. So far I like it and I love how small it is. If I decide to stick with an iphone, I'll return this and get the new 16.
I love the SE 2022 and I'm using it as a secondary phone. My primary phone is 14 Pro Max 😊
I have SE 2020 :/ it’s good phone but battery is not good. But I’m planning to upgrade for 14 Pro Max or maybe 15 Pro 😅
@@Lucifer-vx7gj I have SE 2020 before but sold it and upgraded to SE 2022. Yes the battery life sucks on SE 2020. Reason why I have an SE is because it's like an iPod Touch and having a second phone is like convenient for me in case my 14 Pro Max dies. Also I bought the SE 2022 for $300 with 256 Gb storage 😊
@@TheKRAKEN163where did u buy that SE from?
Home button for the win
I have to use the SE 3. Apples oled screens kill my eyes
the last iphone if u are pwm sensitive. will be the backup phone to iphone 11. lcd screens only
I love that intro especially the se sliding down the wireless charger!!! Made me watch the whole thing lol
Wow, stunning video quality and spot on analysis! Thank you, you deserve so many more subscribers and views!
The SE 3 is a dated phone? It just came out 2 years ago.
Just buy a MagSafe compatible case and an anker 321 battery. I own both the 3rd Gen se and the 13 mini. Aside from the aspect ratio they are quite similar. And if you are with straight talk, the 3rd gen se is $150…
The only issue I had with my SE 3 was the battery didn’t last all day. I bought an iPhone 7 Smart Battery Case on ebay and it now lasts all day.
I also use the 5 watt charger and my battery health is at 99% after owning this iPhone for 10 months.
Also, OLED bothers my eyes so I’m much happier with the lcd screen. My iPhone 14 Pro Max was bothering me to the point that I bought the SE 3.
I just wish Apple still sold the Smart Battery Case because it makes this phone perfect for me.
I went from a 13 mini to SE3 due to having Pwm. I miss my 13 mini so much
Same but you know I can’t complain, it does about as much as my mini and the home button is a lot more reliable.
I have had all the iPhone SE models and I loved it.
I’m still rocking with my iphone 13 mini at 82% battery life.
But still eyeing for this iphone se 3rd gen for extra phone.
Also, the feel of having a home button
🤭
i have the Iphone SE 2022 and it's just GREAT!
bro you missed one really big point - the typing experience in mini is disastrous while SE still gives you a standard sized iphone keyboard instead. I think in overall SE gives you less trade-off in daily usage if you're switching from a bigger iphone like the iphone 11 pro or 12 pro max.
Lots of evidence coming to light the impact of smart phones have on our brain - like actual changes in the size and structure of various parts of it. I have no doubt in my mind now, that buttons and tactile feedback is 100% better for you in the long-run than the trash we have now.
I got my 80 year old dad 2022 SE model because he just needs a phone to make and receive calls and to occasionally send and received texts. For these needs, the SE is more than enough. For me, I've had the 13 mini for 3 years and love it.
hows the battery life and the batt health of your 13 mini already? I was thinking of getting one
@@eleldiyoupwapi My 13 mini's battery life is at 83% now. Some days that can get me through the day, but most days I need a charge in the late afternoon or evening. I'm planning on replacing it soon so that I can hopefully get another 3 years out of the phone.
I'm totally blind and mostly an android guy but did pick up the SE as a secondary device. Just some accessibility stuff on either platform works better with different apps so it's useful for me to have both. If I'm using the SE on the go it's just hotspotted from my Samsung so I don't really care about the battery life as much. The touch ID is easier for discreetly unlocking my phone in my pocket or whatever than face ID which ended up selling me on the SE over the mini.
I'm still using the 12 Mini. With the new SE coming next year being the size of the iphone 14, the choice is to either get a 13 Mini while they are still available... get the current SE and sacrifice the little things I like about the mini... or bite the bullet and just upgrade to the new SE or 16, and deal with the larger phone. I'd prefer a 16 Mini... but Apple apparently hates small phones... so f small phones.
And here I am sitting watching on my iPhone XR hoping it will be supported for another two or three years because I really see no benefit in swapping phones asking as the old one still works perfectly fine.
It was different 10 years ago. But since around 5 years I do not see any real evolution. Only gradual improvement in things I personally don’t need.
As long as you don’t jump at least four orbfove generations, I generally don’t consider it worth it.
Ultra wide is such a gimmick like who even uses it except for landlord taking picture of their rented apartment
It’s likely the reason why even though Apple started with 1x & 2x lens, they decided to put more more useless .5 on the cheaper one. They know more people would want the zoom.
I use it a lot 🤷♂️ much more than 1x
I have a 12 pro though and the ultra wide is better than the minis
I agree it's a gimmick, I never really use the Ultra wide. I use the main lens and a zoom as well.
On my Samsung Galaxy S23 plus I also use the telephoto lens
I'm still using an iPhone SE (1) from 2016 and really like it.
As long as that home button is there I'll keep buying 😊
I would argue that iPhone 13 mini a waste of money, man. iPhone SE is not worth it. I am still using my good old iPhone 5s here in Czechia and it works just fine
How come man ??
Yeah...im still using my nokia 3310...So worth it... battery 3 days lasting...Can throw at people...
Coz u cant just afford and u are stuck using the 5s
what? I can barely scroll through apps with it it's laggy asf. I only use it for cellular calls and texts☠️
Please just stfu😂😂😂 I like how people act like their old models are just fine whereas if able didn’t make any phone after 6s, everyone would be using an android because apple didn’t upgrade after 6, now apple is upgrading every year and people are acting like they don’t need it😂
Couldnt wait on the se4 ?
I have an iPhone SE 3 and I love it
How long does the battery last , and r u heavey or liter user my guy ???
I first started to use wireless charging in 2024. I wish there was a iPhone mini with usb c. But also the rounded corners like the SE have.
If they had that then I’d buy it in a heartbeat.
@@shanepatrick641 Impulse buy destroying the home budget 😆
@sashagogard true.. gotta find what’s empty inside me sort the problem out.
I love the whole body design and size of the SE2 compared to the 13 Mini (I have both of them!). I wish the SE4 will stay in the same physical build as SE2/SE3 but without bezels, no notch screen, no OLED, wide angle camera mode and better battery life. I think they should keep the home button too!
I'm still on the old SE. I have tiny hands, need an earphone jack, don't care about any of the flash stuff. Is going to be murder when it needs replacing 😞
Only reason to get this iPhone is for Touch ID and a physical sim tray, now that the 13 is discontinued in the US. However, those are both really strong reasons. Honestly before the 15 launched the 13 Mini was just way better but Apple has found a way to make the SE 3 a great deal without actually making it better while releasing 2 new phone generations.
Just a heads up, I am a completely blind iPhone user, and the SE is awesome for Accessibility, I love the home button/touch ID, I don’t have to worry about cameras, screen, size, etc., but it’s an incredible phone, I understand what you’re saying, maybe we’ll find out what they’re going to do if they create a generation for, blessings and best wishes, peace from The Blind Guy.
You'll never get my wife to part with her iPhone 12 Mini.
What a perfect video, thanks for your sincere opinion
Finally someone saying the SE's design comes from the iPhone 6. It's not a design "from the iPhone 8" as many say due to the back glass. Yes, the 8 added a glass back panel... but did so to a chassis that has undoubtedly stayed unchanged since the 6. And the 6 turns 10 years this year, so yes, time to go... The iPad 9 carried its design all the way back to the first iPad Air from 2013 - which itself was increased size version of the first mini's design from one year before - and is finally gone, I hope they ditch this SE chassis and give us a decent smaller option, now that the minis are dead
Nope it's going to be in a similar chasis to the iPhone 14
@ nope what? what are you disagreeing with, then?
Where are the phones for those of us klutzes with small hands and never use it to watch movies on such a small screen?
My favourite design iPhones
iPhone 5s or SE 1st
iPhone X or Xs silver
iPhone 15 pro
SE 3 & 13 mini is good for secondary device.😊
I have a SE 3 as business phone, I love it!
I miss small phones (under 5 inch) so bad !
Me to, I wish they would make a comeback 😢
This is still the perfect work phone. Compact, robust, easy to use with one hand. Has the latest iOS and basic features you need.
I do not agree with you. I am still using my SE 2nd Gen. It’s doing what it should be doing. My wife uses the 3rd gen SE and she is very happy too. Sure, sometimes the screen is a bit small especially with bad eyes 😂 hey I bought it for really cheap and it is still supported. I guess if you are using a newer model and swap to the SE for testing you will notice differences but the buyer for this phone is not doing that and just wants a cheap iPhone.
Still happy with my SE 2 as well!
@@clydeosterhout1221Switched to SE3 from a Pixel8 (which I still love) about a month ago and for some reason I can’t go back.
I've just replaced my original SE with great regret - got a refurbed mini12. The old SE was perfect for my tiny hands, I only use it for brief calls/messaging, music and dumb photos. I wish they'd stop selling us these gigantic-arse heavy tellies - I can't even get my hand round them now.
@@randomhumanoidblob4506 I still think use my original SE as an iPod Touch. It is also my back up phone, for just in case!
The 3rd gen mini is really cheap compared to the iPhone 13 mini.its literally half the price I just got a 3rd gen se with full battery health and great overall condition for 150 quid,the 13 mini is 300 plus in similar condition.Plus the se has larger app icons as the screen is broader.Its a little bargain for 150.The Touch ID button is fantastic.
Almost bought an extra se3 coz they were selling it for $40 T-Mobile locked
i may have to get used to it at some point down the line, but I'll probably upgrade my current SE 2 to an SE 3 within the next year (depends if the 16 proper or SE 4 ends up being).
Rumours have said the next gen SE isn’t coming this year :(
i have the se 2022 as a backup and if i had to choose a 13 mini or se, id pick the 13 mini easily. better screen, better camera, better battery, etc. that being said, i still love the se but i hope the next design is like the 13 mini or xr at atleast.
can anyone explain? the point apple made the back of the iphones glass was because of the mag safe feature. Since the iphone se doesnt support magsafe, whats the point of putting it? is it for looks or to make it shatter so we buy the newer iphones?
Probably to make it shatter so you buy a new phone
Very nice video! I’m using iPhone SE 2nd gen that I bought refurbished for 149$ and I’m very happy with it. I just want to ask what’s the widget you are using in the SE! Thank you!
Thank you! Just added the link in the description. See “iPhone Widgets”.
@@VittorTechThank you, didn’t know it costs tho :(
I traded my se 3 for the 12 pro with a friend straight up. They preferred the home button and smaller phone. I was perfectly happy with my se 3, it was just too good a deal to pass up. I do sometimes forget my current phone doesn't have a home button. I wish Apple would put a fingerprint scanner in the power button, so we can have touch id and face id
Just brought a SE3 for $150 new from Walmart, I brought a MagSafe case and screen protector and it works fine …no regrets.
best intro ive ever seen on any video idc what anyone says to me
Super interested in this video
thanks, this video helped me to decide that I want to switch to iPhone SE from 15 pro. I need some digital detox...
Fantastic video! I just have one thing to mention, something is very wrong with the audio production on this video, like very wrong.
I'm just switching from iPhone 15 to iPhone SE 3 and it is feels great. I was also an iPhone 13 Mini user as well before the 15 but I have to decide that the compact form on SE 3 is the best. It is also powered by great chip, the only issue is the battery but everything is totally fine and in terms of user experience it's better
I bought one secondhand from cex , luckily had 99% battery health ☺️ i tried using other larger phones, but due to health problems i struggle to hold the larger phones , also a samsung phone with a super amoled screen made my eyes ache. I did have a 13 mini back in 2021 but i sold it some time ago. I like the SE 3 , i like the home button, i don't mind it's not the latest or greatest. It runs all the apps i use , the phone design suits my needs. For me its necessary, but i don't feel like I've had to compromise, I'm just very glad to have something suitable. But if small smartphones (not the flip version) ceases to function then I'll have to go back to the good old days of a button phone (dumb phone as people call them)
I love the SE. The smaller size is perfect and it does everything I need.
Just give me the 13 mini with the apple logo at the back as a fingerprint scanner that would be awesome. Ill spend my money on that phone
I actually chose this phone over a $1000 new iPhone and been happy since. Plus i got it for free for switching to Verizon ❤
I used the 2020 iPhone SE for 5 months before I broke down and bought a used iPhone 11. I didn’t mind the actual body of the phone but I just couldn’t get used to that screen size.
They should keep the small size and the button. It's very easy to pay with touch ID. Just tap the button twice and finger print ID comes up and that's it. Very fast to pay for purchases using Tap.
which one is for the better calling quality?
I'm switching from 11 to SE
Correction. Bought the SE, returned it and was going to get a 13 Mini but couldn't find a reliable source so I bought a red 256gb 14
i wish they make the iphone 5 size and design with full desplays. i would buy it even if it costs more than the pro series
never use ai to make your voice sound more clean, it makes you sound more like a ai tts, overall the video is good
The last best simple phone
I am still on a 64gb iPhone 8 which I bought renewed about 5 years ago. I’m trying to see how long I can go sticking with that before it no longer functions.
I have a question. New android or old iPhone ?
Had an iphone 7 which i used as daily driver. Even though i have iphone 13. I had to sell it to get an apple watch now these videos just makes me want buy an iphone 7 again
If my 13 MINI poop out today, I will get another one in a heartbeat!
Yo i also find it nowadays more or less ridiculous to run around with a fat 6.1 or bigger brick phone that can do quantummechanics while hiking. Seígh.
Nobody cares if there is an A13 or A15 CPU as its a phone. Any CPU works fine for the common user.
I dont feel any difference no matter if i am on iPhone 11 12 13 its all same to me.
I think an iPhone 13 Mini is a great choice.
Battery usage can be optimized by using darkmode, i put it also in flightmode when not in use..
AND - there are these affordable Maglife Powerbanks für 20-30euro that are nowadays slim and cheap and uncomplicated.
AND - maybe we waste less time with reels and other idiotic stuff when our phone is a little more limited. hehe.
Just make the iphone SE bigger like the iphone 8 plus and all will be fine for a lot of people.
Bezels is false debate.
The loss of the finger print button is my deal breaker.
Can’t get used to looking at the phone notch to unlock it and many people seem not to realize the loss of the finger print button
Genuinely curious, what widget is that on the se? Looks neat and would love to try it out
