I use the iPhone 13 mini, it's marginally bigger than the SE.
I still think the iPhone 13 mini is the best choice, though.
Wow, about 3 days after my five year warranty ran out. They don't hang about do they! I was planning to keep it running until the next Apple phone with 3.5mm jack. Are there any 3rd party companies providing security updates to keep such working hardware running?
So forever?
But my options are limited.
I hate the Home-Bar thing where you need to swipe.
I don't really like the haptic Home buttom, mechanical feels much nicer.
I don't like how the actual screen has rounded corners.
I don't like the notch.
I don't like the the really long aspect ratios.
If I settle for the SE 2nd/3rd generation, I'm not sure how long the support that screen size will last, mostly from 3rd party apps, already I have used apps where things are cut off because of the screen size and there's no way to access the contents.
I've been trying to wean myself off phones completely since the demise of the SE, but life in Moscow without a phone is basically impossible (taxis, deliveries, electric scooters, bikes etc. all become pretty much unavailable). As a compromise I've been using the Palm Phone[0] for a while now (before that the Unihertz Atom, which is quite the chonker, albeit with a small screen). It's the size of a credit card and ha…
"Life is impossible without e-scooter rentals and fast food delivery." -Socrates
The walled city of Athens when Socrates lived measured about 1.5 km (0.93 mi) in diameter.¹
Moscow is among the world's largest cities; the city covers an area of 2,511 square kilometers.²
Access to personal transport is an essential part of modern daily life, without which it is difficult to work, live, and even, sometimes, eat.

Will they not release security patches to the last-supported iOS version though? I think they were doing that in the past.
You're absolutely right, it's still supported security wise. You just don't get the new versions of iOS

I really dislike the fact that it only has Face ID in the age of masks, but otherwise I too think it's a great device. I'm surprised how quite a few apps in that ecosystem don't support the small formfactor though(i.e. keyboard doesn't close and you can't press next in some apps) even though it's not like in android where there is a thousand formfactors to support.
