#2I would pay a decent chunk of money for an iPhone SE clone that runs Android. I'm so tired of big phones. I can't do this anymore.

iPhone 13 mini will probably be the last small phone we’ll see for a while.
There’s the Balmuda phone on the Android side as well. The market simply does not support small screen devices.

#4I run an SE and it’s great. I like it’s size and its price.
Phones should be cheap and simple. I don’t want to pay more for a phone than a Mac book air.

#5I was hoping to see my phone and I was not disappointed.
> It is very likely that this is the last iPhone SE of its kind, the last “iPhone with a button” (a recurring joke here in Brazil). The reception from critics has been lukewarm and sales, apparently, below expectations. That’s a shame.
This is saddening to read, and with how Apple is it's not like buying more of the same phone as a backup would work -- they'd all stop working at the same time, probably.
The iPhone SE is so cheap that I could throw my phone to the ground for fun and not be bothered about buying a new one except for the annoyance of moving stuff over (which was actually really easy thanks to hard work by apple engineers). It's an intrusive thought (who would want to just throw their phone to the ground for no reason?) but knowing it's easily remedied is so freeing.
We really need to start pushing frugality as a society. I know it's bad for GDP and status games, but some things just... shouldn't be spent on that much. Phones nearing identical quality/functionality are one of them.

#6I'd be happy with an iphone 14 or 15 mini. (I'm not ready to get rid of my 12), but for similar reasons as described in this post.

#7The (actual) perfect phone is the gen 1 SE. I literally just returned my gen 3 and ordered two new sealed in the box gen 1 SE’s on eBay for $150 a piece. I’ve been using this model for 8 years. I’m set on phones for the next decade.
I’m hoping and praying that Apple will someday make a modern 5G phone with the dimensions and features of a gen 1. But until then this is my phone. It is literally perfect and there’s nothing on the market remotely similar.

#8I got the iPhone 13 Mini. I suspect that it will be the last of that form factor.
I use a first-gen SE (tiny screen) as my low-end test (iOS 14).

Care to explain why they're "trash"? What didn't you like about it? Just the rounded corners?

#10Can we just have a conversation about how my Pixel 4a's camera at 4K gets smoked by an iPhone SE/iPhone 5 taking video at 1080p... I'm not an iphone guy but I do keep one in my pocket for taking video.
