Earlier quoted context omitted.
I still use my SE (first gen) which is the same form factor. I love this phone, and I regret the day it’ll be so far behind the latest supported iOS that I have to stop using it.
I regret not buying an original SE instead of my 12 mini. Was in too much of a rush to comb the used market.
SE is still the only one with touch. Which is very cool. I also considered it...but I didn't like the rounded corners anymore, if it had the original square ones, then def! Also lack of blue. Picky! :)
