My work bought me an "upgrade" to the XR, as my SE is starting to show some battery issues. But after a day of playing with the XR, I put it back in the box to send back to Apple. Compared to the SE, the XR is 50% heavier -- even without a case. It doesn't have a good edge to hold onto being so thin, so it makes you want to hold on by the front. But every corner of the front of the device is a UI element that you can…
My GF controls her apple watch by voice, glances at imessages on the screen and replies by voice, and really only pulls out her phone when seated or waiting-while-standing.
I doubt a modernized SE-sized device could meet Apple's margin needs.
I bought a new SE earlier this year, but managed to completely shatter the screen twice and gave up on it. Still holding onto a 6S.
EDIT: Never mind, OP is right, I had this wrong. Thanks, 333c. Apple discontinued the iPhone SE at the tail end of 2018 Actually it was on September 12, 2017, the day they announced the iPhone X [1], even if they had it on sale for a while early this year.

Every year I wait on bated breath at the release of a similarly compact phone to the SE. I even recently bought a new one right before they removed them from the store, so I have 2 year apple care+ for it to tide me over. Ordinarily I would vote with my wallet, but there are no compact Android phones either. Ironically I still own a Oneplus One which is quite old by todays standards; and I distinctly remember it bein…
Wait what? This doesn't make sense. I remember getting OnePlus as well (bought it for a friend in Europe) and the screen size was pretty mainstream at that point. It had 5.46" size. It got released the same year Apple released 6+ which had bigger screen, and in US it doesn't get more mainstream than that. In no particular order a list of other pretty successful smartphones released in 2014:
- Galaxy Note 4 (5.7")
- Google Nexus 6 (6")
- HTC One (M8)(5")
- LG G3 (5.5")
- Droid Turbo (5.2")
Where do you live?

> EDGE is a little slow Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe EDGE has been disabled across a lot of the US.
AT&T shut their footprint off completely a few years ago to free up spectrum in 850mhz.
Not true. iOS 13's compatibility list includes iPhone SE (near the bottom): https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-13/
