Try iPhone 13 mini! SE would have been my choice if Apple never released this model. Mini is slightly smaller than SE and it's a crucial factor for me. And it also has more usable screen and where initially I was wary of FaceID - I don't miss the button! :] I hope Apple continues with SE+mini merged model for the future.
The iPhone 13 Mini has those sharp pocket destroying edges though.
I bought a Mini with great excitement, thinking that it would take me back to the glory of the "my phone fits my my pocket and I can type with one hand" days. I kept it for 3 months, and then traded it in for a Pro. It turns out that the world has moved on. Web pages are getting harder to read on small screens. I had to squint a lot. The phone's short height means that it often doesn't charge "vertically" in Qi charg…
I love my 13 mini, but the battery is really bad. It’s really noticeable, especially coming from XR.
The phone is great, but the form factor is terrible. The phone is slippery, hard to pick up and hard to hold in hand. It's such a "looks over function" failure on Apple's part. No wonder that, with iPhone 13, they eventually went back to the old design (with right angles instead of all the slippery roundiness). No we have to wait another 5 years till that form factor trickles down to the SE line.
> retained the same design of the 2014’s iPhone 6 Too bad they didn't retain the design of the 2013 iPhone SE, which was better.

> The "Max" is still stupid. It's a lazy, bad name but it is objectively a great product. It is extremely successful. Dismissing it because it doesn't work for you is as absurd as dismissing shoes too big for you or pants made from a material you don't like. Other people do, the world is not about you.

Your English is generally quite good. The one thing I'll note is that I've not seen native speakers use notation like "+10 years" in the context you do. Generally we'd write that as "10+ years" read as "ten-plus years" or ">10 years" read as "over ten years".
How would you interpret “+/- 10 years”?
I upgraded to the 13 Pro Max from the 8 Plus and I’m still annoyed several times a day by interactions that are strictly worse without the touch sensor. Today it was because you used to be able to unlock just by holding your phone with your thumb on the sensor. But now you have to raise it to your face, hope it works after a couple of goes with your sunglasses on, and then even when it does you have to swipe up to se…
FaceID works great but I miss TouchID for one unique reason : with Touch ID, the Apple Pay UX is pure genius : just take your phone in your pocket with the thumb on the button. Place it on top of the payment terminal. You are done. With Touch ID you have to prepare the phone by unlocking it before making the payment. Which means that you have to stare at your phone while you are interacting with the merchant. It’s od…
I have dozens of mfa codes 5 apps, requiring me to stop, look at my phone wait for it find my ugly face so I can click ‘yes it me’, in Okta, MS Authenticator, Duo, Google Authenticator, Symantec VIP, is ridiculous.
I want my freaking 6s with a phone jack. /endrant
I knew I wasn't the only one fond of small, cheap-but-great phones! :) Btw, this is my first post in English. I cover tech here in Brazil for +10 years and run a +9 years old independent, self-sustainable publication written in Portuguese. Now, I decided to give it a shot in another language, despite still feeling uncomfortable with my English. (I hope I haven't misspelled anything!) If you enjoyed this brief iPhone…
