“Misspelt” is the usual UK/Commonwealth spelling, if that’s the spelling you’re referring to. “Misspelled” is the usual North American variant. Both are correct!
Not the person to whom you’re replying, but I think they mean many English speakers misspell the word with only one “s”: “mispell” (sic), “mispelled” (sic), etc.
[quote] It is very likely that this is the last iPhone SE of its kind, the last “iPhone with a button” ... The reception from critics has been lukewarm and sales, apparently, below expectations. That’s a shame. [/quote] That might be because people who really wanted a small phone might have gone for the 12/13 mini which is even smaller. I never considered the 8 "small".

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”?
"this tree was planted 200 years ago, +/- 10 years" -> the tree was planted between 190 and 210 years ago.
"this comet will next be seen in 100 years, +/- 10" -> The comet will visible between 90 and 110 years from now.
> in its entry model, low cost (USD 429). The iPhone SE isn't "low cost" considering the alternatives from android land, and the disappointing battery life. I think a big reason this phone is so well liked on here is the general woeful state of the budget, compact phone market. With LG gone, Google Nexus gone, HTC gone, OnePlus's descent into mediocrity, and Motorola churning out huge phone after huge phone, options…
Absolutely, in the whole market it would probably be a mid-range smartphone.

You can find replacements for all of those through f-droid. You do lose a little bit of functionality and/or polish with those alternative apps though.
There's no replacement for Google Maps and Google Photos in the current world IMO. That feels hyperbolic, but any alternative to Map that I've seen were either: - strongly platform limited (e.g. only works on android/iOS, and you lose bookmarks, preferences, or even finding consistent info when using any over device) - use inconsistent apps (e.g. OSM will have different clients on different platforms, which crosses t…
And then Google Photos works together with Google Maps Timeline to show you pics taken on a given day in a certain place. Theoretically possible on any platform since photos have appropriate metadata, but practically only available from Google.

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.

The iPhone SE, described in the article, has Touch ID.
Yeah, but “not latest tech”. Hard to swallow that.
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…

Wearing motorcycle gloves would make it impossible to touch anything on your screen anyway?
