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…
I have had my iPhone 6S for six years now, and it’s still going strong. I’ve replaced the battery a couple of times and the screen more than a couple. I can do everything I need with it, and it’s the perfect size. So I have no desire to upgrade until I must.
Within two years most apps will probably stop supporting iOS 15 so you’ll start having issues.
It’s obviously served you great, but it might be time. And the difference in performance (CPU and camera) will floor you. Plus wireless charging is awesome.

I am also very happy with my iPhone SE 2nd gen. I only migrated from Android to iOS after they launched a cheap and small model.

The only way to beat thumbprint is authentication via nfc, for example using a biometric chip in your hand, but that’s not palatable for most ;).

it's not the same, but apple could add the home button on the side, even if they remove it from the front. it could incorporate the fingerprint sensor like the ipad, or they could use an in-display fingerprint sensor, combined with the removal of the front camera, and voilà, their holy grail single slab of glass iphone! i still use my trusty 6S because i prefer the fingerprint scanner and home button, plus having a r…

my plan is, i'm gonna use this thing until it dies! =) but no, i'll probably upgrade next year, as the 6S no longer gets ios updates as of this year but i see no need to upgrade quite yet. i'm not sure if i'll get a 13 mini (assuming no more minis to come) or splurge and get a 15 (that i don't really need, but it'll be new and shiny and irresistable).

Care to explain why they're "trash"? What didn't you like about it? Just the rounded corners?
They aren't trash. I think the OP is trying to say they don't like the way the current SEs look. I just bought my kids their own SE current generations, and me with my 13 Pro is kind of jealous of how ergonomic, pocketable, and usable (home button) they are. Edit: OP edited their comment to remove the "they are trash" verbiage.

Also a huge fan of the iPhone SE and will keep buying them until they stop making them. Don’t take my thumb print away from me!!! I write a lot and it’s slightly faster to unlock via thumb (when it works) than face. Also it works in the dark, eg, when you think of something in the middle of the night or when your face is covered.

Just wondering, how much did it cost to get the battery and screen replaced? And did you do it via Apple or a third-party repair shop?
