The 5S and the SE for me was mainly about being minimalist.
Size was a big part of it, but it was also that the SE was a really good design that should last for years. Up until this announcement, I was going to have the battery replaced on the SE. The bigger issue is if Apple will continue to support the 1st gen SE with iOS.
My wife prefer the bigger phones. She has aphantasia. I don't, and often hold visualizations of things I can't see.
It eventually dawned on me that people buy those things to attach to the back of their phone because you _couldn't_ safely hold and operate the bigger phone with a single hand without that attachment.
- Angostura 7y agoI believe it has been announced that iOS 14 will support the same phones as iOS 13, has it not?
- AnonC 7y agoWell, iOS 14 will only be formally announced by Apple in WWDC, which is in June. Apple hasn’t mentioned that release name anywhere yet. So any announcements you may have seen on device support would be speculations or rumors.
- briandear 7y agoThe existence of iOS 14 hasn’t been announced let alone device support.
- wlesieutre 7y agoHas not been announced. But the 6S/SE are the oldest devices supported by iOS 13, so I won't be surprised if they're dropped.
- thijsvandien 7y agoKeep in mind that the old SE was still being sold by Apple until just a year and a half ago (discontinued in Sep 2018). Generally, their devices can be expected to be supported for several years after they were newly purchased. I would be quite surprised if iOS 14 drops it, and have some hope for the release after that even.
- 1980phipsi 7y agoMeh, I have aphantasia and an SE...
- hosh 7y agoWell, good for you? I don't know why my wife prefers the bigger screen, but I came to accept that she experiences the world differently than I do, and prefers the bigger screen.
