Currently I have an iPhone 6. I considered going to an iPhone 11 in the next few months until the iPhone SE was announced. I like that the SE can fit in my pocket as easily as my current phone. The price is also attractive, although I tend to keep phones until they become too slow and battery life becomes an issue. However, I'm frustrated constantly by typing on it. Just typing a couple of sentences in a text message can take minutes. (I'm a 60 wpm touch typist on a standard keyboard.) It's become so bad that I'm moving back to a laptop for most communication. My phone is coming close to a read-only device. Is the 11's size enough help for typing that it's worth the price? If so, does it fit in your pocket, i.e. how do you keep it on you?
