If you’ve been rocking the original SE you’d know even better. Such a shame, it’s the best size phone I’ve had.
- TrueGeek 6y agoHave you tried the new Mini? I switched from the Pro and love it.
- tambourine_man 6y agoI haven't yet, mine is still pretty fine. But I'll buy it when this one eventually dies or is not supported anymore.
- layer8 6y agoI have, and it is noticeably heavier and less “thumbable” than the SE1 (and the screen scratches much more easily). The mini size is better than the 6/SE2, plus the return to flat edges, but it’s still a compromise in usability compared to the 5/SE1.
- mgkimsal 6y agoAmen. I'm sticking with my 12 mini for now, but just left the original SE. they're close in size, but more screen means more reaching/stretching for my small hands. SE2 was bigger, but because the screen is smaller, I'm wondering if that may have been the better option? I miss the Touch ID too..
- layer8 6y agoI had an iPhone 6 (same size as SE2) for a year after the 5, and then reverted to the SE1 because the 6 was just too slippery with its round edges, and just a tad bit too wide to grip it naturally, and I had to use the Reachability feature quite often. So while it may work for you, I can’t personally recommend it over the 12 mini.
- mgkimsal 6y agoI'd meant I considered an SE2, but didn't get it, because of the physical size.
- aphextron 6y ago>"Such a shame, it’s the best size phone I’ve had." Likewise. It seems we will never see a comparable size flagship ever again though. I bought two new sealed box original SE's on eBay last year when they announced that the new SE would be larger, in the hopes they will last me for a while. I literally cannot imagine ever wanting another phone. It's without a doubt the best product Apple has ever designed.
