The problem with the new SE is that it comes on the heels of the old SE. My first smartphone was a 2nd gen SE that I bought around July 2020. I plan on keeping it as long as I kept my previous dumbphones: 4-6 years (i.e. however long the battery lasts). If they keep releasing SE's at the current pace, my next phone will be a 4th or 5th generation SE. There is literally no feature they could add that would entice me to replace it before then.
I'll allow that battery life might sway me to pull the trigger after 3-4 years, but barring that my phone more than meets my needs as-is.
Know your customers, folks.
