Still using an SE 2016 because it has the perfect size and still works fine. I would happily buy a new version if it would come with usb C and have a similar size, but I don’t hold my breath. Small phones don’t seem that popular :(
- EvanAnderson 3y agoThe 2016 SE was "peak iPhone" for me. Still has a headphone jack. Has a lightning connector (albeit, like you, I'd prefer USB-C). The size is wonderful. (I cannot understand the obsession with gigantic phones.)
- hot_gril 3y agoJack, home button, small screen. It's rare that I prefer an old device today, but here it is, the SE1 is still the best iPhone.
- JPws_Prntr_Fngr 3y agoAll that plus a flush rear casing with no camera wart. Form factor perfection.
- IggleSniggle 3y agoiPhone 3GS is still my favorite form factor and MAYBE even favorite screen resolution in some respects. It's all been downhill from there.
- EvanAnderson 3y agoI ran a 3GS for a very, very long time. I really liked that phone. The fragility of 30-pin cables was its major downside to me.
- accrual 3y agoI loved my SE 2016 and used it from launch to the SE 2020. Are you worried about patches at all?
- throwaway019254 3y agoApple just released update for SE 2016. I wouldn’t worry.
- dgellow 3y agoI still get security updates
- JPws_Prntr_Fngr 3y agoI'd be using one right now if anyone (including Apple) tested their goddamn UIs on that screen res anymore. It started getting really bad back in like 2018, and today even the 13 mini will awkwardly cut off views here and there. I imagine using the OG SE must be torturous.
- dgellow 3y agoNot really. A few websites make it hard to navigate on small screens but I haven’t faced blocking issues.
