  The internet means it's easy to find "lots" of people for anything. Excluding yourself how many iPhones do you see in the wild have a home button? I'd estimate less than 1 in 20, or 5%. If less than 5% of people are keeping their phones while they're in support, how much e-waste can you possibly divert by allowing third party OS?

If less than 5% of people are keeping their phones while they're in support 5% of all iPhone users having a home button does not mean that only 5% of iPhone SE purchasers are keeping their phones, since the population of iPhone SE purchasers is smaller than the population of iPhone users. Let's be conservative and say about 10% of iPhone users ever bought an SE. If SE users now make up about 5% of the iPhone user base, that would mean that about half have kept their devices -- an order of magnitude off from your 5% claim.

  The iPhone 13 mini is a faceID device - but I’m holding onto it until the bitter end. But we’ve been using iPhone SE as company phones until they were discontinued- the devices are perfectly usable for all basic use cases.
