Replace the battery in your iPhone SE. It is still a great phone.
the battery just doesn't hold up. it took a year for it to get basically unusable. also the phone itself doesnt seem to be able to handle carplay without being quite slow. dunno whether thats because the battery is basically dead tho

the "mini" is still a bigphone. i'm about to buy a 13 mini out of necessity but am pissed i have to get something bigger than my OG SE, which apple promoted on the premise that it's the correct size for a phone based on human anatomy and they're still right about that

the mini is actually slightly smaller than the se, it just seems bigger because it's all screen hth

e: oh, the 1st gen se is still a little smaller, but it's a matter of a couple of mm in each direction

the entire thing being screen is part of why it doesn't work for some people though. despite being a few mm bigger, the top of the screen (and thus the back button) are considerably further up, so if your thumb doesn't comfortably reach that far, it's basically the same problem as the hugephone

I don’t think my mum was bothered by the slight size increase, she’s just glad it’s not a hugephone like the regular 12

people should get the size of phone that they like best. it's dumb to tell other people what's comfortable for their bodies, RSI issues, etc

There are lot of ways you can use the phone to avoid having to touch the top of the screen like swiping to go back, but yeah you still sometimes need to press the top portion of the screen. At least they finally moved the address bar from the top of the screen to the bottom of the screen.

Yes, but have you considered that they might be holding it wrong?

You don't really need a phone when a cellular Apple Watch, an iPod Touch and a cellular iPad (carried in a bag or purse) covers most use cases.

apple should be forced to steal the dockable usb-c dongle idea from the framework laptop

those things should become an industry standard, it's such a stupid simple and elegant solution to having the ports you actually want and easily replace them when a port wears out
