I’ve been rocking the SE2020 since launch.

I’ve watched every release since then come and go, including the recent iPhone 15 and there is never enough of a reason to jump up.

The newer models, particularly the redesign that came with the 12 initially peaked my interest, being somewhat of a callback to my favourite device, the iPhone 4.

However, they are simply far too big and chunky.

I’m not a social media influencer and I’m not a photographer, so the insane power gains, fancy displays and high end cameras are completely lost on me.

I’m desperate for an iPhone that isnt quite as outdated as the SE but also slim and light, with “true” all day battery life, unlike the lofty claims Apple makes.

From what I can see, the closest thing I’m going to get out of the more recent releases is going to be a refurbished or second hand iPhone 11 Pro, with a fresh battery.

It’s the smallest and lightest of the bunch, with a very good reputation for holding its charge.

What do you guys think?

    My mom has that phone and the reason she has an upgraded is because it still works fine. That’s usually what triggers most people to update… You would need to be compelled to upgrade because you’re not getting what you need out of your current device.

    Although I was tempted to grab her the iPhone SE 2022 now that it’s on sale at Walmart for so cheap.
