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I’m desperate for an iPhone that isnt quite as outdated as the SE but also slim and light, with “true” all day battery life, unlike the lofty claims Apple makes.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?
I upgraded from an Iphone 7 go an Iphone 15 PM recently and the battery life is definitely the biggest difference. I also have a 2020 SE I use at home to play certain games that my 7 can’t (due to nonstop crashing), and the biggest difference I’ve noticed between my 15 PM and the 7/SE is the substantial battery life improvement and zero latency/smooth user experience. I’ve been using this tiny little Iphone 7 for the last 7 years and it took me no more than 2-3 days to get used to the size of the Iphone 15 PM. For a phone of this size, the 15 PM is actually pretty light and has been amazing to use so far. I will admit the 7/SE is more comfortable to hold though. But it’s really not that big of a deal
