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I’m desperate for an iPhone that isnt quite as outdated as the SE but also slim and light, with “true” all day battery life, unlike the lofty claims Apple makes.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

    Just to say I’ve got the exact same one as you and when in 2022 it got a bit too bartered I bought a refurb of the same one. I like the home button, don’t need anything snazzy and like the size. I’ll be staying with the home button line for as long as I can, although I wish they’d do a bit more of an upgrade when bringing out the SE, one hour extra battery life isn’t much of an upgrade
