Hello everyone. I just bought a new Iphone 2022. Only reason was that Apple discontinued OS support on the SE 2016. The other reason was that it was getting tougher to get a new battery.
I loved the size. I loved that I could stick in in my pocket. On the 2022 I can barely get it into my pocket. I have an Otto Defender on it so maybe that’s making it bulky. Any other options to protect it?

I’m 52 years old so I grew up the first 30 years of my life without a cell phone. I’m really not addicted to them. Too bad this might be the last small phone. Not sure what I’ll do in the future if I cannot just put it in my pocket.
Anyways, just like to hear your generally thoughts on if you’re happy with your SE 2022.

I’m assuming the battery life is going to be better. The phone looks a little faster.

Any general thoughts?

    I’m still using my SE1, though my main phone is an SE2. The SE1 is still usable, in my opinion, and an Apple-replaced battery is still available for £65. There are also third-party batteries, some of which are trustworthy.

    I intend to buy an SE3 soon but there’s no doubt that the original SE is unbeatable for pocketability and ease of one-handed use, compared to the later SE versions.
