I wish I was an iPhone SE person. Since its re-launch in 2020, the entry model iPhone has transformed from a nod to relic-era sizing into a prime example of a ‘just what it needs to be and nothing more’ smartphone. 

Even as Apple has retained the smaller 4.7” size screen and the Touch ID authentication system, it has aggressively ramped the internals of the SE models – making them incredibly performant per dollar. The 2022 model runs on the A15 Bionic chip, which also powers its top of the line iPhone 13 Pro. This is not a parts bin iPhone from a core computing perspective.
