I am so sad that the SE line seems dead. Truly wonderful to be able to hand everything on the phone with one hand and also be able to keep it in a normalsized pocket without much fuss. :-(

current SE user here. I cannot agree more.

It’s kind off topic, but what’s make me more sad is since iOS12 update, my battery die so fast!! The update rendered my phone almost unusable!

Is it just me? Or is this Apple’s strategy to drive people to buy shiny-new iPhone?

another SE here. battery is fine with iOS 12. sounds like battery isn't at her peak. my wife just replaced her phones battery (2+ yo iPhone 7 and it suddenly keeps almost a day of intense usage from constant use of charger)

SE is one of the last modern phone < avg. hand.

Likewise. I dream of a day when apple starts a subsidiary that sells phones of the SE size for people who want them.

If they wouldn't want to dilute their brand, perhaps they call it a jobs-phone?

Yup.. I was so frustrated with my iphoneX that I wanted to return it.. But I was also frustrated with the performance of y previous one.

There is "reachability", which works better on the iphonex than on the previous ones, however the UI of apps is utter insane, and all the important stuff in in the top, and when doing the reachability gesture in for example instagram, it registers a tap.
