Apple is missing out by not placing a fingerprint reader on the apple logo on the back of the case. So stupid.

Masks are still a thing, and while I have a 12 mini, it doesn’t open with my masked face (although it’s fine when I’m wearing sunglasses, weirdly enough). The fact that it _can_ open with a masked face makes me question the security of face detection.

I want my fingerprint sensor back. Masks will not be going away ( corona resurgence and potentially a monkey pox pandemic anyone? )

To this end, I think the SE is a great phone, outside of its size. It should be smaller. Hell, the 12 mini could’ve been even smaller but no dice.

I’ll probably not buy another phone until a much smaller one is released. I will even go to Android based phones if one releases in three or four years

It’s not like there are plenty of small androids around… It seems that the best phone today is SE (old model with iPhone 4 design). Not sure if it’s still supported or sold, but it should be powerful enough to support calls and sms with enough frame rate.
Masks have gone away already. It's time to move on. Monkeypox requires you to wear a mask on your ass, so that won't interfere with FaceID operation.
Maybe for you, in the YSA. Not do for many other countries
