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I’m desperate for an iPhone that isnt quite as outdated as the SE but also slim and light, with “true” all day battery life, unlike the lofty claims Apple makes.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?
I bought my SE on release with the intention of it lasting five years. Three years in and it looks good to last. This is my first iPhone, I moved from Android because I wanted to get away from the constant upgrading. Spending money every couple of years just to have a supported phone.
Spend a little more for an iPhone for better support.
