4S
5S
SE (1st gen)
8
12 Mini
13 Mini
15 Pro

I think this is right? The 8 was the first "big" iPhone I got, having resisted the 6 and 7 models in favor of the SE. I just hated the idea of phones that were a big departure from the easy one-handed fit of the early ones. And when the Minis came out I got both of them in turn. I finally buckled and got a 15 Pro because the battery life on the 13 Mini was just really hard to live with. Been very happy with it, though I still find it awkward to juggle one-handed and bulky in the pocket.

I still actually have my SE 1st gen. sitting here in a drawer, and every once in a while I power it up and am kind of blown away by how tiny and compact it is. What I truly truly wish is that the phone carriers would let you activate a second phone with the same number. If that was the case, I'd definitely keep the SE activated and pop it into my pocket when going out for an evening, taking a walk, stuff like that.

Are moving from se fully to regular 17?

Trying to get se 2022 but don’t know where. Want to ditch 15 pro into the drawer, because i still can’t sleep missing apple pay touch id - face id wallet creates a lot of friction in my daily life.

I would compensate for se with ipad mini 7 for home use.

Yeah, the SE 2022 needs to be charged 3x a day now despite light use (85% battery health). Granted, it's mostly my CGM that drains the battery. I have AC+ on it so I'm waiting for it to drop below 80% to get the battery replaced as I like the form factor and plan to keep it.

I was originally planning to just use the 17 Pro but it's just too darned thick and heavy for my comfort. Tried the Air and it was too big so now I'm opting for the 17.
