Would very much like to hear from users of iPhone se/2 who just got a mini.
I’m planning to downsize from an XS Max and would appreciate you thoughts. Thanks.
 
I’ve had both the original SE and the SE2020... any questions?
 
I’ve had both the original SE and the SE2020... any questions?

  1. Which phone feels better in your hand or your pocket for a small phone?
  2. How big a deal are you finding the vast difference in screen quality in day to day use so far? For example, I don't plan to watch movies on either device.
  3. Are you noticing any significant differences in responsiveness or speed (particularly the SE2020) compared to the mini.
Basically I am after some practical thoughts. I realize the mini has better tech across the board, so the above are more about usability questions as I'm mostly interested in going back to a smaller, more minimal phone.

Thanks!
 
A question for those coming from the SE1: If you turn off Auto-Brightness on both the SE1 and the mini (and also turn off True Tone on the mini), and set brightness to maximum on both, and then view this forum in Dark Mode on both devices, how does the brightness of the text compare between the two devices for you?

Apologies in advance for asking this question in multiple threads.
 
I would like to hear if there is any performance difference between SE2 and Mini. SE2 is cheaper and has TouchID, but performance is important to me because SE2 has A13 which should not be too much behind A14. i am confused.
