Bloody love my XR, and would definitely consider getting a "new" version with updated internals.
The XR is the best iPhone I have owned. I really dislike the notch and Face ID, but I was able to overlook all of that because that phone functioned and had the battery life of a brand new phone literally 3+ years after I purchased it. I now have the 2022 SE (no complaints). You won’t hear me complain if they model the next SE after the XR. I’ll be all over it.
