man I'd consider it if they updated the screen. don't even care for the size. I upgraded from the SE2 to the 12 Mini and the screen is just so much better and that's what I'm looking at all day.
Got a tip for us?

Third-Generation iPhone SE Teardown Reveals Larger Battery Capacity and Snapdragon X57 Modem

I hope the X57 modem is Not like the X55, which requires a 4G connection to authenticate before it can operate on 5G channels; so, if your service had a 5G signal in the area, but no 4G signal, then you could Not connect to your service, and thus you would have No signal, while those with X60 or higher modems would. I also wonder if it has the X55’s higher power draw and lower 5G signal quality.

I'd hazard that the target market for iPhone SE is not people who look at their phones all day.
Obviously they do this to upsell people. Even cheapo Android phones have better screens.
The Fifth Gen iPod Nano only had 105mAh battery and could manage a whopping 24 hours audio playback, so seems plausible.
Was iPhone 13 mini not available at the time or you chose iPhone 12 mini due to the price?
Waiting for real world battery test [Mrwhosetheboss, other YouTube creators] comparing iPhone 8, iPhone SE 2020, iPhone SE 2022 with other iPhone models...
I sincerely hope not, I hope for an iPhone 13 design but same bezels and Touch ID etc so....same screen as SE3
Indeed. Towards the end of its life my 8 would last a day with light usage. My SE hasn't been charged for two days and is still at 53%.
Any improvements are worthwhile.
I have a 2020 iPhone SE, after 6, 7, and 8. I recently bought a OnePlus 8T to replace an underpowered Android tablet.
While I can see the OLED advantage at home, it doesn't seem that great when I'm out in the sunlight. The size of the display helps with the battery capacity but the Snapdragon 865 doesn't seem to be a better performer than the A13, but the ~4000 mAh battery makes it seem more efficient.
When the right deal arrives, I'll definitely replace the 2020 SE with the 2022 model.

The X55 supports 5G SA... I don't believe the 12 series did at launch, but they were later updated to add the capability. That's the same modem used in the S20 series.
