Yep. I’m spoiled because that was my intro to the iPhone. I would never buy/own/use one of those larger models.
I know a future SE will be a 12 mini sized thing, minus all the higher-end specs/features. Until then, the current SE (or a severely discounted 12 mini) is the only iPhone I’d ever buy. Size is most of it, but I also have zero need/desire to spend $999+ on a phone. That’s Mac money. I top out at $399 on a phone. Maybe $499 if the flagship mini ever dropped that low.
Under $500 and/or 5”…Paul’s only two iPhone requirements. Everything else is negotiable.
