This is the case for me precisely - I’ve been dismayed at the “phablet” sizing trend, and leapt at the opportunity to keep my iPhone reasonably-sized - I’m on my second SE now and I’m kind of dreading what will happen when I need to eventually replace it.

I just want something small that will fit comfortably in my pocket, and I can use with one hand.

I owned 2 minis and would just replace screens and batteries whenever one got bad. Keep one in a drawer, take the broken one to the shop, rinse repeat.

I did this for years because I liked the form factor so much.

My new buying criteria for my iPhone is simply “buy the smallest one offered”.

But I’m willing to accept I’m not a big enough market segment to move the market.

The SE is a great phone, and a reasonable size. I will say ever more websites are starting to screwup their layouts on such "small" as indeed is iOS. Tiresome as hell
