Still rocking my iPhone SE. Gonna keep using it until it no longer charges, the headphone port dies, or Apple stops putting out iOS updates for it.
Wish the modem was better for international travel.
Humorously with respect to the article I do typically use Bluetooth headphones with it, except when flying as planes still have a headphone jack and I travel so light I won’t take two pairs.
I don’t have such issues on iOS 12 and my SE.
Of course “light usage” may be different between us...
It's small, is usable as a phone and gps, and has a headphone jack (something I never thought I'd consider a feature...).
Why in the world would I change?
