Hello everyone. I just bought a new Iphone 2022. Only reason was that Apple discontinued OS support on the SE 2016. The other reason was that it was getting tougher to get a new battery.
I loved the size. I loved that I could stick in in my pocket. On the 2022 I can barely get it into my pocket. I have an Otto Defender on it so maybe that's making it bulky. Any other options to protect it?

I'm 52 years old so I grew up the first 30 years of my life without a cell phone. I'm really not addicted to them. Too bad this might be the last small phone. Not sure what I'll do in the future if I cannot just put it in my pocket.
Anyways, just like to hear your generally thoughts on if you're happy with your SE 2022.

I'm assuming the battery life is going to be better. The phone looks a little faster.

Any general thoughts?

Im loving it so far, the phone is small and compact, smallest you can buy today. Your case is definitely making it bulky. Turn up the font size to the max, it’s in settings~display~font size. Expect good battery life compared to the 2016 se as well as better camera and performance. I personally have the 2020 version and I came from a 6.7 inch display. Took me a week to adjust to the keyboard. No more youtube on the phone, not that I watched it much anyway. Enjoy it and good luck

12 mini and 13 mini are actually smaller.
