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?

You should know that Apple has not discontinued OS support on the iPhone SE 2016 yet. It can't run iOS 16 or newer, but it's still getting updates for apps and security on iOS 15 today.

But if you just want a newer iPhone without gimmicks and you're okay with no headphone jack, the new SE is great.
