Well I get it, the battery life can feel frustrating. I sure hope it’s true, that Apple’s chips are so power-efficient, that the small battery size is justified. But this is usually something you’ll only come to notice when you use the phone for a long time.
Out of the box, almost every new phone can feel great when it comes to battery life, but what’s the situation after a year, or two years of use?
I get how you feel about Apple’s pricing, I feel the same. To me SE feels like a midrange, and the SE3 pricing (when it first came out) felt really close to the flagship pricing, at least where I live, compared to the pricing of SE2 when it came out. (TBH anything 600$+ feels like a flagship to me haha xD)
I never realized that the basic iPhones (like 15) were the “midrange” ones. They have a flagship price in my eyes.
About the battery thing. I solved this by getting a cheap or midrange Samsung phone with a 5000mh (or something) battery, and I use it as my second phone. The battery of my iPhone SE2 just wasn’t reliable enough, no matter the power-efficient Apple chip in it. So far the Samsung battery feels great after a half a year, but I’ll be curious to see how it fares after a year or two.
