Maybe you’re in the minority; but you’re not alone. I went the hassle of signing in on mobile just to upvote you! Sincerely from a 13 mini user, still grumpy about having to give up my se 1.

Shoutout to Richard Feynman! I didn’t immediately see his name appear on the page; but once I began reading his words, I glanced at the URL and I see, yes, it is a Feynman lecturer! Lucid and clear; slicing through obscure jargon in a fun and playful—but masterful—way; Feynman totally rocks and is worth reading further!

Precisely that and I couldn’t agree more. I even ditched my case about a year ago—live for today.

The hardest thing is the strain the whole experience puts on my relationships. I already used up all my fiancé’s patience with my chronic melancholy about my perfectly functional but ultimately doomed phone; and end of life hasn't even happened yet.

Seeing iOS 12.5.7 was bittersweet, a glimmer of hope, a reason to hold on.

Please accept my sympathy. I do understand and soon enough I'll be in the same predicament. Every iOS 15 patch feels like a gift. I seriously don't know what I'm going do when iOS 15 becomes end of life; there aren't any modern phones that have my critical—and arguably reasonable—hardware requirements.

Excellent to see a fellow SE user! I still happily run my iPhone SE (1st generation). I might take 5 minutes to boot Notion or run out memory and crash when I try to boot Amazon; but, my EarPods pair instantly—I just plug my 3.5 mm jack in my 3.5 mm port and then I can freely listen to music or do a phone call (works every time)! Also, I can easily swap connections from my laptop to my phone with the same workflow—simple (but sadly not futureproof).
