I’m one uses the SE 16 every day in last 6 yrs (buyed at D1).
7 SEs, 2 screen replacement (Home Button fail every 3/4 weeks), 3 battery replacement, everything on warranty.
Previous I had a 5s, only ‘cause it was new at half price in 2013; but the best one, the Nokia 3310 of Apple, for me, was my white 4S, better then my first white 3Gs.
So I owned only small iPhones, just one 6 buyed for two weeks in march 2016 ‘cause SE 16 wasn’t still avalaible.
Refused every single iPhone from 6 to SE3 (only one I save from that family was the 8 gold for the color, not for the phone), and from X to 11.
12/13 with mini are the real iPhone 4/4S/5/5S/SE iPhones, but prices (and battery for 12 mini) was the bug.
I really don’t understand who could buy a SE 22 if it is not necessary for its small price, for me is just an older phone, from 2015.
Battery? iOS is a bug with a drain battery giganormus bug from iOS 13, and Apple sell a 2015 capable battery for 2022 os and chip.
A15 on a A8 case made for?
Every SE 16 I owned fail the rear superior “glass” cause A9 became too hot: with iOS 9~iOS 15. 5 case was the phisical limit for new chip and battery, and iOS degrade in years is the final point.
I hope everyone who want a small iPhone could buy a new/used mini, 12/13; everything else just make e Apple glorious of selling old hw with new chip.
Apple want a cheap target phone? Make a mini one, nor a mini with 859€ entry target or 2015 old phone with A15 at 550€. I don’t think Apple had not resource to develop a new cheap mini phone, is just too jealous of the revenue of s*it hw.
