So Why Upgrade to the SE 2? ➹

No surprises here, the new SE looks just like we expected.

But to be honest, I’m sad that the old, smaller form factor is gone, since I much preferred the old SE to the new iPhone 8-ish SE 2 (which, incidentally, does not have a headphone jack).

All in all, I don’t regret (at all) having bought an “original” refurbished SE for my eldest last month - it is still a much smaller, nicer and manageable phone, even if the SE 2 ships with more recent hardware.

In fact, I suspect the original SE is going to be even more sought after in the second hand market…
