I was sure if I wanted the old design I had to buy it before the next iPhone. But yeah, standing still isn't really a good look for a tech company... Just because I don't want to use my face as a password or talk to a virtual assistant, or hold a phone that slips out of my hand and smashes on the ground due to rounded edges doesn't mean the iPhone X/XS/XR aren't great phones....
Definitely great phones, but I still prefer the iPhone SE size. If they upgrade the SE with the innards of the XR + with same cameras + full front screen, it would be perfection.
