I've been repairing an old iPhone SE for quite a while now, holding out for Apple to listen to customers like me saying "I want a decent phone that fits in my pocket." This makes me so happy, just like when I held onto a 2015 macbook pro until they went back to a "regular" keyboard.

This new one is exactly the same size as the 6, 7, and 8 that have been available for years...what about it has changed the situation for you?

I guess I missed that. Seeing the 4.7 inch screen spec made me think it was smaller than Apple's other current phones, closer to the original SE.

Original SE:

123.8 mm (4.87 in) H

58.6 mm (2.31 in) W

7.6 mm (0.30 in) D

New 2020 SE:

138.4 mm (5.45 in) H

67.3 mm (2.65 in) W

7.3 mm (0.29 in) D
