I'm with you. I never upgraded from 11 Pro. Every year I ask myself if there's anything worth upgrading to and so far there hasn't been enough to tempt me. The design and size alone are perfect for me.Since I'm still rocking my 11 Pro I have to come into all these kinds of threads that feed my bias and say oh yeaaaah best phone ever!
I have devices with more powerful chips as well as 120Hz screens elsewhere so I know how little I'm missing out on. The camera is also still nice enough considering the relatively small bump (back then we thought it was huge!) and I believe it was the first series with the wide angle that is oh so useful sometimes.
It'll be replaced either if i break or lose it, or when Apple sadly cuts iOS support.
I don’t want to downgrade, but I would love if the next phone went back to iPhone 11 Pro design.
Wait a few years, industrial design is cyclical more often than not. I loved my 11PM but my 15+ is a really nice phone to hold, nicer than I thought it would be.I kinda miss the 11 Pro series of iPhones. The curved sides with the matte finish on the back makes it such a premium feeling device. I might downgrade my 15 for a 11 Pro Max but I’m still on the fence about it. When I do the math, I’ll lose some money with this move but whatever, you know?
I’m wondering if anyone has downgraded before or had the feeling to do so?
I just ordered a 13 mini, but I already know that I'll miss the round edges of my SE2020.Regularly. But currently my 13 mini is a good halfway house between the halcyon days of OGSE and today’s heavy slabs with distended blisters on the back and giant slots cut into the screen 👍
Try making the phone screen black and white in accessibility settings. It makes it much less fun!Love that others feel this too! For a while now I’ve been looking to downgrading my 13 to an 8 from my cousin. I love the smaller form factor, the home button and the design and I feel like this “simpler” (it’s all relative) might help me turn down my Screen Time and free myself from my smartphone obsession. Which is strange considering I’ve always wanted to upgrade to a Pro Max. Might look into a refurbished SE 2 or 3 though, they might have longer software support and value.
I have an OG SE that I would really love to use but sadly it hace only 16GB that is like 10GB free after system files an just like 5GB after apps.. just impossible to use.
I really liked. The design and all
Don’t see any reason why you can't continue use it as long as you don't care about the latest iOS features and it serves your needs.8 Plus -> 2022 SE feels like a downgrade to me. A shame that the 8 Plus has to be discarded - feels like it should have plenty of life left in it.

Did you just describe a 13 mini?Bought XR in 2019. Had 6 before that. FaceID is nice and battery life has been excellent. Other than that I would gladly go back to a smaller thinner iPhone. This XR is uncomfortable to use day-to-day. Too big, too heavy and slippery without a case. Using case makes it even bigger. There was something sleek about iPhones before. Kinda miss that.
Edit: Having said that, I do not like rounded edges. Not on XR not on 6. Before 6 I had iPhone 4s. Still my favorite. Always wanted to have 5/5S/OGSE. I wish they made a model with that body but with full sized screen with notch/pill. That would be so sleek.
