same boat here. there's hope if iphone 8 goes bezel-less that they can fit a 5" screen in a form factor not significantly bigger than a se, but it's speculation for now. I skipped the SE tho because why pay flagship prices for previous gen hardware? if a new se appears it needs to be on current-gen hardware or at a significant lesser price (europe pricing is mad btw)

I'm committed to the app store, but if the apple offering doesn't change I'm gonna jump to android right after the 8 announcement. googling around the samsung a3 seems a solid midrange offer (albeit I'm worried about operating system not getting updates) for the pocketable for factor
