Bring Back the SE

Keeping SE supported fragments iOS market and burden the developers. iPhone 8 is now the low-cost iPhone roughly at SE price point with a screen size that you kind of have to support anyway.

It's form factor too, not just price point. The form factor is the only reason I switched from Android, and I'd happily pay the full iPhone 11 price for a phone the size of an SE with iPhone 11 internals.

Removing the SE fragments the user base. I'll go to another hardware vendor to keep a hand-sized device.

Android has never had good support for small devices, so I don't think that's a huge risk.

The Android phones in 2013 were a pretty good size, small by today's standards.

Android on the Jelly Pro was usable but recharging 2-3 times per day was not. Just a little bit bigger, please, to support a bigger battery and a slightly larger on-screen keyboard.
