Bring Back the SE

I wouldn't even call the SE compact. It's just normal. It's the size that Steve Jobs said fits comfortably in your hand, and since hand sizes haven't changed, it's still true today.

Wasn't that talking about the iPhone 4, before they added the extra row of icons on the 5 and SE form factor?

As is, I have no inclination to give up my SE, and if it fails I'll almost certainly pick up another off eBay or similar.

No, it was the iPhone 5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O99m7lebirE

It’s actually a bit bigger, the original iPhone was 3.5” screen and the iPhone 5 got taller.

I have to give up a bit of grip to get my thumb to the top corners of the screen, but it’s a lot better than anything else and I’d say worth the trade off for the extra space. Bigger than this I’m not convinced.

David Pogue's review of the original iPhone mentioned "the HUGE 3.5-inch screen" (his emphasis).

I noticed the other day that the SE/5s screen is exactly the dimension of a standard business card.
