I believe it has been announced that iOS 14 will support the same phones as iOS 13, has it not?
Well, iOS 14 will only be formally announced by Apple in WWDC, which is in June. Apple hasn’t mentioned that release name anywhere yet. So any announcements you may have seen on device support would be speculations or rumors.
The existence of iOS 14 hasn’t been announced let alone device support.

Has not been announced. But the 6S/SE are the oldest devices supported by iOS 13, so I won't be surprised if they're dropped.

Keep in mind that the old SE was still being sold by Apple until just a year and a half ago (discontinued in Sep 2018). Generally, their devices can be expected to be supported for several years after they were newly purchased. I would be quite surprised if iOS 14 drops it, and have some hope for the release after that even.

Meh, I have aphantasia and an SE...
Well, good for you? I don't know why my wife prefers the bigger screen, but I came to accept that she experiences the world differently than I do, and prefers the bigger screen.

Anecdote fight!
Size was a big part of it, but it was also that the SE was a really good design that should last for years. Up until this announcement, I was going to have the battery replaced on the SE. The bigger issue is if Apple will continue to support the 1st gen SE with iOS.
My wife prefer the bigger phones. She has aphantasia. I don't, and often hold visualizations of things I can't see.
It eventually dawned on me that people buy those things to attach to the back of their phone because you _couldn't_ safely hold and operate the bigger phone with a single hand without that attachment.
