Apparently it's not that small, sadly :( But it might be the only one I can buy as my iPhone SE ages out of the support window soon.

It's said to be smaller than the new SE and just a couple of millimeters bigger than the original SE.

It's closer in size to the new iPhone SE than the old one :(

It's 8 millimeters taller and 6 millimeters wider than the original SE, assuming the leaks are true, of course.

That's a couple more millimeters than I think I would have preferred, but I guess we'll see when it comes out how it feels in-hand.

Such a rumor has been circling every year since the original iPhone SE was released.

I do still really hope so though...

I finally bit the bullet and upgraded from a SE, compromising on the size of the phone. I already notice increased wrist stress and place more sideways weight than is optimal on my pinky (to hold the phone up but also be able to reach single-handed).

So, knowing how life works, we can guarantee that Apple will release a small form factor phone as part of their next offering ;)
