Realistically nobody still uses the original iPhone SE now.

You can run Windows 10 on a Centrino laptop from 2010 but you're not gonna have a good time.

According to various iOS app stats, the 1st generation iPhone SE is about 3-5% of the fleet, making it roughly as popular as the iPhone 11.

Why not? My old boss was rocking an iPhone 6 as recently as January, and that came out two years earlier — in 2014.

While it's not my daily driver, I have a launch day iPhone 5 that I use at least once a week. It's from 2012.

You can run Windows 10 on a Centrino laptop from 2010 but you're not gonna have a good time.

The iPhone SE was launched in 2016, not 2010.

I’m still using my iPhone 6 Plus, replaced the battery earlier this year and the only annoying thing is I can’t copy any paste from one website to another, instead I need to copy to notes because the pages will reload (due to 1GB of RAM I’m guessing)

Another 2016 SE user. Only reason I’ve got SE2020 which haven’t arrived yet is storage and me seeing worse. (My SE is 16GB)

Anecdata: I do. Bought it second hand, it's about to receive iOS 14, and I don't have any performance issues, it still works very well.

Well actually Windows 10 runs quite well on my circa 2010 Dell Core 2 Duo 2.66Ghz laptop with 8GB of RAM

That's a 3000$+ laptop at the time, makes me miss the portability of laptops.

But can you do anything productive on that thing now? How is the battery life?

Of course the battery sucks. But it’s easy to find a new battery if I cared. Also it’s extremely heavy. Before I retired it early this year. It was a computer that sat next to my work computer to do personal things on - Office 365, Chrome, etc.

It was the company laptop until 2012. The company folded and they sold everything really cheaply.

It could transcode one or two 720p streams simultaneously Witt Plex.

Why? I used it until a month ago, and my son still uses it. Battery changed (29€) and it's still a good phone (camera is a bit dated, but for the rest it can definitely be used). I know many people still using it (for the format).

I use the smallest iPhone and the biggest iPad, just because I feel they are the best form factors for my needs. A friend of mine would love to be able to use only an iPad mini, if only he could send and receive phone calls.

I don’t upgrade because there is nothing wrong with these devices. And they have a jack :)

In reality, you’d be very wrong.

My wife is not the only one who’s holding on to hers “until Apple releases another one with the same form factor”.

(Not that this will happen anytime soon, if ever...)
