I had the original Jelly. Had high hopes of getting a small modern phone, with minimal features but no time wasting apps, but returned it.

Battery life was hours. It wasn’t safe to take to work because it’d be dead in an hour of listening to music on the commute.

Phone call quality was so poor my family and coworkers went mutiny. I could hear them fine but the mic was awful, apparently.

The screen was so, so small that it took a long time to type, and was fraught with mistakes. I realized there is such a thing as too small.

Every picture taken was uselessly blurry.

Overall it felt like the early 2000s.

I would greatly be willing to try again. I need to upgrade this iPhone SE. Call me crazy, but having a phone that fits in my pocket, no matter what I’m wearing - that’s the best feature a phone could have.

listening to audio should not drain your battery. i get an hour of audio even if my battery is down to 10%. it hardly takes more energy than what the phone consumes when idle.

if audio drains the battery then there is a serious design flaw

You might be in luck later this year — rumor is that the smallest model of “iPhone 12” will be almost the same case size as the classic SE.

Rumor is that Apple starts fake rumors so they can always surprise everyone. Actually, that rumor is completely made up just like every other rumor.

Feel like I have been hearing those rumors for years.
