I'm not sure social networks and most modern sites or apps qualifies as light-usage nowadays. Browsing Reddit or Facebook put my pro to its knees. The difference of CPU speed in phones is clearly visible for consumers (but maybe you don't notice it if you only use iPhones, because an SE from 2015 is still fast, but try an Android phone from that period).

That’s because new Reddit is laden with ads and JS and crap. Try https://old.reddit.com

Or one of any third-party native iOS apps (Apollo[0] is my preference) that are both faster and feel better than the official app and mobile site.

I love Apollo but I am very annoyed that they don't allow side scrolling between posts. I just find that much easier to do and it somehow bothers me when I don't have it.
