> the SE really is a step too far down for me

Down? What does the mini have that the SE doesn’t?

For me, and this is irritating, magsafe. All my other devices have it and the peripherals are better with it.

I agonized over this dumb thing but am terribly happy with my mini, in ways I haven’t been since the original SE.

Magsafe, Face Id, nearly full-screen display, and a better camera array (I think?).

>Face Id

I switched from an iphone 7 to a 13 mini and I dearly miss touch ID. It worked a lot better than face id IMO. When the new SE was announced just months after I got the mini I was pretty bummed.

FaceID has been a revelation for me. TouchID was rather touchy... If my finger was a bit damp it didn't read. If my skin was too dry, it wouldn't read. FaceID hasn't failed me yet.

I've also experienced some flakiness with Touch ID, bit Face ID has been even worse. It frequently fails when a strand of loose hair partially covers my face.
