minus-squareAeronMelon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up65·2 days agoI’m really surprised by the lack of open-source OS choices. I’m just going to keep buying refurbished iPhone SEs until that becomes impractical. Then I’ll see what the market is like.

why iPhone SE?
Because the original SE is the smallest somewhat modern phone you can get.
Because, as with the Enough, it’s smaller. I can use it with one hand unlike any bigger phone. And the SE3 has eSIM, WiFi 6, and 5G. Apart from replacing the battery from time to time, it will continue to work for a long time.
