@ewenmcneill@cloudisland.nz For my sins I have a 7+, because I wanted (and still want) the bigger screen size, so any of the SE models would be a shrink I don't want. Also awkwardly, the 7 → 8 transition is one I'd like to avoid because that's the Touch ID to facial recognition switch, and I expect to like Touch ID much better for idiosyncratic reasons.
(Having looked at this last year I think I don't want the current giant models; the current 'smaller' ones are basically 7+ size now, esp for the screen.)

@cks@mastodon.social the iPhone 8 / SE 2 / SE 3 is still Touch ID. It’s the reason I’ve stuck with that range too. (IIRC the 8 / 10 split, which both came the same year, was the Touch ID vs Face ID change, with the 10 as Face ID.)
But yeah if you want “larger than base 7/8 and Touch ID” then I don’t think there’s any phone models in the last 5 years that have both features. So you’d be into “least bad” choices.
(I ended up sticking with smaller phones and using smaller tablets for extended reading.)
