The last small flagship (iPhone 13 mini) sold poorly, but it was much more expensive than the SE2. This was at the tail end of covid, but before faceid worked with masks, so the SE's touch id was a huge selling point.
Other than that and the camera, the only functional difference I can find are that the SE line is still missing the UWB antenna.
I'd happily upgrade to a newer small iPhone if they made one. As it is, it looks like the only option is repeatedly repairing my 13 mini (and dealing with the hilariously bad 5G battery drain forever) or downgrading to a newer SE3.
I know there are a lot of people in this boat. I predict they'll produce another small phone in a few years. It'll sell well due to pent up demand, and someone will be declared a genius for selling 100M's of extra phones that year.

I’d wish this too. I’m afraid that Apple over the next few year would become more risk averse then ever before.
Also old Execs are leaving and retiring - so less people with hands on experience how to start new products VS keeping lights on.
