Makes sense, but I am buying unlocked phones so I do not have the same type of incentives that you do.
I know some people do AT for a living so having the latest phone can be an essential part of the business.

I really do get a crazy good price on a new phone from my employer. Part of that is based on trading in my old phone. So, this year, for example, I’ll get much more for trading in a 12 than I would for trading in an 11 or an SE, which in turn, reduces the price on the new phone. So staying with the current model pays off.

I understand what you’re saying, but I like my devices to run fast. Patience is not one of my greatest virtues. So, is there any app that wouldn’t run on the SE? Probably not. Will those apps run faster on a 13 mini? Undoubtedly. And personally, that’s something I care about. Not saying everyone has to care about that, but I do. Also, as Apple does more with screen recognition, AI, and spatial audio, the more powerful phones will be able to make better use of those features.

I find the SE very responsive, and sometimes users do not need the latest phones to accomplish the tasks they need. Is there an app that you can’t run on the SE? Apple is like any other company in that they can’t produce something new every year that no one has seen before. Sometimes, it is just upgrades. There is nothing wrong with that, but it is a good idea to pause and ask yourself if this is really something worth buying based on your own needs. The older iPad 5th generation was something new that I had not used before, and I wanted something with better sound quality.

I have the 12 mini, and I’ll probably upgrade to the 13 mini, but only because I get a good upgrade price through my employer. Were it not for that, I’d probably not upgrade. I just can’t justify switching to the SE, because it’s got so much less power than the other phones.
