The SE has the same processor as the 6s so Apple will end updates for both at the same time. Based on previous Apple updates, I project that the last full iOS release for these phones will be in 2019 and all updates will cease by the summer of 2020. If you go for the SE, buy the 128 GB version to fit all apps, podcasts, books, and music files.
Other carriers other than the majors offer cheaper cell phone service. If you do not use a lot of data, you could easily find a cheaper cell phone plan for less than $20 a month, including taxes. I have this arrangement with Xfinity. If you have Comcast cable, the company offers a gig of data for $12 with calls and text for free. If you are a new phone customer, they sometimes offer good discounts on new iPhones. If you are not with Comcast, they can be cost competitive. When I came to the store for my phone service, they were offering new customers $19.99 a month internet for a year with free installation. With the savings with a mobile virtual network operator, you could get a newer phone or one with more storage.
