If you have the original SE, and it is working fine other than the battery, you could get the battery replaced.
However, you will have a much better experience with a new phone. If you plan to store music on your phone, consider the 128 GB if that is offered. Otherwise, from your description, the basic 64GB should be enough.

I think I can live without LIDAR but it does sound clever. The main reason I plan on replacing my 6SE, which is still working well, is it’s poor battery life, especially when using apps like Duo Lingo. This may be of course because of its age!

So, with an app like superLidar or Seeing AI with its World Channel, you can detect objects and one of them, and I don’t recall which one, will tell you if there is a person with a mask or not wearing a mask, tell you how far away from you the object is. Like, a person in a line, etc. The blindness apps are just beginning to explore uses for it, so it is a feature in development. When I got the SE 2020, also called 2nd edition, I was impressed that it has stereo sound, which doesn’t mean much unless you just about put your nose on the screen, but it has a much fuller sound than the previous phones. Whether its battery life is better than the 13 mini, or about the same, I have no idea. But back to LIDAR, that is only on the 12 and 13 pro models anyway. I love the battery life I’m getting on my 13 pro; but I was in a good position to buy the phone and I know lots of people couldn’t put out that kind of money. I bought it partly for the LIDAR and frankly, haven’t used it for that. The sound and the recording quality on the 13 pro is excellent though. I would not be surprised if the microphones are as good in the SE 2022/3rd gen as in the 13 pro. If you search for iPhone SE 3rd gen specs, you can find out the exact battery size and then do a search for the 13 mini specs and compare the two.

I suspect the SE 2022 is going to meet my needs. What exactly is the LIDAR sensor? I rarely use my iphone as a camera and just want good battery life and a reasonable memory and good sound output, although I mostly use earphones with my iPhone. I also like the idea of it being smaller.

IN fact, if you were just touching the screen while VoiceOver is on, you wouldn’t know which iPhone you had, other than if it had a home button or not. Alan mentioned the SE 3rd generation available today, probably also will be known as the SE 2022; has the smaller screen, still has the home button and touch ID, and has the same chip as the 13, known as the A15 chip and will pretty much do everything the more expensive phones will do other than having the extra cameras and the LIDAR sensor. But, the LIDAR sensor is only on the pro models of the 12 and 13, which are at the top of the price range. Well, to be exact, the pro max phones are at the top of the price range and are quite large, then the pro models, which are larger than some, but unless you have really small hands, should be quite manageable. You really need to think about what features you want and how much memory. I’d encourage you to go to the apple.com site and check out the different models. https://www.apple.com/iphone/ Or, if you can, go in to an Apple store and get some hands on; but if you do that, make an appointment first.

Are there any of the newer models I should avoid or are they all equally accessible? I realise I am going to have to learn how to cope without a home button.
