2022 iPhone SE Gen 3 will be the last 4.7 inch screen. Gen 4 is rumored to be a 6.1 inch.

Oh wow, that's small. I've had a Pixel 4a for the last few years and that was already small at 5.8 inches, compared to what other people carry around... Idk what OP's use case is... My Pixel was great, but I'd advise against buying a phone that doesn't get the security vulnerabilities fixed any more... And the successors have become larger and heavier. Idk maybe one if the flip-phones?

I’m still using my 2020 SE that has the same screen size. It’s needed a battery swap last year which set me back $50, but that was installed at the Apple Store.

Apple supports their phones for quite a few years. When they drop support for this phone I’ll be on the new small phone journey myself.

I'm really happy that Google took inspiration from that long support period. I personally don't like buying new phones. And at this point it's not like the next generation can make me a sandwich or anything new. I've upgraded recently and skipped several generations and like 4 years of technological advances and yeah, it looks almost the same, I run the same apps on it. It just has a better camera, plus the fingerprint reader is on the other side... I would have been fine with my old phone if that were still supported. My new one is nice, but it doesn't really change anything about my life.
