I held on for so long, but even with a healthy battery, modern apps just crush it. I'd open Uber and go from 100% to 60% by the time my ride arrived. Caved and bought the new SE and mostly hate it in all its giant rounded slipperiness.

SE is not glued inside like newer models and it is easy to work on. New battery set with tools is only $9 on Ali.
