Well that will be hugely disappointing if it turns out to be true. I really don't want to switch back to Android.

The form factor is still better than anything else I've encountered - enough thickness for a decent grip, and small enough. The very last thing I want is a phone that's a not so small any more, but 2mm thick, tablet.

I like how Apple is adding all this Screen Time monitoring tools in iOS 12 to help you deal with phone overuse, acting like they want to help us out, then at the same time the hardware team cranks out these progressively bigger and bigger phones.

"What do you call a phone that's bigger than Plus size? We call it the iPhone XS Max."

No, Phil, the word you were looking for is "Obese."

Oh well.

iPhone SE is gone

Thanks. I'm a bit surprised considering how popular it was, and the tech sites have been leaking hints of an SE 2 all year.

Leaves nothing in the range that's appealing.

Yeah, it's sad. The SE has been the nicest phone I've ever had. I can use it one handed! I'm not sure what I'll do yet. It should be supported for a few more years but now that they aren't selling it anymore I'm anticipating the inevitable "we didn't slow your phone down on purpose, honest" update.
