My ideal SE: Updated camera with gyroscopic stabilization.

No camera bump. Instead, make phone slightly thicker and give larger battery.

Next, remove headphone jack, and Touch ID.

Include edge to edge screen like modern iPhones.

Have option for e-Ink or Mirasol screens, to improve battery life and make it easier to read in sunlight.

Kill switch for cellular baseband.

You actively want them to kill the headphone jack?!

It would ship with compatible Apple headphones, and I could buy an adapter. If it saves space for Face ID or something, that’d be a good trade-off for my personal taste

I'm not sure about including e-Ink, I feel like if people are outside they should be doing something other than staring at their phone...

You can have your barely readable display if you want, but other people want to be able to check their messages or read an article/book on their phone while exposed to sunlight. What's bad about that? Doesn't seem to me like staying inside and staring at your phone would be better.

I have the same feeling, and I know I should wean myself, but current displays are practically unusable in bright light. And when trying to take photos or read a book, it’d be nice to have options...
