Have you tried the iPhone SE 1st gen ? Lighter, better processor and screen but almost same design. It’s only 9.5yo and still works perfectly, you can find plenty second hand for 100€.
I was comparing models and probably the “next similar” would be an 16e but I really don’t want the “apple intelligence” - I’ve got my own thanks.
It’s a pity that the SE is going the way of the dodo and dinos - much better phone than a mini-tablet. I still miss my iPhone 3 and the rounded corners and solid aluminium back. Good times.
Other iPhone models are giant walkie-talkies for me. They need one hand to hold them and another to type text or slide the screen.
PS: It was a dirt cheap price as the selling guy needs money for iPhone 16
