New phone a-coming

[carbonel]

I recently saw an advertisement for the new iPhone SE, and I knew it was time to replace my current phone.

My phone history has been based on trying to get devices that are small enough to fit comfortably in my pocket. I was very grumpy when the iPhone 6 came out, with its options for large and very large sizes; so I was quite pleased that Apple listened to the furor and provided a smaller option.

The new iPhone SE came out just in time, because my current iPhone SE (iOS 6 vs. 11 for the current one, more or less) has been getting increasingly creaky. It should arrive next week. It's slightly larger than the current iPhone, but it's the smallest one Apple makes.

I hope there will be something analogous a few years from now when I'm looking to replace it.

May your new phone arrive in timely fashion!

(And, when it comes time for a newer phone, may the small form factor phone not have been replaced by the Apple Watch XL+!)

My approach is to try to find clothes with pockets that are big enough to fit my phone. It's not easy, though!

I mostly wear chinos in summer and jeans in winter, both generally from Lands' End. They have decent-sized pockets, but not cargo pockets, and I'm fine with that being a limiting factor.
