The first SE (iPhone 5 hardware) and the current mini have a great hardware design.

All of the other SEs I would never consider, and the mini is likely EOL’d. Which is sad, because the mini is my favorite iPhone of all time.

What makes you thing the mini is EOL? I know it didn't sell that well, but that would surprise me. I think at worst they'll use start using the current mini form factor for a new SE.

Just a feeling - they barely mentioned it at the last iPhone event, sales numbers are purportedly poor.

Maybe they’ll bring the body back as an SE, but we likely won’t have a high-end small phone again.

You think the iPhone 13 Mini will be the last of the line? I doubt it.

I hope you're right of course, but I suspect you're not: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=iphone+mini+discontinued&ia=web
