The 2022 iPhone SE still feels amazing to use (physically)!

As someone who has a 2022 iPhone SE since its original launch date, I still think it’s a great iPhone with a no-nonsense form factor. The best part about this iPhone is that it feels physically easy to use and straightforward.

Here’s the funny part. For whatever reason, the keyboard on this 4.7 inch iPhone feels far easier and better to type on with two thumbs or with one handed mode than the 6.1/6.3 inch iPhone models like the iPhone 15/16/17 series. I’ve consistently made less typos on the 4.7 inch iPhone than a 6.1 inch modern iPhone. Something about the new keyboard feels off and doesn’t seem to always hit right. This might be some sort of design issue. Here’s also the weirdest part. The iPhone 11 which is a 6.1 inch iPhone ACTUALLY feels nice to type on and I’ve also made very few typos on that model. There’s something up with the modern iPhone keyboards, lmfao.

Anyways, using the 2022 iPhone SE has been great with one hand use. Reachability, where you swipe on the home button in any direction twice always works. The Camera is fine although it is overprocessed and worse than the 2020 iPhone SE which had the best photos I’ve ever seen.

The battery is decent and it can be fast charged up to 15 Watts maximum with a 18 Watt Apple USB-C charger or of a higher wattage. So if you’re running low, charge it with a fast charger and you’ll get about 30-50% in about 20-35 mins.

Finally, it’s a great iPhone to keep things simple. Sometimes less is good. New iPhones have insane battery life but it’s also a demerit. You’ll be scrolling endlessly and wasting time on social media way too often. With the 2022 iPhone SE (and older), you’re kept in check to not waste battery on excessive usage on social media, YouTube or gaming for hours on end. Which is something really nice once in a while. This is my opinion though.

Just my two cents. 😂 How are all your iPhone SE devices holding up?

[PSA] Daily reminder that iOS 26 draws up to 10 watts due to the disgusting Liquid Glass effect on all iPhone models

See this video for reference:

https://youtu.be/1LnURQghMvQ

Apple should be embarrassed of iOS 26 and as of iOS 26.6 the Liquid Glass UI draws up so much fucking power when doing simple things. I have two 2020 iPhone SE models here with 84% battery health with one running iOS 18.7.8 and the other running iOS 26.6 and guess what? The 2020 iPhone SE running iOS 26.6 barely lasts for more than 2 hours and 40 minutes compared to 4 hours and 51 minutes running iOS 18.7.8 of screen on time.

If anyone is holding off on upgrading to iOS 26 and is still on iOS 18 or even older like iOS 16-17, now is your chance to upgrade to iOS 18.7.8 via OTA in the Settings app. Do so now or be forced to use such a shitty unoptimized iOS. 🤣

Thank goodness that idiot Alan Dye was removed from Apple. He was responsible for the POS battery draining iOS 26 release.

Farewell World Cup 2026 - Final World Cup Montage from Fox 😭

Just like that, the World Cup 2026 has come to a close and I wanted to share that footage Fox showed here. I hope everyone here had fun watching it all with your friends, family, randoms and so on. Now we see all the old guard World Cup players stepping down for good from Luka, Ronaldo, Neymar, Messi (potentially) and perhaps several more. The part where Cape Verde was eliminated and Luka was stepping down and from that point on really hits you in the feels with how fast it was coming to an end. 😭

These two days will be the last time we’ll see the FIFA 2026 World Cup Intro 😭

Today and Sunday will be the last time we’ll see this intro for the 2026 World Cup play out. Man, I remember seeing this intro and the first World Cup match back in June like it was yesterday. Time flies pretty quick…

Also it was funny seeing how people hated the intro compared to the 2022 Qatar World Cup intro and then it grew on them as we were approaching to the end lol.
