  1. The only size I would consider would be 5,8 inches. But I'm not giving up hope for an IPhone SE2 yet. For an Xs with 256 GB could possibly come into question. As soon as it is available in the Munich Apple Store, I will take a close look at it and check that it is easy to handle. If I can operate it with one hand, I'll buy one. But then I'll keep my SE anyway. The price is exorbitantly high at € 1319, but my experience with the resale values ​​of my former IPhones (IPhone 1… IPhone 6) has always been very good. And as a sworn iPhone fan, I simply can't get excited about any other smartphone. For surfing etc. I can use my iPad 9,7 2018.
