The fourth-generation iPhone SE will have an iPhone 15 Pro-style Action Button, among several other significant new features, according to the leaker...
I take pictures. I use apps. I listen to podcasts. If I want to watch something I typically use my TV , laptop, or iPad. But I don’t want a monstrosity in my pocket. Insert penis size joke here
Or they’re like multiple people in my family that will get a phone, use it for 5-6 years, and this just happens to be when they’re deciding to upgrade.
If I want to watch Netflix I go to my couch and use the TV. The mini is perfectly fine for short <15 minute videos, anything longer than that I just want to watch on the tv anyways.
All my apps work perfectly fine, the camera is still great, I can view my photos fine, and I can use basically every website. There’s nothing I want to do that requires a larger screen.
I also have a Pixel Pro and I cannot imagine lugging that bear around, though it is nice for watching video on, I still don’t like watching long video on it.
I’ll say the only downside to the small screen is reading full width PDFs, which also sucks on the pixel and any other phone (because phones are smaller than paper, even big phones).
Well I too had the first iPhone just a few weeks after launch and the 4 before switch to various androids and now back to iPhone.
Watching content back then wasn’t as widespread as today so in that sense it’s quite useless imo.
Watching a 1080/4k on YouTube or watching a show on Netflix/Apple TV+ on such a small form factor seems like an annoyance.
Besides, my phone is what I use for 95% of my computing needs. Banking, identification.
The mini seems useless, how so you even watch content on a screen that small?
Not everyone is glued to their phone 24/7
That is true. But having such a powerful computer using it for calls and texts seems unnecessary. No need getting such an expensive phone for that.
Who are you to say what people need their phones for?
You don’t need a good phone to watch videos at all, so I’m not even sure why that’s the example you chose to fight about.

There isn’t enough space for one that short
I don’t get what you are saying. I use it for loads of stuff and have never found the size a problem.

I watch content on a big TV with my wife
Kirk Van Houten: “I watch content in a racing car! Do you?”
Homer: “I watch content on a big TV with my wife.”
Kirk: “… Oh. Yeah.”
It’s the perfect size for me. It actually fits in my pocket and it’s not my primary device for watching video.
It’s actually a decent sized display.

The first several iPhone models were even smaller. I say this as someone who misses my last 16:9 6" phone: 5.4" is definitely not useless.
