I was a hardcore SE user, liked the smaller size and didn’t use much.

But FaceId is worth going for at least an 11. Total game changer.

SE is best bang for buck. If you "don't care about any features in particular" you do NOT need a 14. The 14 is much more expensive and you'll have to replace it in a few years anyway. Save your money. We have both SE's and 13's in our family and the SE is a very nice phone for the money. In my view the navigation using the home button on the SE is easier than all the swiping you have to do with the fancier phones. I might downgrade from my 13 to an SE next time.

Just traded an XR for a 14 base model. Far better phone. And they did give a lot for the trade in without seeing the XR. This was at a Verizon store.

My XR is on its last legs. I’m extremely rough on my phones so it has no trade-in value. I think I want to just pay cash for a new one. I don’t care much about any features in particular I just want the best value whether that’s an SE or a 14.
