I had a launch day delivery SE2 until the 14 launch. The battery life was abysmal by the end (charging mid day and again early evening, then plug it in overnight). Performance was adequate for my needs (I don't do mobile gaming) and the camera was fine for what it is (a "budget" iPhone, if such a thing exists). The back glass shattered about a week before the 14 launch (I really don't know how it happened -- one day it was fine, the next it's a spiderweb on the back) and the camera stopped working (plus the loss of environmental protection) -- that's why I got a new phone.
​
I got a great deal on a 14 (non-Pro), so I upgraded to that. I could live with plugging in the phone a few times a day (even if it was annoying on trips), but otherwise the phone performed fine.

damn what case were you using when the glass broke?

A case by Moment. It looks VERY similar to their "Rugged Case" (which is rather ironic), but it's entirely possible they redesigned the case I had in the past two years.
​
I did not yet buy a Moment case for my 14 (I'm using a Speck case on it), but may get a Moment case in a couple months for the 14 so I can use my Moment lenses. But the Moment case will only be a "I'm using the lenses" case, not my every day case.

that case look so clean actually, its weird that a phone like the SE would break from a small drop but maybe it was at a weird angle. however my rhinoshield bumper case is probably the best case out there i cant lie, clicky buttons, good backplate designs and excellent drop protection. having dedicated lenses makes sense for the SE tho
