3. I use an iPhone SE third generation. It cost a bit, though I bought it outright, not on a plan.

Yes, the screen is small but I swore I wouldn't use it for things that should be done on a computer. Broke that rule real fast. The phone works nicely when I am on the easy chair.

The BIG DEAL for me is that I am so nearsighted that I can read the phone comfortably by taking my glasses off. One foot or so IS my distant vision. That will change when I ever get new lenses from the eye doctor.
