I understand I am in the minority, but I cant be alone. I would love a phone the size of the Iphone SE.  Just dusted off my old 5S so my toddler can use it when we dont want to bring along his ipad (yes, he is spoiled and yes, we limit his "screen-time" daily).  When I picked up the 5S, I remembered how much better it felt to use vs my Iphone7 and how much easier it was to carry. I am a large guy (with large hands) and I work with my hands and do spend some time having to crawl in under and over things. I find myself leaving the 7 in the truck way more often than the iphones I've previously had (4S, 5S).  I do however appreciate the camera, screen size, water resistance and battery life of the 7.
If they could make a phone with the dimensions of the SE (or smaller) and keep the screen (roughly) the size of the 7, I would buy one immediately. 
To keep the costs down and enable wireless charging, they could always do a plastic back panel with a stainless bezel like the 4.  I gladly would sacrifice device thickness for a better battery life and smaller overall footprint.       
Samsung is allegedly releasing a mini galaxy that has me tempted.  When I switched to Iphone, I swore I would never go back but the glitchy ios (like android always was but ios wasnt), mixed with a "bigger phones" sales model, is compelling me to look at the competition again.  Hopefully apple considers more options.
