The main purpose of iPhone SE is to be a small phone.
If it's size is increasing, they failed.
The main purpose of the SE is to be a budget phone. it was just a coincidence that it was a small phone because it used older iPhone designs.

I think it’s a mistake not keeping the $429 price. I would honestly prefer that they use the iPhone 13 mini as the base for the new SE if it means they can keep the price the same as the older models.

The main purpose was to be cheap (relative to the other iPhones).

The purple of the mini was to be a small phone.
