You might want to check the 16e. It has 16 insides (without magsafe and uwb chip), with screen from 14 and not very protruding (although still) but good camera. Its also cheaper than base model iphone.

16e with a skinny case, and you have a completely flat phone

I'm working on an iOS Gopher protocol browser. The app is in an 'early stage', but the plan is to release it on the App Store as my first app once it's ready. https://github.com/flashyhuckle/GopherHop

I've been into 'small web' and unbloated websites for ease of use and privacy reasons, and all of the available gopher browser apps on iOS are not great, so I have decided to make my own. Maybe someone will find it useful.
