Assume a lot of it will be bricked remotely?
If they are they'll be pulled apart for parts and sold cheaply on eBay or through the dodgy groups of the small phone fixing outlets. That's what happens to most stolen devices too.
Current iPhone SE (1st gen) really struggling now. Opening an app gives a 1/3 chance of it turning off due to the battery not being able keep up with demand.
Going to pull the trigger on a new iPhone 12 mini (direct from Apple) and then send the old iPhone SE off for a £49 replacement battery, then sell it (it's in great condition otherwise). Hoping that Apple will not bother replacing the battery and just send me a brand new 1st Gen iPhone SE which will be even easier to sell.
[EDIT] iPhone 12 mini ordered (delivery tomorrow), went for the Applecare option too, and booked a repair (by post) of the existing 1st Gen iPhone SE.
Luckily I've been able to backup my existing phone, losing that data would be annoying.
