Thank you all. The phone I lost then found is an SE, purchased recently to replace my beloved iPhone 6 which disappeared during a trip to Bunnings to buy wood chips for mulch which, as it turned out, weren’t needed but that’s a different story. The lessons for me from the Bunnings Episode were always make sure the phone has a decent amount of charge in it before stepping out the door, and always make sure the phone is nestled deep within your pocket - I think mine popped out when I was hefting bags of woodchip mulch.
I have to admit that the SE has been great. It is more compact and seems in some ways more powerful than the 6 was.
