> I’m not sure why this would be true, unless you’re willing to cut back significantly on features.

Sorry for not making it clear but I was implying exactly that. There are a ton of features that are really nice but a person spending that little on a phone probably doesn't need. I would likely even put "big touchscreen" on that list...

  Really a phone that:
  - makes phonecalls
  - has support for WhatsApp/Telegram etc even without video calls
  - has a real keyboard
  - has my banking app
  - commits to long term support and repair(5+ years preferably 10)
Would be number one on my list of things to buy because thats exactly what I want. I would absolutely still own an iPhone that I use day to day. But that cheap phone is exactly what I want when the iPhone needs to sit in a drawer for two weeks and I'm using a burner number out of town.
