Why should being elderly be a factor? Let's have less of the ageism here. (SWMBO > 70 and loves here iPhone)

It’s for my mum, who unfortunately has been a victim of fraud via her phone, so her confidence is shot. I want to keep it simple for her and she doesn’t need 5G and the latest snapdragon processor to stream films. It’s needs to do the basics well, elderly is just adding context for suggestions.Why should being elderly be a factor? Let's have less of the ageism here. (SWMBO > 70 and loves here iPhone)

The Moto G Line are usually well reviewed as a budget option, i'm currently on a G9 Power and it does everything i need it to do.
This. The G line are pretty much without exception the best budget smartphones out there. Capable for every day, well built and priced reasonably. Downsides are typically the camera. If you're more concerned about screens/cameras probably head for the Xiaomi's.
Ultimately, because there will be some kind of concession at budget level, pick what they can live without the most/use least.
Thanks for the input and food for thought, to close the loop. By chance I was reading Stuff magazine, and they mentioned the TCL 40se as the best budget phone so I went for it. It came today and I set it up. Pleasantly surprised TBH, obviously it doesn’t feel as premium as an iPhone but screen is bigger and it’s feels ok swapping between apps.
I could of swapped the battery on the iPhone but TBH old eyes and old hands I think a slightly bigger screen and better screen will suit her.
