A big selling point of a phone to me is a built in blacklist feature. Problem is I only get that after the fact, or if I hunt for it while physically shopping. They don't usually bulletpoint it as a selling point, but it should be a standard feature.

I don't own an iPhone, but I assume you have the same trouble I do with spam texts/calls and no real decent blacklisting solution (most apps just don't work and I'm not going to throw money after money to find the one that does work in that pile of shovelware they call the play store.

Not sure if it works on IPhone but on android I've had very good luck / experience with "Truecaller: Caller ID, SMS spam blocking & Dialer". It doesn't catch them all, but it did decrease the amount of spam call / text I get within a month from 23 to 1. So that is nice.
