iPhone SE

iOS is quite clean, the phone is affordable, has a great chip, and will be supported for many years, certainly longer than any non-Apple phone you buy.

I'd rather avoid smartphones as much as possible.

It's become so hard to do in modern life - I just keep data turned off and turn it on for brief moments when I need it (lyft, maps, latch).

Doesn’t that mess up all received texts due to I message needing data?

If you want, you can disable _a lot_ of smart features on an iPhone. If you’re paranoid you can lock the re-enabling behind a passcode you give to a trusted person.
