Cheapest phone that isn't so old I can't download apps? iPhone 7 is causing me problems.
I second this if you can afford it. The iPhone 17 base model is an excellent phone, and if you’re only buying once a decade, you might as well get one that’s awesome.

I know you don't really want to buy a new phone because you said cheap, but Apple supports each new iPhone model for 7 years of iOS security updates. If you buy an old phone it's either not supported anymore or it won't be supported for much longer. For longevity's sake, your best bet is to probably just get the new iPhone 17.

If you’re looking for an iPhone, I’d suggest buying an iPhone 17. It’s a great base model and will be supported for a number of years. Battery replacements are relatively cheap so in a few years just do that to extend its life. Sometimes the cheapest thing in the long term means a bit more upfront.

Buy the newest iPhone 17 so you don't need to switch as often. The iPhone 10 or xr is newer than your phone 7 by 3 years. So in another 3 years you will face this same problem again. Pretty sure you don't. Your phone is 10 years old. You should get a new one every 5 years average, maybe 7 years, definitely not 10 years.

Are Refurbished Electronics a Smart Choice?
I buy it from my phone plan company. So don’t have to worry about them being blacklisted or stolen. So far I haven’t had an issue. I have had the iPhone 15 for almost a year and no issues so far.
