HUAWEI P30 lite[^]
Good memory, good processor, good display, good camera (48 megapixel though it normally averages 4 pixels to generate 12 megapixel files), NFC for Covid friendly contactless payments, face / fingerprint recognition, good battery life ... and pretty cheap for what it does.
Mine lives in a case, partly because I use a mag mount in the car for satnav, partly because it's a fully glass body - which looks very pretty but slides out of your hand far too easily. It's survived several cat-related falls and a bounce round the car which was my fault (I didn't put it on the mag mount right and had to hit the brakes hard). The bouncing session dinked the screen on one of the seat runners, but the standard issue screen protector took the hit and the glass under was undamaged. A cheap replacement later, and all was pristine again.

Nope but I have a great little tool that rips the centre out of an apple. I would be getting a cheap android phone to use as a backup while you wrestle with Apple.

If you don't want anything fancy, I think the Samsung A-Series are pretty nice in quality-price. My A50 was around 250 € ober 18 months ago and my wife's A41 was 210 € some weeks ago.
I only miss some quality with pictures in really low luminosity.
But for normal use... we are more than happy with them.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I love my Motorola G6 phone. It's less than $300 USD and works anywhere.

If you're not familiar with the name Louis Rossman..
Search for him in youtube and prepare to watch someone ripping Apple a new one for their behaviour over and over and over again.
Their behaviour in your case, as compared to some of his stories, has been tender and loving!

Nokia 1 is an Android phone and costs around £60, and works with pay as you go. I have had mine for over two years now and it does everything I need. And can even make and receive telephone calls.

... that is a pity, I heard it keeps the doctor away.

...because the doctor wants nothing to do with you...?

I don't care what science, product manuals, or what other people say. My microwave is capable of heating food to temperatures only found on the Sun. It reminds me of this every day.
To be honest, it is a miracle that I have any skin left on the roof of my mouth.

There are only two things a microwave is good for:
1) Softening butter.
2) Acting as a cat safe to keep stuff away from the food obsessed monster until it it cool enough to go in the fridge.
It has no purpose trying to heat or cook food ...

I see what you did there:
- If it's microwaveable, it's not food
- If it's food, it's not microwaveable

Microwave popcorn is a wonderful thing.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

I used to think so, until I realized that the butter flavor is not from real butter, but from a chemical called diacetyl.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I actually make eggs in mine fairly often and they are quite good. Turn it into a breakfast burrito and yummy. Much better than any fast food one you can get.

~6000°K ?! 
I'd love to see (and hate to have) your power bill!

It's a solar powered microwave, so no bill.

You must have the Samsun brand?
I'm not sure how many cookies it makes to be happy, but so far it's not 27.

Years ago, I was working a lot on Suns. They didn't get very hot at all.
We did obtain an Alpha. You could fry your steak on that one. (Rumors are than up until the last prototype before commercial release, its power supply was so hefty that it required three-phase AC power.)
