New phone

Not an expert, but... the latest iPhone is the 12, so you can go to your carrier's retail store and see what their deals are for iPhone 11's. You can also google refurbished iPhones and see what you can find. Whatever you do, make sure to examine your final charges/bill - they're notorious for bogus charges. I found out AT&T was charging me some kind of "insurance" of $10/month for the right to be able to upgrade the phone at any time (or something like that). Good luck.

Mac,
If you are a Comcast customer you can obtain an Apple iPhone SE for free from Xfinity Mobile.
When I travelled the country for work, AT&T provided nationwide coverage at a reasonable(?) price...the company paid the bill.
After retirement, I discovered I was paying through the nose for coverage/service I rarely needed.
My "by-the-gig" pricing with Xfinity Mobile is almost always $16.85/month. But, I do connect to wi-fi most everywhere I go now...so my mobile data usage is very low. An out-of-town trip cost me $35 in data earlier this year...mainly due to the fact that I used my iPhone 10's GPS to find my way to unfamiliar destinations.
BTW...Xfinity Mobile is on the Verizon network so nationwide cell service is just fine for my needs.

Kudos for making cell phone last for 10 years. Consumer Cellular has been an improvement for me over Verizon... They allow for either T Mobile (5G?) or AT&T cell towers. For some reason I have always steered away from anything Apple-Iphone & gone with Samsung-Android. There might be advantages to Android ... not sure.

For those of us who are in the habit of plugging into our phone's usb before beddy-by ... the battery life is way less of an issue.
