If they're adamant, just straight-up ask if you can have their old handset.
If/when you buy a new one, skip Apple and Samsung and pick a respectable mid-range or economy handset from a company like Fairphone (8 years guaranteed support) or Nokia (5 years), or go down the route of buying new of used with an aftermarket OS like Graphene or Lineage and, again, be sure to tell your friends and family that it's possible and a great experience.
