I have an iPhone, and I love it.
I can attach my iPad to it by personal hotspot, and get internet access just about anywhere.
Which means I can listen to any music just about anywhere or even watch films.
I post on here, by hotspotting at this very moment. I can keep in touch with my son, as he tours the world either by linking up the phone or iPad and he can show me his surroundings on live video.
I can text, which is miles better than leaving a message and more convenient.
I book my cinema tickets through my phone and use the wallet function to store the tickets and when I arrive to watch my film the cinema staff scan in the code on my phone, no messing about collecting tickets, no queues.
I take photos on it.
Look up places while I'm away from home and if I link it to my iPad can look up no end of useful things while on holiday, like events or restaurants or taxi companies.
I can order food to be delivered by using just eat, wherever I am.
I use it to order things for my dad, sometimes he even gets it the next day, amazon is brilliant.
Nothing nicer than when my dad tells me about something he believes is impossible to get that he wants to try, and I whip out my phone and iPad and order it at his house ( where he has no phone, or TV, he's a total technophobe won't even have a washing machine).
The last thing he told me about was a tea company in Cornwall that grew their own tea leaves in Cornwall and that it was almost impossible to get the tea bags , because most of it was exported. He wanted to try it, things " British" impresses my dad.
I whipped out my phone and iPad, searched for it, ordered it off amazon and it was delivered to his door, the very next day.

I think it frightens him a bit 😜💐 he's 92 this July. Almost blind.
My phone, I love it, helps me bring some happiness into other people's lives.
I have to watch my impulsive nature though 😀
I'm still learning what other useful things I can use it for.
I can also use it like a sat nav, if I need to find a road or place while being in a strange place, that's very useful.
If you can connect to google earth and select street view, you can even see what the place looks like 😜
