Subject: RE: BS: mobile phones for the elderly, disabled
Sorry I don't have any experience with easy to use phones; except to say I would hate to do anything fiddly like Amazon orders on a phone. I use a 10" tablet for that sort of thing which is generally very good.   idk if you can get tablets which will work as a phone these days.

ageco* has a page(july 2024) listing some suggestions
idk if the same models would be available in the USA
