The newest iPhone you could have bought in 2012 was an iPhone 5, which was 32-bit and doesn't support anything newer than iOS 10. You'd basically not be able to run any apps from the last three or four years. (And apps from before then may stop working if they depend on servers that have been shut down, under the assumption that everyone who cares has updated.)
I totally support your mission. I'm writing this on an 8-year-old Mac that I hope to eke out a full decade from. I just don't think iPhones (or Macs, really -- mine already can't run the newest OS, and its Safari can't display WebP images that are popping up increasingly across the Web) are a good example.
