>At that point I was looking at a costly upgrade to one of the Android flagships, or an iPhone, of which I chose the latter. That's your personal decision though, you don't need a flagship android phone to have the latest versions of android. I pretty much never spend more than $100-150 for android phones and they always support all the normal MFA apps.

Fair, I could just buy a new Android phone, but at the time every non-flagship appeared to stop updates every two years, and being on an upgrade treadmill on that time scale did not seem like a fair use of my money. I have no idea if this continues to be the situation or if Android manufacturers have gotten better with their update cycles.

  Pixel A series (from Pixel 8A) is a non-flagship that will receive 7 years of updates. I bought 1 last year around less than $300.

  That's fair assessment (and it pissed me off myself), but thankfully it's much better now with Android. I mean, I still wouldn't trust Sony even if it give a blood oath (they used to abandon flagships after 16-18 month form release!), but there are also more reputable vendors.

It also should be on your employer to provide a compatible device (especially when it's your personal device that's not secure enough for the business)
