Have you tried installing a different keyboard (that's what does the spell checking on Android), or is that also locked down? Genuinely not sure since I don't use iOS, but I figured if custom keyboards are allowed by the overlords

Please tell me you at least give the old phone to someone who can still use it for multiple years, rather than putting it with recycling where they may reuse some metals or, at best, some of the parts
