Does anyone know a good dumbphone that supports 4G/5G in the US and would work on Verizon? I know an older person who was recently forced to get an iPhone by the lack of dumbphones, and hates it.

Same problem in the UK. The dumbphones are all 2G, which is going away eventually.

All the "dumb" 4G models I can find come with a Facebook app, ffs.

Things from the Nokia series 60 era will often be 3G, but functionally dumb since most of the apps are not supported any more.

I vouch for the Sunbeam F1. It reminds me of the dumbphones of yore and is totally functional. Also check out r/dumbphones, lots of reviews there.
