The A04e costs about £80. The cheapest new iPhone is £700.
It might take a lot longer to afford an iPhone than it took for you to afford an A04e.
The samsung phone also said it would get 2 years of software support when it came out. It came out 2 years 9 months ago... Doing a little research for the devices you buy would have shown it would never get one ui 7 or 8. More expensive devices offer longer software support. Super cheap phones don't offer many years of software support
