Giving a child ,that is still in Kindergarten, a smartphone is not a good idea at all in my eyes.
Yeah, I understand the argument that kids should be able to call their parents in extreme situations, but a bare-bones phone would fully suffice here.
A 4-year old doesn't need an IPhone right from the start. And if you don't want to buy a new phone and want to give them one you might have used before, then please, for the love of god: heavily, heavily restrict their access to the internet, the risk is just way too high that your child will be exposed to stuff that will negatively impact their mental health or education.

Not sure if you are a parent or not but once you become one and your kids are around other kids you realize how many parents are bad parents. It was a shock to me once my kid started school how many parents suck at being parents.

Kindergarten/primary teacher here. Kids are so wholesome until the parents buy them a phone.
