$20-25 USD gets you my everyday carry Keychain flashlight, the Olight ir2. It has a narrow/medium beam, which means it throws light much farther than a phone flash. No fiddling with touchscreens or lock screens, can be done with gloves, won't miss-tap in rain. The battery is only good for like 10 minutes of high or 60 minutes of low, but the USB recharging in <1hr means it's not hard to maintain. It's a twist style, so it's simple to use and doesn't need a coded lock press pattern to prevent pocket lighting. I've had mine for 2.5yrs. If I'm already a little dark adapted, the low mode is plenty of light. High mode gets 20ft or more of clear throw.
There's a pro now, which is a little bigger, little brighter, lasts a little longer, and uses a type-c port instead of micro. Something like $5 more
