Maybe it's a flip phone. I think the level of technology depends on the group of Amish. Some technology may be used if it helps with productivity. Technology that causes distraction is a no go.
I don't believe the host is Amish. He may just be a Pennsylvanian German. Which are of the same ethnicity of Amish folk but follow different traditions.
Amish are anabaptist anyway. I think the word you were going for is Hutterite; they tend to work with new technology (cars, farm tractors, telephones, electricity, computers) but take care in using them.
Recently though, I don't think it's uncommon for Amish kids to have small dumb phones.
Sidenote: I'm the de-facto lead engineer for a national IT company that takes care of key infrastructure in our country and still use a dumb phone (the same one I used since 2010). As my mentor used to say: "One tool for one job".
