2002 was the year of the Nokia 7650, their first phone with a camera - 0.3MP which it displayed on its 176x208 screen. It cost €740 in 2020 money (€550 back then).

In 2020 you can buy a second generation iPhone SE for €489, with a 1334x750 screen (at >6x pixel density) and 12MP camera.

These are not roughly equivalent pieces of hardware, and the software they run differs immensely. MMS is not Instagram.
