Many (Most?) Android based phones have accessible batteries so, a dead / low battery can be swapped out with a charged spare. As mentioned, have chargers at home, work in the car etc. If GF is truly as hard on phones as you indicate, I'd stay with a much less expensive Android based model that can be replaced as needed. If you do get her onto iOS, perhaps buy it at a vendor like Best Buy and, get their extended warranty that will cover hard use.
Apple Care + covers drops and other disasters for a $49 fee.
I didn't have time to elaborate earlier, but I was also thinking of AppleCare. My wife just got a new iPhone free because of the battery issue. After having used her's one year 9 months. We saved money by buying it at Apple store and no contract.
