There appears to be just one such ticket; Touch & Go which costs £23 and has to be bought in advance. (Much) cheaper tickets are confined to specific routes, which I assume is where they have competition.
The lamentable trend towards cheaper tickets (or more accurately) less expensive tickets on Apps isn't unfortunately confined to TfL. These are widely used to further punish passengers who can't afford or other wise use iPhones all on the basis of grossly exaggerated time savings with boarding. That's before we get into arguments about security and poor internet/wi-fi connections.

I don't think anyone sensible would try to buy a ticket on their phone using the wifi of the bus they are about to board, they'd use their own mobile data connection or/and do it before they leave to get the bus.

You don't need an iPhone to use apps. Android phones which run apps start at around £50 (sim free), so a much higher proportion of people have a suitable phone than a few years ago. A lot of those without are older passengers who have ENCTS anyway.
