Hey everyone,
So my recently orange-pilled friend's birthday is coming up. I would like to get him a hardware wallet since he doesn't currently have one. He has a chromebook and an iphone. Any suggestion's?

Arman the Parman, has great resources and guides.
See the 8 levels of storage security.

Here the guide to the different wallets:

I would give them these guides along with your present. You will see that is not recommended to skip steps as it can frustrate newbies.
To use with an iPhone I think is going to have to be Ledger with Bluetooth connection but it has some concerns as you will be able to read in the guide.

If they have a chromebook and an iPhone, something QR based would probably be best for compatibility. Depending on budget that'd be either a Blockstream Jade ($50) or a Foundation Passport ($260).

What's the challenge with using a chromebook? Lack of native apps?
Trezor used to run in as a browser extension way back when. Is that not true anymore?

they still offer a web bridge. their kb states ChromeOS is not officially supported, but it should work with Google's webUSB.

Correct. Trezor works with Chrome via WebUSB and it officially supported.
