I'm thinking of booking a flight with Ryan Air. Can you check in by just giving them your booking reference (like you did with FlyBe) or do you have to print out a boarding pass (like Easy Jet)?
Ryan Air check in

You've got to self check-in and print your own boarding pass or they charge you a stupid amount to do so.
Good luck. Rather you than me.

Will they accept a boarding pass on an iPhone?

At some airports yes, at some, no.
Ryanair have an FAQ on this, it's all in there:

In the 'olden days' - pretty sure they accept them on a phone, but I always took paper copies, just in case your battery goes flat or the airport can't scan it.
You are brave booking flights anywhere !

+1 to the above. I'd always have back-up printed copies just in case. Ryanair are one of my least favourite airlines - down there at the bottom with Virgin below Jet Airways and Aeroflot.
I would avoid and fly with anyone else but them.
I was impressed with Jet2 once though.
I need to go to Greece so need a COVID negative test not more than 72 hours old. A PCR test the day after arrival, wait in hotel a day then take a second test. If both negative then I can go to work but need a test at customer site too. On top of that a government signed exemption from 7 day quarantine. Oh and the UK government declaration form, Greek passenger locator form....... Brave to fly if you don’t need to. It’s a hassle. And limited flight choices

I'll be flying from Birmingham to Belfast so it's a choice between Ryan Air and Easy Jet. Easy Jet land about 15 miles from the city center.
Ooooo sleazy jet. Of them two....swimming not an option ??🏊♂️

One's walkable into the city (Belfast City Airport) and the other needs a taxi/bus (Belfast International). Personally I prefer Belfast City although it can only take the small, floppy planes.
It depends where you're off to after landing. SWMBO needs to fly over once things open up more for a few days' visit.

I've never had a problem with Ryan Air. And as you point out - for some routes they are the only option.
I've had far worse issues with the more expensive airlines.
