This is why I buy my grandmother her electronics. I can set it up so she has it ready when she gets it and doesn’t need to do anything.
Of course it’s also super easy to get her phone. Just tell her I need to do updates and then take it to another room to transfer everything.
My mom bought her an iPad 2 years ago. “I got a good deal. It was only $200” made me gag. Ya, my grandma uses apple cause it’s easiest but buying the cheapest apple product will not be a good time. She likes the iPad but it’s a 16g base iPad and the keyboard case she bought her is not a good fit. It requires a key combination to pair EVERY time since it doesn’t maintain a list of paired devices. And my grandma can only have 3 apps on her tablet before it’s full. So this year I’m getting her a new iPad with a decent chunk of storage which should last her a decade since she only emails and plays card games.
And you shouldn't buy elderly people dumb phones, if they can read, they can use a smartphone and just getting them a feature phone, so they won't break anything will just make them more digitally excluded.
