I had to google it to see what it looked like, looks great if all you care about is photo + videocalls.

In the end i guess it all depends on the persons ability to manipulate and see things.

I've pushed my parents hard into the Apple ecosystem and it has worked out great.

My mom first got the iPhone 4, before that she had a nokia flip phone, she could use it from day 1. Nowadays I buy the newest iPhone, and after 1-2 years or so I sell it to one of my parents for a 'nice' price. The iPad I made them buy (and they upgraded it once) is very popular.

But the most used Apple product is the AppleTV. It has enabled them so watch the news when they want, and Youtube has given them access to content (travel) they'd never had before.

Sharing photo albums, facetime video calls, imessage and ease of use is just on a level I don't think exists with android - of course, sometimes theres the small hiccup.

But they are not 93 years old so the mileage might vary :)
