It's a good gift idea but seems like a lot of trouble to build and maintain a consumer friendly version for what would be a relatively cheap product. Because I can't imagine people paying hundreds of dollars for that.

What he build looks cool but he set it up for his parents and if you were to sell it to them directly it would have to work out of the box. They'd have to be able to share the pictures with the frame with airdrop or something like that. Or maybe an SD card slot for Android users. Anything beyond that will be too complicated for the average user.

We're talking apple customers here. I just spent $300 on "air pods." Would I spend $300 on a two pack of AirFrames? Very maybe! The value of sharing pics with grandparents is huge, especially for those of us without facebook.
