Another anecdote: Dad (in his 90s) uses an iPad2 every day, having rejected the HP laptop I got them a few years back. He will never switch to a traditional laptop, especially sans touch screen, but a larger iPad would be great for his and Mom's eyesight.
Having learned the iPad paradigm, this demographic is going to be much more open to a size upgrade than to a paradigm shift, in my opinion.
- stygiansonic 11y agoAnother anecdote as well: I hate to use the Mom cliché, but after years of trying to get my dear mother to use a desktop-based UI for basic stuff like email, web-browsing, I just got her an iPad. (In this case, an iPad Mini 2). Because there's much less to customize, there's much less to mis-configure, and she's been happily using it for some time. I don't think she'll ever go back to a desktop/laptop. (She actually prefers the smaller mini size, and says it's easier to hold)
