My elders do not understand english either and requires fully localized software.
I do not know about google or windows or apple offerings, I stay away from both. Does facetime allows to videocall outside of apple walled garden or is it an apple only feature ?
As approximatively 1 person own an iphone among people they stay in touch with, this would be an issue.
I gave my elders linux computers more than 10 years ago, they are 92 and 93 years now, and not a malware issue once.
Claiming that apple popularity is based on merit alone and not on marketing is quite the extraordinary claim, so allow me to ask for some fact supporting this claim.
- lotsofpulp 8y agoI'm not claiming it's based on marketing alone, but I am claiming there is a significant difference in the usability of their products, and that contributes heavily to their success. I'm certainly not going to be able to produce any studies, therefore I'm responding with actual occurrences which led to me Apple as my final solution. What happens when the linux computers hard drive fails? With an iPad, you tell your grandparents to go buy a new one and put the iCloud log in, and in an hour it's back to the way it was. I don't want to deal with backup and restore, neither do most people I know. What happens when they bust their phone? Go to the mobile phone store and get hassled by a minimum wage kid trying to trick the elders into more commissionable services? Have them call Samsung or Google 800#, wait on hold, have to do shipping and receiving? Or tell them to go to the Apple store and get it swapped out? These are all real life experiences that are much improved with Apple's devices. If you can afford it, and are not interested in tinkering, then I can't recommend anything else.
