I wouldn't say so. I got my grandma a cheap Android phone and a book to help her learn because I thought it'd be better since I also have Android and can help her.
My grandma is 89 now, she uses Whatsapp, Youtube and whatnot and I am not kidding but within 2 months she had:
- AVG antivirus (an ad told her she had a virus)
- She had batterylife for 7 hours before a charge was needed due to shitty apps
- Ads on her lock screen?!
- Ads on her homepage
After 6 months and 3 house calls to fix her phone we gave up and she got my aunts old iPhone 5s with a new battery.
It runs iOS 12 now and it runs flawlessly and protects her from all the stuff I mentioned.
From a guy that has always had Android: most users need iOS level protection. Just simple facts.
- Andrex 8y agoA cheap phone has worse functionality than an expensive* one? Forgive the snark but this comparison doesn't make sense to me. *Speaking in terms of launch MSRP.
- apexalpha 8y agoThe software was stock android (Android One project). The important part was that the 4 year old iPhone 5s had the latest iOS and still works better than a new €250 Android.
