Consider upgrading size to iPad Mini, while on her phone tell it to share cellular calls to her local WiFi devices.
Then on iPad Mini, use max zoomed UI.
A significant degree of shakiness perceived by the device comes from tentative behaviors while she is trying not to miss small targets. With larger targets, she can point and touch with more confidence due to larger margin for error.
- frereubu 6y agoThanks for the suggestions. She primarily uses it when out and about, so carrying around an extra device for calls wouldn't really work. In terms of zoom, do you mean Display & Brightness > View > Zoomed, because I have enabled that on her phone. Accessibility > Zoom I find pretty unintuitive, and I think her shakiness would make that a problem. I've also increased text size with Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Larger Text. I've done both of those things on my phone too, because I find it much easier to use despite not having any accessibility issues as such. Out of interest, would the max-zoomed UI on the iPad Mini make any difference to gesture detection (e.g. detecting the start of a swipe rather than a tap)? Or is that more about muscle tension when trying to hold steady for a tap on a small area causing more shakes? Could you elaborate on that?
- jedimastert 6y agoThis is an ancillary point to OP's, but as someone with very mildly shaky hands, you shake more when you're trying not to shake. If I shook as much trying to tap a 2mm x 2mm area as I did while typing, I simply wouldn't be able to type
- frereubu 6y agoThanks, that's a really interesting insight. That must make it really difficult to type on the iOS keyboard in portrait - I'm thinking more and more about getting her to do stuff with voice commands.
