I'll give you the fact that I didn't specify exactly what her use cases are, but I hope you don't mind me saying that this feels like a pretty dismissive reply without asking what the context is. Name me a phone with big physical buttons that would allow her to approve online payments through her banking app.

"Shaky hands" plus "small touchscreen device" is enough context to reach this conclusion. If you want to make a project out of it, you could set up a browser with a few extensions that limit her ability to expose herself to malware, etc. and make it easy to connect to the services she uses regularly.
- MandieD 6y agoThere's a lot in our world that is starting to assume you have a modern smartphone to hand, such as online banking - not for initiating transactions, but for authorizing them. Also, parking payments. With more and more places going cashless, having change on-hand is becoming a problem. Just because someone’s hands aren’t steady enough to use a smartphone like a young person doesn’t mean that they’re so frail that they have no interest in or need to independently navigate the world we’re making.
