I think a bigger device/screen is easier for older people to use. I think they can struggle a lot with typing on a smaller phone screen, as well as the font and overall display size.

- malshe 5y agoI second this. I bought iPads for my parents and in-laws and I gave them the choice between iPad Mini and iPad thinking they will prefer mini because it's lighter. Both of them chose iPad precisely because it has a larger screen. I don't think it was just because of the ease of typing.
