Top 5 Phones For Grandparents

When grandma needs a new phone, remember new models are NOT always better!
Here are a few phones that may work better than others for grandparents and seniors. No phone is perfect and there is so much left to be desired in this particular market.
  • Go for a model with a "physical home button"
  • Choose the one with the "largest" screen size
  • Camera quality and sound quality are not as important compared to screen size
  • Wireless charging is a pro but NOT super important
  • It's very hard to find brand new iPhone 8 Plus products in store because it's such an old model
  • Most of what I found on Amazon for this model are refurnished sales
  • I worry it may soon no longer be supported with new software and apps
  • I wish Apple still made new models with home buttons

  • Plain simple classic cell phone
  • Big buttons
  • Easy to use
  • Great for basic phone features and is very affordable
  • If your grandparents just needs something for basic voice calls, get this phone
  • I wish they made a bigger version with extra large screen and extra large sized buttons

  • It's great to have a "wear-able" watch, so grandma doesn't always needs to remember to carry "the phone"
  • Built-in GPS feature is excellent so family members can keep an eye on grandma when she's off "roaming" the city
  • Remember to get the more expensive cellular model, otherwise the watch can't work without carrying a compatible iPhone!
  • I wish they made the screen bigger, it's so hard to read the little mini dot apps
  • I wish the battery lasted longer and I don't have to recharge it every night
  • Receiving calls are not so bad but all other features are currently very complicated to use
  • Maybe for future models they can make a "senior-friendly" version with fewer apps, bigger screen and simpler functions
