The Internet as a whole has become very elderly unfriendly. Even the iPhone becomes an unnavigable mess once you’re trying to help someone 70+ work with it.

And continually changing UIs definitely don’t help.

The good news is that they’re adding a new accessibility mode

In the HN thread , a lot of people were calling it the grandparent mode.

My parents are in their late sixties and travel internationally quite often and the lack of a physical SIM slot in new iPhones makes them not want to upgrade devices ever, because it would mean that they'd have to learn a whole new paradigm for installing and using eSIM when they're not very tech literate.
