Why do old people love iPads so much?

Because nice UI and good OOB experience (for most people)

You'll get it when you get older, Timmy

They run circles around Android OS when it comes to accessibility options and ease of use. My 85yo Grandpa told me a few years ago that it gave him a reason to get up in the morning. He had really poor sight but was very smart for his age. It was easy to coach him how to FaceTime people and send Text messages. I have another Aunt and Uncle in their late 80s and it’s the same thing. They love how Apple makes it possible for them to actually use technology to do things we take for granted like look at pictures or video call someone.

They didn't grow up with computers, so it's as easy as being a baby to understand.

Gave one to my grandma 3 years ago and there hasn't been a single time where she needed tech support. Sounds like a deal to me.

The same reason toddlers love them. Profound mental retardation and no motor skills.

the home micro revolution was 40 years ago
someone in their 60s or 70s now was typing listings out of a magazine into their commodore 64 or zx spectrum two generations before you were born

>70s
In the 1950's? Kys. commodore 64 or zx spectrum. Dumb ass I had a commodore 64. It came out in 82 Retard.

Simple UI, large screen for large print.

Enlighten us then?

and unlike the toddlers, they won't ever get better
>>
>>103219455
probably the opposite. ONE UI and ONE OOBE. it could be the worst shit in the world, as long as it never changes.

Simple UI
Let's them browse Facebook without a ton of stuff getting in the way
It's just enough computer for most people
Probably same UI as their phone but bigger screen

Because they work - unlike the 15 year-old Twinkpad with some obscure Troonix distro you elder abusers keep trying to force them to use.
