Would an iPhone be a good choice for my father? - eviltoast

My dad is 60, is nearly deaf in one ear, and has a condition with his eyes called macular degeneration he had surgery on this year. Would the accessibility settings in an iPhone make it a good gift for him? If so, which iPhone should I get him and what accessibility settings should I enable on it?

    iPhone is definitely better for older people. I helped my 82 year old father yesterday with his Android, and it is horrible. He also uses it to play music. He bought a brand new 2024 truck. The Android Auto is horrible. He must still use his phone screen to play music, as the app will not display his music library or playlists on the huge infotainment screen in the truck.

    So, not only would an iPhone be better for his hearing and sight, it will also be much, much easier for him to use for every day usage.
