In reply to the discussion: Am totally discouraged. Got the thrill of my life when I received an I-phone 17 this [View all]Irish_Dem
(80,391 posts)I have an I16 because I have small hands and needed a smaller phone.
But I mainly only do the basics with it.
Text people, take pictures, play candy crush.
I also have some good aps that help me out.
Open the garage door etc.
I am the same way with my car.
I have an automatic but turned off some of the fancy stuff.
I don't like it when the car takes over.
Well yes it would be easier now for you if you had done this years ago.
But even the simple phones back then were a big learning curve.
All the more reason to do it now.
I have an 85 year old friend who got an iPhone last year for the first time.
She had a conniption fit over it, but I sat down with her and taught her
to do texts with emojis and then she went to town on it. She loved it so much.
Her grandkids are having a ball with her.
You can also get online anytime you need it.
And that can save you time and money.
Also in an emergency you have a reliable phone always with you.
