All iPads iPad and iPhone for Someone who's Computer-Illiterate
Feb 21, 2023
My step-grandmother is computer-illiterate, yet she desperately needs a computer to help her with shopping and all. My father and I will get her an iPad and iPhone, because we think that will be the easiest for her to use (we don't want her to have to deal with a desktop system such as MacOS or Windows). To be clear: We're not pushing this on her, she does want an iPad. I'm hoping you folks can help me help my step-grandmother. Any tips, advice, and insight would be appreciated.

The iPad will definitely be easier to understand and quicker than a Laptop. Just go for the cheapest model as I expect the majority of power from them will be used for FaceTime, email, shopping and maybe a little internet browsing.
The biggest cost though will not be with the hardware but your time in helping her to understand how they work.

I’d suggest base model also, but if you’re going with 9th gen, then I’d also suggest an iPhone with a home button. It helped my mom a lot to have the same basic user experience, same buttons and what not.
