      My mother in law is still using a flip phone and struggles even with that. She wants a smart phone so iPhone is the obvious choice. Anyone know of any good material for beginners. It needs to go over the power button, home button, how to open apps, etc.

            Good find. I am thinking I will get her the Udemy course because it breaks everything down in smaller videos instead of one large video which might be overwhelming to her.

              If there is an Apple Store close by, they have classes as well.

                I have heard those classes are awesome and usually filled with Older people.

                    With my mother, I set up the phone, got a good backup, and encouraged her to go nuts. Apples environment is pretty safe. Let her play with it, try to learn it, and give it a week. Then show her a few tips and tricks as she adjusts. She will figure it out, and she can't break it.

                      My folks both have iPhones... I don't think between the two of them they have more than 3 apps installed, lol.

                        I bought the book My iPad for Seniors for my in-laws last year. They are in their 70's and he knows more about iOS than I do now 😉
