The Worst Thing You Can Do For Your Grandma is Convince Her to Get an Android Phone

I have a plea for all of those people out there who love their Android phones. For the love of Pete, *DO NOT* convince your elderly Grandmother to get an Android phone!

As some of you are aware, I've been providing small-time tech support since about 2001 (as a side-business to my main job as a Network Engineer). I cannot begin to count the number of times I've been on the phone with an elderly person troubleshooting an Android phone problem. Don't even get me started on the issue of Android fragmentation. :|

I'm no Apple FanBoi (I hate that word), but I can say that I've seen the elderly handle the iPhone's iOS with ease. Downloading apps? Easy. Setting up email? Easy. Texting, sending a photo over SMS, taking a picture, making new contacts? All easy on the iPhone. 

I *challenge* anyone with any modicum of technical skill to watch a senior citizen try to do *any* of the above on an Android phone. You will cringe, you will cry. I *dare* you to try to do any of that over the phone... You'll want to strangle Android. 

You'll want to strangle the person who convinced Grandma to get an Android phone.
