> I can hand my technologically-handicapped 65-year-old mother an iPad and not have to worry

We don't have to lock an entire ecosystem of devices because your mom's technologically-handicapped



As we dive further and further into them being dependent on said devices to be part of modern society... Yes we do.

It's the niche that wants open and flexible devices and the ability to customize everything.

Let's not ruin iOS by trying to make it Android.

I say that both as an iOS developer and Android user.


Find another ecosystem of devices. There are plenty. And it's not just my family, there's at least one person in most families who is like that.
