  Helpful tip:
  if your parents need a new phone and they have poor eyesight: buy an iPhone for them.

  Sounds weird buy after looking through a lot of phones designed for this situation and talking to a organisation that helps blind/weak-sighted we got recommended buying an iPhone.

  The reason is Siri. I've now set up his phone so he just have to hold in the home button and say "Send sms to ..." or "call ...".

  Its very intuitive, all the rest og the iPhones possiblilities are not used. So no reason to buy the latest version.
