  • It’s less customisable but your 10yr old cousin and 78yr old grandmother find it easy to use. It’s a silent switch. Turn it to silent and your phone cannot make a sound without an interaction by you. Very simple and easy to understand. If you want more granular control of this in iOS you’ll have to use a combination of Focus modes and Shortcuts. Personally I think of be pretty easy for Apple to retain the simplistic silent mode AND add setting level granular control too.



  • I got my parents iPhones, my in laws have Android. My parents get on fine with their phones. Every single time I’m at my in laws I’m not spending time with anyone, I’m tech support for their phones because they’ve messed something up or something isn’t working right. My work phone is Android so I know my way round and don’t have issues on it. I think the added layer of complexity / potential complexity with more permission requests, customisation possibility, storage options (they have mid devices with SD storage in addition to internal which is the cause of many problems for them).
