I just set up my Mother's new iPhone... And it took me hours to get everything the way I know my Mother needs it. And then it took some more time teaching my Mother and my Father how to use it... I'm still not quite sure they understand it all since I'm not sure I understand it all but I'm a big believer of learning how to use electronic devices by playing around with them (while at the same time perusing the manual, unlike men who don't believe in manuals at all...) so hopefully they'll eventually figure it out for themselves...

 

I mean, the thing is in actual Chinese... Siri actually understands Cantonese (!!!) so I'm hoping it would help them along as well...

 

And at least I didn't have to set up as many apps as I did for my own phone... That actually took me forever trying to get my contacts the way I want them, setting up all my different social apps... All I had to do for my Mom is get her email and WeChat set up so it was relatively easy... I did the best I could since the only reference I had was the iPad... I've only ever used Android devices so it's a little different...

 

Still, it's hard to think of my Mother as having the best phone in the family... o.O All this so they can FaceTime with international friends and family... :\
