My dad is 60, is nearly deaf in one ear, and has a condition with his eyes called macular degeneration he had surgery on this year. Would the accessibility settings in an iPhone make it a good gift for him? If so, which iPhone should I get him and what accessibility settings should I enable on it?

    Absolutely. I’ve gone through those settings. There are tons. As long as you have it ready for him, he should be able to make great use of it. I wish I could give suggestions but I’ve only used a few. But there are so many that they should accommodate practically any condition.

    The only thing I would say is a newer phone, well not that new, after the era of the bigger iPhone. It started with the 11. Get the biggest one and there is a magnifying glass, but I don’t know if it can be automatically enabled. You can make the print huge though. And you can set something that describes pictures. I’m 90 % sure the last one is on the iPhone. A friend uses it. Pretty sure it’s iPhone.
