Neat. Much needed.

Yes and: I would've loved a "parental controls" for eldercare. Config and arrange the entire UX. Mostly to remove stuff, highly constrain the UX. I'd be fine with a shell. Like the olden days, when we used AUTOEXEC.BAT to launch AutoMenu or Norton Commander on startup.

While the constainly evolving UI/UX of iOS is probably a good thing, each new iteration completely defeats my elders. They're simply past the point of learning new things.

For a device that champions a non-modal paradigm, the iOS UI maze has a lot dead-ends.

They should also do usability testing of Siri with elders. Something as simple as a "start over" would be great.
