Our pick for the best phone for seniors for 2018 is still the Apple iPhone SE. The Apple iPhone SE is the smallest iPhone currently in the market with the 4 inch screen. Even though the SE is relatively cheaper than the other iPhones it offers phenomenal performance, a top camera and one of the best battery on offer. We looked at over 15 expert cell phone reviews of the iPhone SE, including ones from sites like Pocket-Lint.com, T3.com and CNet.com, and everyone corroborate the class-leading credentials of the iPhone SE.
Seniors for the most part want clarity, dependability, simplicity and intuitiveness, without the fancy bells and whistles that add little value. For this reason our picks for the Best Smartphones for Seniors include only the iPhones from Apple.
The reason we recommend only the Apple iPhones for seniors is because all iPhones operate the iOS operating system which is by far the most intuitive and easy to use operating system on all smartphones. Most seniors have simple needs to make calls, take a picture or maybe chat with someone - and all of these actions are easiest to perform on the iOS operating system. Even though other smartphones like Windows, Android and Blackberry can be very powerful in the functions they support, we have found that seniors have a hard time using these phones as the functions are not intuitive enough.
Even though we strongly recommend iPhones as they are the most intuitive to use for seniors, some may still want to go for more basic feature phones with numeric keypads - for that please check out our best feature phone picks.
Some of the iPhones can get very pricey, but the Apple iPhone SE is more affordable. The cheapest picks in our list will come to around $400 and they are the best options for seniors looking for a more affordable phones. Additionally, most of the iPhones are compatible with hearing aids and we have listed the corresponding M/T values in the table below. The call quality and reception in all iPhones is also one of the best out there in the market.
