y.u mobile's reused iPhone is ideal for the smartphone debut of the senior generation

The ownership rate of smartphones is increasing among seniors

　My parents, who are in their 80s, bought a conventional mobile phone for the first time about two years ago. According to a January 2021 survey by NTT Docomo Mobile Society Research Institute, the smartphone ownership rate among seniors is rising, reaching 80% for those in their 60s and 62% for those in their 70s.

　It can be said that about 70% of the elderly use smartphones.

About five years ago, I remember many seniors saying, "I don't want to own a smartphone because it's too difficult," but time flies.

However, not only family members, but also people related to work, friends, etc. have smartphones, and the information terminals displayed on TV are overwhelmingly smartphones, and various services, including public ones, are provided via smartphones. Because it is done, it is very natural for seniors to have smartphones.

Once you have used a smartphone, you will realize that it is easy to use even for seniors, such as the large and easy-to-read screen, the easy voice input, and the ability to easily take and view beautiful photos and videos. deaf. Now that it is difficult to see family members far away due to the corona crisis, there is a great advantage in being able to easily experience the fun of face-to-face conversation using a video call app, even though it will be through the screen.
