It's easier than ever before to stay in touch with loved ones and find information online. Unfortunately, seniors often find themselves intimidated by advancing technology, especially devices with small buttons or laptops that require a lot of technical knowledge. A used iPad® is often an ideal happy medium. Here's a closer look at the benefits your loved one will enjoy.

Why Seniors Enjoy iPad Tablets

1. Minimal Weight

Every iPad model is extremely lightweight, especially when compared to bulkier laptops and tablets from other manufacturers. Some of the newer generations come in at just 1 pound, but even older used iPads weigh less than 2 pounds. This makes them perfect for seniors who may have trouble holding up heavier devices for extended periods.

2. Large, Clear Screen

Vision problems are common as we get older, with about a third of people experiencing some type of eye disease before the age of 65. Smartphones can do anything a tablet can do, but the screens can be difficult for seniors to see.

iPad tablets, by contrast, have screens ranging from 10 to 12 inches, depending on the model. Apple® devices also feature industry-leading Retina® displays that make them more user-friendly for those with vision issues.

3. Easy-to-Use Interface

Most devices, including many popular tablets, have an array of settings, options, and counterintuitive design features that can confuse even experienced users. Apple’s iOS® platform was created for users who may not be tech-savvy.

Many core iOS functions are designed to work without much interaction with the user. Whether your loved one wants to make a video call, download a game, or check their bank balance, an iPad makes it easy and stress-free.

4. Affordability

While these tablets do offer incredible value, new models can be pricey. Used iPad tablets are much more affordable, often up to 50% less than new devices.

The most reputable dealers thoroughly test each device they sell and make any necessary repairs before putting it on the shelf. Many also offer warranties that rival those offered with brand-new devices.
