> why not have a 65+ or something for a senior mode?

Damn... I'm guessing OP is pretty young or something. I know people 80+ who have hardly any problems with regular iOS. I also know people under 60 who do. Age isn't a great thing to assume ability from.

63, and I learn new stuff, every day.

I need to remember that I don't represent the norm, when it comes to stuff like that.

I guess the saddest thing (to me), is seeing people that consider learning to be a pain point. Even young folks don't want to learn. Us geeks aren't exactly representative of the vast majority of folks. That often makes it difficult for us to design stuff for them.

  There’s ten thousand jargon-driven primrose paths. When I was younger, I went down a couple.

Dam' right (he says, still developing at 70). Getting older may be compulsory, but I regularly have to help the youngsters out with tech-related matters.
