Apple research paper hints iPhone habits can predict mental decline with age
My dad will be 80 this fall. In college to be a business teacher, he got to feed punchcards into a computer and thought, well, that's neat, but I wonder if it will ever have any practical value or if I'll get to interact with computers again? He rode the curve with a NorthStar Horizon, then a used PC, always with shelves full of thick software manuals. We got him an iPad Air 2 a couple of years ago, and he's digging the snot out of it; it's like hazy future presaged by punchcards finally arrived. One of his favorite uses is for piano music he plays for church services at the VA. He's since supplemented a couple of PC towers with a Mac Mini, I think partly because it's easier for mom to navigate.
All that typed, I hope that when I'm his age, I decide I've got better things to do than stare at screens and poke around at gizmo whatsis. I might well "take longer to complete tasks" when I quit partway through whatever I'm doing and mosey or/and saunter around the block. -

Samsung clawing back Galaxy Fold from reviewers amid faulty screen complaints
"On the bright side, we have an opportunity to nail down this issue and fix it before selling the phones to a massive audience, so they won't have same complaints."
Another way to avoid complaints is conducting internal testing instead of letting reviewers do the testing. Call me a madman; I'm just a consumer after all, not a purported industry leader. -
