> I wish Apple would release a "dumb mode", which removes 90% of the already limited UX features of macOS/iOS.

Have you seen Assistive Access? https://support.apple.com/guide/assistive-access-iphone/welc...

I don’t think many at all are aware at the lengths that Apple goes to wrt accessibility features. It is astonishing.

There are blind people who can type faster than I (sighted) can on an iPhone.

Thanks for the reminder on this… definitely need to give it a shot.

One big issue with older folks is change. While the Assistive Access might be awesome, making such a significant change will be tough.

Always!
