Would an iPhone be a good choice for my father? (alien.top)

My dad is 60, is nearly deaf in one ear, and has a condition with his eyes called macular degeneration he had surgery on this year. Would the accessibility settings in an iPhone make it a good gift for him? If so, which iPhone should I get him and what accessibility settings should I enable on it?

So my mom can't see well either. She was diagnosed with something (something they can't fix atm) a while ago, I just don't remember what it is called. But I guess the symptoms of macular degeneration and what my mom got are relatively similar. So she uses a Samsung tab as well as a S20+ and an iPhone 13 PM (all my old phones really). The tab is her go to device for most things other than regular calls. Also I feel like accessibility options especially when it comes to zoom etc are better on Android (on android most ui element react to zoom/font size, while on iOS they stay the same). She for some reason really don't like the iPhone, but I assume thats because she's used to the S20+.
