My parents are in their late 60's/early 70s and I gave them my old iPhone 11. They weren't super tech savvy although my Dad knows his way around a computer when he needed to.
To be honest they love their iPhone. I didn't add any specific apps (not interested in Facebook or anything) but they learnt how to send a text, add photos, use Facetime etc fairly quickly. My Dad manages to use Youtube because he used to pop it into Safari so I ended up downloading it for him.
They don't use banking apps and would rather pay in cash so that wasn't a huge issue for them, if they want something online they ask me ๐
My Mum still makes mistakes texting or calling, but she isn't as confident as my Dad. My Aunt on the other hand has an Android and she is pretty clueless on how to use it so I have to help her more. I think they mastered it pretty quickly so you might be surprised!
