Mom is in her 70's and using an iPhone 5. Jailbreak just came out for the iPhone iOS 7 BUT there is controversy surrounding it and I will not be jailbreaking her phone due to that. She has Verizon unlimited data and wants to WiFi tether her iPad to her phone when she is out and about and with an iPhone, that would mean a jailbreak was required.
I think the Moto X GUI is cleaner than the iPhone and that she would quickly adapt to the Moto X. And I think Assist and touchless controls would really benefit her when she is driving. Those 2 features are a huge added value in my mind.
Camera is not important to her since she doesn't take pictures with her phone.
Any downsides anyone can think of that I am missing? At her age, it is important for her to keep trying to learn new things so that her mind doesn't stagnate so I don't think having to learn a new OS is a downside, rather it is a plus.
