Can you explain how this would suit the elderly? I must be missing something because it appears that thing is either a very complicated landline phone or a very cumbersome tablet that you can’t pick up and carry around. Imagine typing a WhatsApp message to your granddaughter on that.
If it connects the way I think it does, it would allow for the user to hold the “phone” part to their ear and dial on the touchpad like a traditional landline phone while being able to use wireless(*) technology.
The rest of the tablet apps are what make it not ideal, since its main use case seems to be the phone itself.
TL;DR: use like regular phone, other apps useless.
Edit: it would also make it simpler for grandma to make WhatsApp calls if she can hold the phone to her ear.
(*)2nd edit: “wireless” means non-landline, as in cellular.

Lol, that looped wire coming out of the handset means it’s not wireless

4G capable “landline” phones have been a thing for ages and I see them every once in a while. No touch screen, just buttons like a traditional one
I have been lied to
I think what the other commenter was getting at is you can access a cellular connection (wireless) in a land line format
Shh, you’re ruining the joke
