BGR said in a post on X that some seniors with Parkinson’s or arthritis can struggle with regular smartphones, and pointed to tailored phones from RAZ and Jitterbug as alternatives that can assist them (BGR post on X).
The post does not go into device-by-device detail, but it frames RAZ and Jitterbug as phones designed for people who may have a harder time with the controls or complexity of a standard smartphone. For readers helping an older family member, that puts the focus on accessibility-oriented options rather than assuming a typical smartphone will work for everyone.
That means the practical takeaway is simple: if Parkinson’s or arthritis makes a regular smartphone harder to use, BGR’s post suggests looking at tailored phones from RAZ and Jitterbug as possible alternatives.
