It doesn't have to be the latest iPhone, there are now a lot of worthy competitors from South Korea, Europe and China.
Also, the smartphone will be a good New Year's gift for an elderly person who would be glad to part with the outdated "clamshell", but is afraid that he will not understand all the functions of the sensor device. Patiently and thoroughly explain to him how to handle the smartphone, even if it takes part of New Year's Eve.
