Using an iPhone should feel supportive, not stressful.

Tech Translated exists because many capable, independent people have been made to feel unsure by technology that was never set up with them in mind.

I’m Gin. I’ve spent over 20 years working in technology education, with a background in computer science and cybersecurity. Over the years, I’ve noticed the same pattern again and again. When phones feel confusing or risky, it’s rarely because someone lacks ability. It’s because the technology assumes too much, moves too fast, and prioritizes features over real life.

That pattern became personal for me after a call from my own mom.

She’s sharp, thoughtful, and independent, yet her phone made her hesitate. Not because she couldn’t understand it, but because it behaved in ways that felt unpredictable and unsafe.

Nothing is wrong with people like her. Phones are simply not set up to reduce risk or hesitation.

Tech Translated was created to change that.

Instead of teaching technology, we focus on adjusting it. We remove the settings that create interruption, confusion, and unnecessary risk, so an iPhone can feel quieter, safer, and easier to live with on its own.

The goal is not to turn anyone into a tech expert. It’s about having a phone that supports your life instead of adding stress to it.

When a phone behaves better, people trust themselves again. They don’t hesitate before tapping. They don’t feel the need to ask for help. And they don’t feel behind, nervous, or overwhelmed.

That is what Tech Translated is here to restore.
