Zoom/Covid Tech Gift?

[PlatinumGuy]

I'm looking to spend up to ~$1000 on a gift for somebody who already has Macs and iPads and all the classic toys. They are high risk using Zoom almost daily, so I thought a good approach would be a tool that would enhance that experience, like a higher resolution web cam (though I couldn't find any that plug into an iPad).

Leaning towards this, although I'm skeptical how useful it is.

Does he have noise cancelling headphones/Airpods Max or the like?

Airpods Max or the like?

Surprising suggestion coming from you. But I guess if the person in question is already Apple/Mac-oriented...

Im sure regular AirPods but AirPods max may be a good idea, thank you

Indeed

What age demographic is this for? A younger person or an elderly person?

I would think that perhaps a non-digital gift may be appreciated perhaps. For someone quarantining, who relies on technology a lot, I could think that they perhaps feel like they spend too much time staring at a screen. And while I can definitely hear the notion of improving that experience, if they already have all the technology it can be questioned whether marginally improving it will be worthwhile. On the other hand, you can get them books, games, puzzles, crafts, or other non-digital ways to use their time, and that may be more appreciated.

Again, this will depend on their age demographic, and on their specific personality.

Tablet mount/holder to use hands free, maybe with a light and remote to call common contacts

Sounds like this is for a lonely person.   You want them having more silence than they already have?

How about a gaming console to keep busy?

Nothing better than NC headphones when they're mowing the lawn next door.

Yeah Amazon has them too, just easier to exchange at any Apple store and has the engraving option. Was just impressed how they sell like hot potatoes.

Ordered with a gift message that the virus should fade away as fast as they will become outdated...  thank you!

Was a whopping success. Uses the AirPods and no longer needs to stay in quiet area every day for Zooms. Thank you!
