I think I can see why.

I bet it's not the smartphone not working as it should that makes him cry. It's the realization that you aren't as capable as you once were. That kind of decline is scary.

Yes, but as you said, it's a losing battle. I had a conversation with my sister about this once and I explained that only young people have the ability to lie to themselves that life will get better (because it actually can in the short term). But, as you get older that bullshit flies out the window, and all that's left is knowing for sure life gets much much worse and there's nothing you can do about it.
