Clueless apple guy over here - I want to give my kid (9) a 'device' that he can use for spotify, audible, borrowbox. only - nothing else - I wan't him to be able to get into music/audio (like i did with a sony tape walkman) - without having to helicopter parent over youtube / games / web access. Is modding an old android phone with nova launcher the way ?

Android devices (or mine at least) have a kids mode where you can choose the apps they have access to. No access to settings, store or whatever else if you don't grant them access.

ta - can restrict on apple too to a degree - but hardwear is spenny obvs. I think android is more customisable if you get into the nerdy launcher stuff. and old phones are cheaper.
