Looking at an iPad myself. Assuming I were to operate it in split screen
mode, How would I move between the open apps? Or, does each app have its own
section of screen? Finally are split screen users limited to only 2 open
apps presenting on the screen?

Unfortunately, turning off split screen mode does not make the mail app or
the settings app like it is on the iPhone. Split screen refers to the
ability to have two apps up on the screen at the same time. There are apps
such as the ones mentioned above, which, regardless of how split screen is
or is not on, present the user with two panes of information rather than a
simple one pain screen that you're familiar with on your iPhone. This will
definitely take getting used to. That's for example, on your iPhone, if you
go into the settings app, you must double tap accessibility in order to see
the accessibility settings. If you are on an iPad, and excess ability has
focus in the left-hand pane, on the right, the accessibility settings will
already be in view.

Hi Terri,
Yes, the iPad Mini is Apple's newest iPad Mini, it was first available for
purchase on September 9, 2015. However, while it came preinstalled with
iOS 9 just like the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus which were also released last
September, the iPad Mini only has an A8 processor and not the A9 of the
iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. That is Apple's second generation 64 Bit processor
and I don't think for your purposes this will make a noticeable
difference.
Compared to buying an iPod fifth Gen I think you made a good decision as
the iPad Mini will probably serve you better as a secondary device to use
at home. The nice thing is that Apple made the iPad Mini 4 lighter and
thinner than the previous generations, it is only 6.1mm thick which I
believe is the same thickness as an iPod Touch.
The iPad Mini 4 also has an upgraded 8 Megapixel rear and 1.2 Megapixel
front camera for selfis and video calls.
As Ed pointed out, if you want it to behave more like your phone, you can
turn off split view which splits the screen into two areas for some apps
like Mail. I think, however, that if you use the iPad Mini in portrait
mode it is like the iPhone anyways.
As for buttons it basically has just what your iPhone has: a home button
with Touch Id, volume up and down buttons, the power/sleep button and a
little flip switch like the one on the iPhone except on the iPad it isn't
used for muting your iPad, but it can be set up to lock in your
orientation in either portrait or landscape mode.
All in all iOS 9 on an iPad will be very much like iOS 9 on your iPhone,
but as Ray pointed out, due to the larger screen your gestures may have to
be a big bigger although this is much more the case with a full-size 9.7
inch iPad and I don't even want to guess how it would be on the large iPad
Pro.
I would just search Amazon for "iPad Mini keyboard cases" and see what
comes up.
Regards,
Sieghard

Subject: Questions regarding the iPad mini
Hello everybody,
Today I ordered an iPad mini from AT&T. I was able to get a promotion on
it, and it was a great deal for me. I'm very excited about this!
However, I have never had an iPad of any sort. How do they work? Are they
somehow different from an iPod?
What sorts of things can you do with them, that you cannot do with the
iPod?
I got done I pad mini for. The lady said that this was the latest
generation. I hope he is correct about that. I was able to get the 64 gig
model, and this really made me happy. Plus, I got it in silver. Not like
that really mattered. But I wanted to be a little different. They had
gold. But I thought that was a bit much! Will I be able to turn on voice
over by myself?
If so, how would I go about doing this?
Wooden buttons are on the iPad mini?
Also, is there a case I can get for the iPad mini, that comes with a
combination keyboard?
Or is this product too small for that?
Any help, or suggestions, would be very much appreciated.
Thank you so much!
Terri
