Hi, I bought a used iPad recently. It's primary use so far is for my son to play Minecraft, but I won't tell him that. It's set up under my Apple ID and I'm slowly setting it up to be a backup to my iPhone for some things like reading audio books. I'm definitely finding it harder to adjust to the layout than I thought. It came with some widgets on the home screen that I have never used on my phone and I still need to get a sense of how I want to organize it, given the larger real estate. It also took me a bit to get used to Settings, were the menu is on the left and the options are on the right; that seems to mean the flicking left and right isn't as reliable, as I have to get focus in the right place first.
Probably the biggest surprise is how different the keyboard is. It took me a long time to find an exclamation point for a password I have. I'm really surprised that the number and symbols keyboards don't mirror the iPhone - or maybe it's that I always use my iPhone in portrait mode and the landscape keyboard would be more similar to the iPad. I'm also finding it tricky to use control panel as I seem to get it open, then somehow touch the wrong place and close it. Does control panel not fill the whole screen like it does on the iPhone? Why did I just think it was a larger version of my phone? Anyway, just looking for other advice on adjusting or switching between the two. My ego has taken a hit with this thing.
