Ok, in settings, the left edge was a sidebar with all the topic areas, and whichever was selected, those options were laid out in the main part of the screen to the right. YOu didn't have to do the scrub back gesture to get back to the list of topics, they are always down the left edge, so run a finger down there and tap something else, and all that appears in the main part of the screen to the right. This is done on anything with a larger screen. iTunes and appstore worked in a similar manner. I always used the Mini in landscape mode, the iPhone always in portrait.

To be specific, please give an example of a screen such as the Settings or General screen where a larger screen will make navigation easier. thank you Joseph ----- Original Message ----- From: "Teresa Cochran" <batsfly...@me.com> To: <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Monday, July 28, 2014 7:17 AM Subject: Re: This might seem like a strange question about ipad mini vs iphone I'm seriously thinking of getting an iPad. I'm looking forward to utilizing a larger screen that will display more information without having to scroll as much. In my mind, it's similar to having greater screen resolution with a screen-reader. There's more information available on a single screen at any given time. However, I'm going to compromise and get a Mini with retina display, which has the same processor as the iPad Air, but has a more manageable screen size for me and costs $100 less. I don't see paying $100 US more just for more screen.
