My initial training was on an IPad. I had problems keeping track of where I was on the screen. This problem is muss less with my iPhone 4S.
I do have fine motor problems which, I'm sure, add to this problem. My iPhone will have to be replaced soon and I hope I don't have any serious problems adjusting to the iPhone 6.
