Those of you who are using a ipad, have you thought about using a keyboard 
like the Matias Wireless Aluminum Keyboard for iPhone/Mac/Windows/Android?

This is why I make heavy use of containers on the iPad, especially in the 
settings app.  It makes navigating to the item you have chosen much easier.


I mainly use my iPad for reading books.  Where it makes a difference to me 
as opposed to using my iPhone is when reading Kindle books.  There is a 
noticeable pause when switching pages, so it doesn't seem as intrusive to me 
since with the larger screen, the pauses are less frequent.


All a matter of what works best for the individual.

I have a 2017 referbished iPAD as well as an iPHONE7. Frankly, things are a 
lot more frustrating for me on the iPAD. I find myself strongly gravitating 
to my iPHONE for pretty much everything other than consuming audio or binge 
reading. For instance, it's nice to be able to listen to internet radio 
without burning though my iPOD batteries and taking up my iPHONE. That 
leaves the iPHONE free for other things. However, if I'm working, or want to 
be ready to do other things while listening or reding, I'll use my iPHONE. 
Other than easier use of Braille screen input, I can't think of any 
advantages to using an iPAD other than the headphone jak.


Another thing to keep in mind is that the layouts of a whole lot of apps and 
things are very different as the designers attempt to use the extra space in 
the best way for sighted users. It can feel like starting from square one 
despite using the exact same apps and operating system as on your phone. I'm 
still glad I was able to get the iPAD due to the guide I'm in the process of 
writing. I'll be able to pint all this out and give exaples so my readers 
will hopefully make a more informed decision. I have a lot of spacial 
perceptin issues so that's doubtless a big part of why I so strongly prefer 
my iPHONE's smaller size. The smaller size does force app designers to 
separate apps into different tabs. The Settings app where you configure your 
iOS device is a prime example. The iPAd layout has everything in a tree 
format with branches expanding overtop of things when selected. Everything 
else still remains on the screen. On the iPHONE, the instant you double-tap 
on a setting area, everything else goes away and you can get right to what 
you want. When finished, the "back" button gets you out of where you've 
drilled down into.

I'd say the only time an iPad has advantages over an iPhone is if you have 
enough usable vision to take advantage of the larger screen to either view more 
or use greater magnification. Otherwise, I'd say an iPhone is easier to 
navigate with.

I think it really depends on what you are doing. There are still tasks I find 
easier to accomplish on a laptop, but I think that is more a windows vs mac 
situation.

I use my iPad and my iPhone almost interchangeably except that my phone is with 
me all the time and my iPad is not.

I guess that isn't especially helpful. Lol! If you have some specific tasks in 
mind I can try to address your questions.

can’t do on my iPhone compared to an iPad. I can see that if you use braille 
input the large iPad might be good, but if I really want to be able to type a 
lot I can just bring a bluetooth keyboard and use my iPhone. Some people also 
make the point about sound quality being bertter on an iPad and that is 
probably true due to it’s larger speakers which can be further apart, but you 
can just as easily use a bluetooth speaker if you want good sound quality. This 
has the added benefit that you can get one that is waterproof so if like me you 
listen to a lot of audio books you can bring it into the shower or outside etc. 
I am doing a fair bit of work outside right now getting my garden and yard into 
shape after a long and very snowy winter and I also do some woodworking either 
in my shop downstairs or outside and I can just have my iPhone in a safe spot 
in my belt case or put somewhere nearby and use my very tough dust and 
waterproof bluetooth speaker. If I am using any woodworking power tools which 
are noisy I wear ear protection anyways and I have a set of ear protection 
which have bluetooth as wel as a built-in FM radio so I can listen to the radio 
or my book or music on my iPhone. If you buy an iPad it’s another expensive 
device which you have to maintain and upgrade every 3 to 5 years, it won’t 
replace your iPhone so now you have to maintain and upgrade two devices. I also 
have an Apple Watch which I like because of the fitness/health application and 
to me that is more useful than an iPad and as it’s a piece of technology which 
also has a finite time before it needs to be upgraded, if you now have an 
iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch then things are starting to get really expensive.

If I just want to read and check, I use the iPad.  If I want to write, then go

Hi,



In what situations does an IPad have advantages over an IPone or a laptop 
computer?



Thanks.

  Remember that having an iPhone, iPad and laptop for most people is overkill. 
Sure, it is nice to have all this stuff, but I don’t see any need for an iPad 
in my life, I use my iPhone all the time and the argument that I want phone 
calls interrupting me or that I want to save my iPhone battery to me at least 
don’t make sense. If I am listening to an audio book on an iPad and I get a 
phone call I want to take it interrupts me anyways and in fact if I am 
listening on the iPad I first have to pause the iPad whereas on my iPhone 
whatever is playing pauses automatically when the phone rings and resumes again 
when I’m done. As for battery I just get a new one put in should it gert to the 
point where it doesn’t hold it’s charge any more, it’s a lot cheaper than 
spending $500 or more on an Ipad. If I am travelling there isn’t that much I 
can’t do on my iPhone compared to an iPad. I can see that if you use braille 
input the large iPad might be good, but if I really want to be able to type a 
lot I can just bring a bluetooth keyboard and use my iPhone. Some people also 
make the point about sound quality being bertter on an iPad and that is 
probably true due to it’s larger speakers which can be further apart, but you 
can just as easily use a bluetooth speaker if you want good sound quality. This 
has the added benefit that you can get one that is waterproof so if like me you 
listen to a lot of audio books you can bring it into the shower or outside etc. 
I am doing a fair bit of work outside right now getting my garden and yard into 
shape after a long and very snowy winter and I also do some woodworking either 
in my shop downstairs or outside and I can just have my iPhone in a safe spot 
in my belt case or put somewhere nearby and use my very tough dust and 
waterproof bluetooth speaker. If I am using any woodworking power tools which 
are noisy I wear ear protection anyways and I have a set of ear protection 
which have bluetooth as wel as a built-in FM radio so I can listen to the radio 
or my book or music on my iPhone. If you buy an iPad it’s another expensive 
device which you have to maintain and upgrade every 3 to 5 years, it won’t 
replace your iPhone so now you have to maintain and upgrade two devices. I also 
have an Apple Watch which I like because of the fitness/health application and 
to me that is more useful than an iPad and as it’s a piece of technology which 
also has a finite time before it needs to be upgraded, if you now have an 
iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch then things are starting to get really expensive.

2018-05-17 Thread Kimber Gardner 
I think it really depends on what you are doing. There are still tasks
I find easier to accomplish on a laptop, but I think that is more a
windows vs mac situation.

I use my iPad and my iPhone almost interchangeably except that my
phone is with me all the time and my iPad is not.

I guess that isn't especially helpful. Lol! If you have some specific
tasks in mind I can try to address your questions.

Re: IPhone versess IPad

2018-05-17 Thread Vicki W. 
I can't speak for everyone, but in my case, my mini IPad, because it is smaller 
than my laptop or desktop computer, works very nicely when I am traveling.

If I want to read for awhile or listen to a podcast, it is also more convenient 
to use at night after I have gone to bed.

I could use my phone, but I don't like phone calls interrupting what I am doing 
on my mini IPad.
