Hmmm, well, I got an iPad Mini 4 three months ago, so I started out with
that kind of setup, as in the Settings menu, so I got used to that being
just the way it was.

hi Jennie,
yes, that is what i meant.
I thought sieghard, was saying, that this could be done.
I wish it could be, as i can't stand the screen being in two halfs.
it still confuses me, even after having the iPad mini second gen, for
nearly
2 years.
I am not quite sure, why apple did it this way.
But thank you, for letting me know.
I think, that i will just stick with iPhones, in the future.
Take care,
Dave.

I really don't think you can make it so it isn't split screen. Like in
settings, the main group is on the left, and the sub group is on the
right.
I don't think you can change this. Is that what you mean?

Hi Sieghard,
I have the iPad mini second generation, and i have it set to portrait
mode.
I can't find any button, that will stop it, going into split screen.
looked all over settings, to no avail.
Would you know, where i find this button?
Dave.

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
