For the most part, it is like an iPhone on steroids. The frustrating part for me when I first had to learn to use one is the split screen layout it does in certain areas. For example, if you open settings, and I'd suggest having it in landscape mode when you do this. The screen will be in two columns. The left side will have all the major settings headings like the Apple ID, Airplane Mode, Wifi, etc. If one of those is selected, then you move to the right column and all the relevant settings for that topic. Also, if you have music on it and say you have your music by artist. The left side will have the artist name, and the right side will have the songs/albums. Mail is handled that way as well. I do not have access to a full iPad since I retired, but I would go into settings, under multi-tasking and dock and turn off the split keyboard and also turn off Siri suggestions in dock. What the iPad does is anytime you open an app, if Siri suggestions in dock is on, then the app icon will appear after the main dock icons and as you cross from say, music, to a suggestion it will say suggestion and then the app name, but the app icon will also stay where it was to begin with. Thus, you have two places you can find that app, so long as it is in the group of suggested apps. Personally, I find it less confusing, especially for people starting out, to turn that off so apps only appear in one place. Note, you can move a lot more apps to the dock than on an iPhone.
The split-keyboard business means the keyboard will show up as a tiny half keyboard in the lower left and right corners instead of across the bottom of the screen like on an iphone.

I bought my Mom a new iPad for Christmas. It came in last week, and I need to get a quick tutorial on how to use one, since I'll be helping her with updates and such as she needs these to happen. My main problem is understanding how things are laid out on the screen. I've got an iPhone SE, and think eight or so of those could fit on the iPad screen. Is the layout of information different since there's tons more space? Also, where is the keypad when you have to pair something, say, a Braille display, with the iPad?
