Re: Using iPhone and iPad with VoiceOver - comparing apples toapples?

Marc,

I did not experience it first-hand, but we do test iPad under large view and iPhone under small view.

Yes, iPad handles things differently than the iPhone. That is why Voiceover functions differently.

I don't know all the ins and outs of it, but I just bought an iPad Mini 2 for testing purposes. I have not had a chance to play with it.

I just noticed that the iPad splits the view into a parent and child window. In other words, you can have "Settings" opened on the left side of the screen, while the list under "General" opened on the right side of it.

Personally, I don't like that view, but for sighted folks, it is nice.
