The document compares the user experience differences between the iPhone and iPad. It discusses 5 key differences: 1) Screen size (iPhone has a smaller screen vs iPad's bigger screen), 2) Orientation (iPhone is portrait-oriented while iPad supports both portrait and landscape), 3) Familiarity of UI (iPhone UI is more familiar while iPad allows more creativity), 4) Private vs shared use (iPhone is private while iPad is more shared), and 5) Mobility (iPhone is very mobile while iPad is more of a hybrid hand/desk device). The document provides examples of how these differences should be considered when designing apps for each platform.
iPhone vs iPad - User Experience Differences
- 1. iPhone vs. iPad User Experience Differences
- 2. Hello! I’m Rustam Iskandarov, I’m doing UX at SoftServe
- 3. We talk about High-level UX features, to consider when you design apps for iPhone and iPad
- 4. 1. Small vs. BIG
- 5. Limited screen size (displays single screen at a time) • less data displayed; • less controls visible and available on a single screen; • smaller buttons; • slow interaction.
- 6. BIG screen (displays more data on a single screen; allows split-view, a-la 2 screens at a time) • more data displayed; • more controls visible and available on a single screen; • big buttons; • faster interaction.
- 7. 2. Portrait vs. Landscape
- 8. Portrait - is default and natural orientation. See the phone in your hand? It is good to support both orientations.
- 9. No default orientation. But, iPad strives to computer display, which is landscape oriented, which is more natural for human perception. Landscape – is more natural orientation. So it’s a MUST to support both.
- 10. 3. Familiar vs. Surprising
- 11. Strict and familiar UI behavior Lots of Apps are used for a years People expect that your application’s UI will have similar behavior and interaction.
- 12. New UI behavior Even in native apps some controls, behavior, interaction is inconsistent. But, You’ve got a space for creativity to enhance interactivity, add some sexy metaphor to interaction, surprise your customers )
- 13. 4. Private vs. Shared
- 14. Private hand-held mobile device, basically for personal use
- 15. Shared The screen can be easily viewed by 3-4 users around you… iPad invites social interaction, public presentations, etc.
- 16. 5. Mobile vs. Hybrid
- 17. Very Mobile It is intend to be used with one hand, in any condition, in any situation (when user walk, run, jump, drive a car... Anything)
- 18. Hand/desk hybrid device (intend to be used more leisurely with both hands, or like a laptop)
- 19. Consider this high-level features, before you dig into details riskandarov@gmail.com
