I have iPhone XS and iPad 2018. This iPad is noticeably slower than the iPhone and it struggled so much to download that Accessible Learn to Code ePub book that I gave up and downloaded it with my iPhone. I have a small fragment of central vision left, so getting text up very large in some apps on iPad still works at times for me, but purchased Books with huge font sizes are very sluggish when I swipe to change pages. I’m considering getting one of the iPad Pro models due to be announced this year because it will be faster. When I eventually can see nothing, I will only use an iPhone. Regards Harry
