Can anyone suggest a solution to this?
My wife loves her iPad but needs a big screen, because she has MS and her hands are too unsteady

For the last few months there have been rumours of a new larger iPad to be released later this year. People have been calling it the iPad Pro and it's supposed to have a 12" screen. The larger screen size of this iPad, if Apple actually releases it, should make it easier for your wife to use.

Thank you! A 12 inch screen would certainly help. MS makes a number of common iPad manipulations impossible: for example, my wife cannot spread her fingertips to zoom the screen magnification in order to make the buttons bigger. Maybe I can make a pair of mechanical fingers to do this.... I suspect that many people, not just MS sufferers, have similar finger problems.
