Perform a multi-finger swipe or drag. Tap the menu button, then tap Device, More, then Gestures. Tap the number of digits needed for the gesture. When the corresponding circles appear on the screen, swipe or drag in the direction required by the gesture. When you finish, tap the menu button.

Perform a pinch gesture. Tap the menu button, tap Favorites, and then tap Pinch. When the pinch circles appear, touch anywhere on the screen to move the pinch circles, then drag the pinch circles in or out to perform a pinch gesture. When you finish, tap the menu button.

Create your own gesture. You can add your own favorite gestures to the control menu (for example, tap and hold or two-finger rotation). Tap the menu button, tap Favorites, then tap an empty gesture placeholder. Or go to Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > Create New Gesture.

Example 1: To create the rotation gesture, go to Settings > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > Create New Gesture. On the gesture recording screen that prompts you to touch to create a gesture, rotate two fingers on the iPad screen around a point between them. If it doesn’t turn out quite right, tap Cancel and try again. When it looks right, tap Save and give the gesture a name—maybe “Rotate 90.” Then, to rotate the view in Maps, for example, open Maps, tap the AssistiveTouch menu button, and choose Rotate 90 from Favorites. When the blue circles representing the starting finger positions appear, drag them to point around which you want to rotate the map, then release. You might want to create several gestures with different degrees of rotation.

Example 2: Let’s create the touch and hold gesture that you use to start rearranging icons on your Home screen. This time, on the gesture recording screen, hold down your finger in one spot until the recording progress bar reaches halfway, then lift your finger. Be careful not to move your finger during recording, or the gesture will be recorded as a drag. Tap Save and name the gesture. To use the gesture, tap the AssistiveTouch menu botton and choose your gesture from Favorites. When the blue circle representing your touch appears, drag it over a Home screen icon and release.

Lock or rotate the screen, adjust iPad volume, or simulate shaking iPad. Tap the menu button, then tap Device.

Simulate pressing the Home button. Tap the menu button, then tap Home. Move the menu button. Drag it anywhere along the edge of the screen.

Exit a menu without performing a gesture. Tap anywhere outside the menu. To return to the previous menu, tap the arrow in the middle of the menu.

The Apple MD510LL/A, MD528LL/A, MD512LL/A, MD330LL/A, and MD513LL/A represent a suite of devices from Apple that have contributed significantly to the landscape of mobile technology. Each model, while serving similar purposes, has its unique set of features and characteristics that cater to different user needs.

The MD510LL/A, more commonly known as the iPad mini with Retina Display, is celebrated for its compact size and high-resolution screen. It boasts a 2048 x 1536 pixel Retina display, providing crystal-clear visuals that enhance everything from reading to gaming. Powered by the A7 chip with 64-bit architecture, performance is notably swift, enabling smooth multitasking and application performance. The device also supports Wi-Fi and 4G LTE, ensuring constant connectivity.

Next, the MD528LL/A, which is part of the iPad Air lineup, further pushes the envelope in terms of power and design. It features a larger 9.7-inch Retina display and a thinner, lighter design, emphasizing portability. Like the MD510LL/A, it also uses the A7 chip, ensuring it can handle demanding applications with ease. The iPad Air supports advanced Wi-Fi technologies, allowing for faster internet speeds, making it a favorite for media consumption and productivity tasks.

The MD512LL/A, also known as the iPad Air 2, introduces several enhancements over its predecessor. It is thinner at just 6.1 mm, making it one of the slimmest tablets available at its time of release. The device features improved camera capabilities, including an 8MP rear camera, allowing users to capture high-quality photos and videos. Additionally, the A8X chip delivers even more graphics performance, which is particularly beneficial for gaming and demanding applications.

The MD330LL/A is recognized as the iPad 4, which, while an older model, still offers solid performance for everyday tasks. This device sports a 9.7-inch Retina display similar to the iPad Air and is powered by the A6X chip, which is capable of handling basic tasks and apps efficiently. Its robust build and decent battery life make it a reliable option for users not requiring the latest technology.

Lastly, the MD513LL/A represents the iPad mini 3. It retains the beloved form factor of the mini while introducing Touch ID functionality for added security and convenience. The device is powered by the A7 chip, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of apps and features, while the 7.9-inch Retina display continues to provide stunning visuals.
