Apple iPad series - Chapter 3: Using Your iPad’s Physical and Virtual Controls

3
The iPad has a minimalist design, so you won’t
see ugly ports or extra buttons protruding from
every side like a typical laptop or netbook.
Instead, the iPad offers only four physical but-
tons: Sleep/Wake, Silent/Screen Rotation Lock,
Volume Up/Down, and the Home button. By
learning how to use these buttons, you can
control how your iPad behaves.
Besides these physical controls, the iPad
also provides virtual controls for locking the
screen orientation or adjusting the sound. By
learning to use the iPad’s physical and virtual
controls, you can control the major features of
your iPad.
