Syncing apps layout on the Home Screen from iPhone to

Is there a way to have apps laid out on the iPhone and have them sync to an iPad so they're basically the same display, same apps in the same place?


I haven't got my iPad yet, but using someone else's. Just getting ready.


Thanks very much.

Thanks. They have the same number of rows but an extra column, at least on the one I'm using. It still would be nice if there was a semblance of similarity. I wouldn't mind losing a column to have the devices the same. Moving around on these devices is so much based on muscle memory.


Thanks again.

The best that you can realistically achieve is to have multiple Home Screens on each device - restricting the number of App/App-folder icons on each page to the lowest common denominator. For each screen, arrange the icons to best mirror the two devices - accepting that complete mirroring of layout is not possible.


As such, each Home Screen can effectively have the same combination of Apps/App-folders.

You cannot synchronise the Home Screen layout.


Also consider that the screen size/aspect-ratio for the iPad and iPhone are entirely different - and as such, you cannot precisely replicate the layout of either device on the other, manually or otherwise.
