Preach anything you like. But the fact remains; when this discussion began, you DID NOT tell me I could pinch and expand. You gave me a list of steps, to go into SETTINGS and a big ringamarole. Neither the snobs at the Club, nor the Verizon Techs could show me how. Good bye!

Yes, I did. My first comment to YOU was this:

"Uh, Tucker, it's worked that way on iPhones from the very first iPhone. . . even on FreeRepublic's pages. How come you didn't try it on the iPhone you had? Android copied that from the iPhone. You can see Steve Jobs demonstrate that feature on the original iPhone in the original KeyNote presentation from January 2007, long before the first touch screen Android phone was ever made. Alternately, you can just double tap a column of print and it will expand to fit the screen."

You've spent the last several comments you've made trying to argue the indefensible, claiming that iPhones do not pinch to zoom when WE KNOW THEY DO. Don't try to teach experts something YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT! They will hand you your head. Mark17 provided you with the original very pertinent response that was ALSO on point to your statement, thinking you already knew how to use a multi-touch phone. Now it is obvious you did not. You just continued to argue something we knew not to be true. . . and repeated your claims and then built a house-of-cards higher and more rickety adding to your claims that were even more unbelievable.

I have no ill will. All I have done is state the FACTS, as they happened. Neither the Techs at Verizon, nor my friends the iphone snobs, could show me how to do it. Next time, I’ll try it again.

Sorry. I tried the pinch and expand. It would not do it. I was flabberghasted that the Verizon Techs couldn’t help me; to the point of voiding the iphone sale, and selling me this Galaxy S-4 instead. Sorry. Those are the unvarnished facts.
