Giant Fonts for iPhone Mail

iPhone Mail Font Settings

iPhone Mail Font Settings

The iPhone Mail app offers an adjustable minimum font size. It is not obvious how to access this setting. Apple buried this feature in the Settings app and can not be accessed from the Mail app itself. From the home screen, tap on the Settings app. Then tap on the Mail, Contacts & Calendars tab. From there you can selcet the font size.

The options run from small to giant, though I do thot think that Apple uses the same dictionary that I do. Regardless, the size variation makes a significant difference in the readability of email messages. The settings also controls minimum font sizes in the Calendar and Contacts apps.  Multitouch zoom functions in Mail, so you can zoom in when the Giant font is not large enough. For, I also need to zoom in. Unfortunately, Calendar and Contacts do not allow zoom. None of these apps allow landscape mode either, which could also increase readability.

As you can see with these two screen shots,small is much smaller than giant. You can also see that giant is already pretty small.

    Apple really needs to make fonts adjustable in the calendar and contacts the way Blackberry does. An extra side button or two like Blackberry has wouldn’t hurt either.
