Answer 1

You don't need to create two different controller's for IPAD and IPHONE. Just create one controller with UICollectionView and then use UICollectionViewFlowLayout for your UICollectionView to set layout of UICollectionView according to the device weather it is IPAD or IPHONE Try this solution if you have any doubt pls let us know.

Try this solution

UICollectionViewFlowLayout *collectionViewFlowLayout = [[UICollectionViewFlowLayout alloc] init];
[collectionViewFlowLayout setScrollDirection:UICollectionViewScrollDirectionHorizontal];
self.myCollectionView.collectionViewLayout = collectionViewFlowLayout;

Also you can use multiple properties of UICollectionViewFlowLayout.

Check this solution and let me know if it works for you.
