The iPhone can easily replace it thanks to the built-in gyroscope and magnetometer, as well as the straight edges of the case. The virtual layer can be accessed in pre-installed application"Compass".

If you actively use Safari, you have encountered a large number of open tabs. Closing them one by one is a thankless task. Fortunately, the browser has a hidden function that allows you to get rid of all tabs at once. To use it, hold your finger on the button in the lower right corner and select “Close N tabs.”
10. Quickly deletes numbers in a calculator
There is no button that deletes the last character typed. Many iPhone owners this fact is puzzling. They just don’t know that you can delete numbers one by one using a special gesture. Just swipe left on the field with the entered number.
Apple smartphones are some of the easiest to use, but many users use only the most basic features. If you just (thanks to Santa Claus!) got a new iPhone, this guide will help you figure it out and use your smartphone to its fullest.
First start
So, we unpacked the box, inserted the SIM card (into a special “sled” that slides out from the side using the i-hardware supplied with the device), turned on the device, saw the inscription “iPhone” and an arrow, pulling which you will unlock the screen. The first step is to select the language with which you prefer to use the device, the country, and allow the smartphone to use location data. You can refuse geopositioning, but then it will be impossible, in particular, to use navigation in mapping applications.
For settings new iPhone you need to either connect your smartphone to a computer running , or simply connect to any available Wi-Fi networks. iPhone will be sent to Apple data about the first launch, after which you will be asked to configure it using data from the previous device (they are saved on your computer in iTunes or on Apple servers in the iCloud cloud), or as new.
If you have not used Apple services or devices before, you will need to create a AppleID- identifier associated with your address Email, which allows you to download applications, music and movies in iTunes store, use iCloud and others Apple services. For full use(for example, app and video purchases), you will need to enter information about bank card. But if you are ready to make do with free programs, you don’t have to enter your credit card information.
When registering as an Apple ID, any email address will do. You should be especially careful when choosing a password. It won’t be possible to make it too simple - the system simply won’t accept enough strong password. But you shouldn’t choose a sequence of characters that is too complicated to enter - the iPhone will prompt you for it quite often, at least every time you download a new application.
All that remains is to accept Terms of use iOS - that's what it's called operating system iPhone, iPad and players iPod touch, refuse to send information about the use of the device to Apple (this way you will save traffic). In addition, you have to choose whether to use the cloud iCloud storage, and the iPhone is ready to go.
Interface
The first thing you see after unlocking the device is the home screen with icons of standard applications - mail, browser, calendar, phone, etc. They can be swapped or moved to subsequent screens, but cannot be deleted (unlike applications downloaded from the store). To enter editing mode, just hold your finger on the icon for a second and a half. It makes sense to move the applications that you will use most often to the bottom row, which is displayed on each screen.
To get to the home screen at any time, just press the home button below it. If you swipe from left to right or press the home button while on home screen, the search screen will be displayed. By entering a request in search bar you can search all the contents of your smartphone, find applications, songs, movies, etc. At the very bottom of the list of options offered during the process of entering a request, there are items for searching on the Web or on Wikipedia.
Important element iPhone interface- the notification panel that appears when you swipe from the top edge of the screen. In its upper part widgets are grouped - small panels with brief information about the weather, stock prices, and a widget for quickly sending status to Twitter or Facebook. The weather will certainly come in handy, but the other two can be easily hidden by going to Settings (the icon with gray gears) to the Notification Center item and choosing which widgets to display.
The main function of the Notification Center is to collect all notifications from various programs. Once there, you can view all unread emails, Twitter mentions, Instagram likes, messages, etc.
Communications
A smartphone is also a tool for communication. iPhone allows you to communicate on the go not only using traditional calls or SMS, but also via email, social networks and free Internet instant messengers. Setting up an email account is as simple as possible - in most cases, you just need to enter your username and password. Staff mail client most convenient for working with email iCloud accounts and has become a corporate standard in many companies Microsoft Exchange. If you set up mail iPhone client to work with such accounts ("Settings" > "Mail, addresses, calendars"), messages will be delivered to the smartphone instantly using Push technology.
For other “mails” - Gmail, Mail.Ru, Yandex.Mail, etc. - it is preferable to install the official client application. The built-in client, when working with such an account, will only be able to check the mail for new receipts every 15 minutes, no more often, but the application from the creators postal service will notify you of a new letter immediately.
The year before last year Apple introduced its own exchange service instant messages via the Network - iMessage. It allows you to exchange messages with owners of other Apple devices over the Internet, and even more conveniently than regular SMS - you will see when your message was delivered, when it was read, and also when the recipient began typing a response. To enable iMessage, you need to go to Settings > Messages. You will need to register your phone number or email address to use the system. Activating your new account can take up to several hours, so you may need to be patient.
Russian users, however, would be better suited For this purpose, the VKontakte messenger is used - accounts on this social network are much more widespread in Russia than Apple smart devices. With the help official application"VK Messages" can also correspond with those friends who use smartphones or tablets on other platforms, or just sit at home at the computer. Those who still use ICQ should not worry - there is a high-quality official client for this messaging system that was popular in the past. You can also install the multi-platform WhatsApp messenger, which is available on almost all modern and many outdated smartphone platforms.
If you still want to send full-fledged SMS for free, you can download programs such as, for example, SMS Center. The application allows you to send 30 messages per month for free, to any phone number. If you exceed this limit, you will have to pay extra for additional package(such SMS are still many times cheaper than from a telecom operator).
Finally, apple phone allows you to make voice and video calls over the Internet, bypassing the network mobile operator and saving significantly - for this you can install Skype or use Apple’s own development, FaceTime. In the latter case, you will only be able to call other Apple devices.
Many phones now have tariffs with unlimited Internet, so making a call over the network will cost much less than usual, especially if the phone is connected to Wi-Fi. You can also call regular numbers via Skype. phone numbers, however, you will have to pay for this service (usually less than for the same call at your operator’s tariffs, and if in roaming and via Wi-Fi, then tens of times less).
Music Video
It is believed that iOS is a very “closed” system. Really, direct access to files and folders on mobile devices There has never been an Apple, no (unless you jailbreak, of course) and most likely never will be. If on an Android smartphone or handset with Windows Phone You can copy any file (song, application, movie, photo, etc.) from your computer directly, like to a regular flash drive, but with an iPhone this number will not work.
One of the main functions of smartphones is playing music and videos. There are several ways to download content to iPhone. The most traditional one is to connect it with a cable to the computer and upload it from the library iTunes programs(where it must first be added). You can also upload movies in the same way, but only files with the extensions .mp4, .m4v or .mov will be played. The usual .avi or .mkv will have to be converted, or a special player installed that supports their playback. Most popular app this kind is AVPlayer. Although you won't be able to bypass iTunes, at least you will be spared the hassle of converting videos. However, where the majority Russian users take films and TV series, there is also a tendency to switch to .mp4 files, most likely, in a couple of years it will become dominant.
But there are other options. First of all (please don't laugh) you can now buy music and movies directly from your iPhone in the iTunes store. Secondly, by subscribing to iTunes service Match (about 800 rubles per year) you can create a copy of your music collection from your computer on Apple servers and listen to all your music streaming from the Internet, or download it from there to your iPhone for offline listening.
Thirdly, you can use various cloud services. If you have a VKontakte account, using the official client application for iOS, you can listen to music directly from there - from your selection of audio recordings, from the collections of friends, or simply by finding the songs you need by searching. There is also “Yandex.Music” - the service allows you to listen to and download any amount of music to your iPhone for 100 rubles a month. If you don’t want to pay, the application can also play music saved in the Yandex.Disk cloud storage. For a small music collection, the 10 gigabytes provided there are enough. Finally, no one bothers you to upload music to Dropbox and listen directly from there, although this is (for now) not very convenient.
To watch movies online, in addition to VKontakte, there are online cinemas, the most popular of which on iOS are Play and ivi.ru. The range of films there is not dizzyingly rich, but the most popular films recent years presented.
Working with data
Some people don’t immediately understand how to delete an unnecessary song, message or SMS from iPhone. To delete an object, you need to swipe (swipe across the screen) left or right directly on the file name. After this, the “delete” button will appear. To take a screenshot of the screen, you need to press the lock button and the home key at the same time.
Many Apple users do not know how to remove an audiobook from an iPhone. Most people do this through iTunes, not realizing that there is a much easier way. Indeed, for some unknown reason, swiping on an audiobook does not bring up the “delete” menu. However, this can be done through the settings. Go to the "Settings" application, select the "General" item, and the "Statistics" directory. The “storage location” menu will load at the top. Select the “music” item in it, find the desired audiobook, swipe and delete it.
All iPhones older than the 3G model support multitasking. This means that the applications you exited from are not closed, but minimized. To move from one application to another, you need to quickly press the home button twice. A menu with shortcuts will appear at the bottom open applications, click on the one you want and you will switch to it. It should be noted that not all applications in this menu are actually open. The iPhone keeps a kind of log of all open applications from the moment it is turned on. Really open and working in background only the last of them. iPhone automatically kills old processes to free up memory. So, if you try to return to an application after which you have used several dozen more programs, it will not resume, but will simply start over.
Quantity at one time open source software varies depending on the phone model (iPhone 5 can simultaneously store many more programs than iPhone 4S or 4) and from the applications themselves. The situation is exactly the same with pages in the browser; old pages are unloaded from memory to ensure performance.
If desired, the user can delete unnecessary applications from memory to speed up your phone. To do this, you need to long press on any shortcut in the menu for switching between applications, delete icons will appear. "Kill" the last ones open processes. There is no need to delete everything, they are already inactive, and just shortcuts are displayed in the menu.
If desired, after double click You can swipe left on the Home button. A screen will open where you can quickly jump to audio recordings, switch tracks, or “lock” the screen position. Last function especially convenient when you use the phone while lying down. Another swipe to the left will take you to a menu where you can adjust the volume. It will come in handy if for some reason physical buttons The volume controls stopped working. There is also an AirPlay switch - a technology that allows you to output music and video via Wi-Fi to compatible devices ().
How to extend your battery life
Many people are faced with the fact that the iPhone does not last long enough on battery power. This is true, but the duration of operation without charging can be greatly increased. If you have an iPhone 5, be sure to turn off LTE support. In Russia it is still useless, domestic networks of the fourth iPhone generation do not support. Also, if desired, you can disable 3G support if for some reason the new generation network does not receive reception where you live or you simply do not need it fast internet. If you don't use Wi-Fi, turn that off too, it also uses up your battery.
Turning off notifications and reducing the screen brightness to a minimum will help save battery. If desired, you can activate airplane mode by completely turning off the telephone module. In this mode, the device will last a very long time without recharging, although it will not be much more useful than a regular media player.
Other applications
In the app store App Store more than 600,000 programs for iPhone, paid and free, but not all of them are equally useful. You should not be afraid that buying software will require too much investment - quality free programs very, very much. For many paid applications may be completely free analogues, which cope with the task no worse, but at the same time display advertising.
Firstly, you will have to take care of navigation applications. IN new iOS Apple has decided to abandon Google Maps and installed its own mapping service on the iPhone by default, which is still inaccurate, clunky and even . Unfortunately, it is impossible to remove it, but you can shove it somewhere out of sight and out of mind. You can find many high-quality and free applications to replace it.
You can install everyone's favorite Google Maps, which is finally out on iOS. The program provides detailed maps with street panoramas and user-friendly interface. You can also use domestic mapping services, which still know the territory of Russia a little better than their Western counterpart. Download the well-known Yandex.Maps, a beautiful and functional navigation service that also provides up-to-date information about traffic jams. For those who drive a car, Yandex.Navigator - one of the few high-quality and free navigator programs in the App Store - will become an invaluable assistant. There are also foreign free navigators, however, a Yandex product the more useful it is, which provides local data on traffic jams, traffic events, security cameras and more.
I can also recommend the “city expert” 2GIS - another high-quality domestic program. It's different from cards Google themes, which does not require an Internet connection to work. When first launched, the user downloads a map of his city, and then simply uses the application without downloading anything (a similar feature recently appeared in Yandex.Navigator). 2GIS contains addresses and phone numbers of hundreds of nearby pharmacies, restaurants, shops, hospitals, theaters and other establishments. It also shows their opening hours.
That's it for the list navigation programs you can finish. Of course, there are many more of them, for example, good Rambler Maps, iGdeAvtobus, Progorod and hundreds of others. However, the above applications are quite enough to navigate anywhere. The rest of the programs will most likely remain dead weight on the phone.
Now let's move on to "social" applications. Almost all major social media have their own clients on iOS, so be sure to download them for yourself. They are much more convenient to use than the web version of the site. Apps can send you notifications about incoming messages and consume much less data. For each popular network There are a few third party applications, however in most cases best choice It will be official. They are updated frequently and work smoothly: Facebook, Twitter. If you wish, you can register in exclusively smartphone social networks, such as Foursquare or Instagram. The first social network allows you to “check in” in various places so that your friends can know where you are or read your opinion about a particular cafe, cinema, attraction, etc. The second is intended for applying filters to photographs and posting pictures on the Internet. However. This social network has many problems, so many users chose to simply leave it. You can now apply beautiful “filters” to your photos directly from Twitter apps, Vk and many others.
Download special application not necessary for weather forecasts. The standard one copes quite well with its functions; in addition, the weather forecast is broadcast on the notification panel by default.
From office programs First of all, we should recommend the cloud notebook Evernote. It automatically syncs all your notes so you can access all of your notes online. In addition, it allows you to add photos and other materials to your notes, conveniently sort them, and much more. The free office suite Office Plus copes with its responsibilities quite well, allowing you to edit documents of all major formats.
You can also download news reading programs to your phone: VESTI, Lenta.ru, RBC, Vedomosti and others. If you want to read books, download iBooks - convenient program, developed by Apple. It does not support all formats, but it is beautifully designed. Books will have to be transferred via iTunes, or purchased from Apple store (Russian-language books there is not enough in it), or put it in Dropbox and download from there. In addition, some books can be imported into the iPhone directly from the site where they are downloaded from (not a word about Flibusta.net). The program also reads PDF, but such files are most often formatted large screens computers, and therefore are not very convenient for reading on an iPhone.
To read QR codes with your camera (the fancy squares often found in advertisements that are graphical links to websites), download QRReader or any similar application, they are all almost the same. To navigate the unfamiliar shopping centers, WizeeShopping will come in handy. To watch TV from your phone via the Internet, any of hundreds of synthesizer programs will do. And if you don’t mind 5 dollars, then own Garage Band Apple development will allow you not only to play keyboards, bass, guitar or drums, but also to record full-fledged compositions with several audio tracks.
If after reading the material you still have any questions, do not hesitate to ask them on our Twitter
If you need to hang a picture on the wall, but don’t have a level at hand, it doesn’t matter. The iPhone can easily replace it thanks to the built-in gyroscope and magnetometer, as well as the straight edges of the case. The virtual level can be accessed in the pre-installed Compass application. Just launch the program and swipe left (the level is on the second screen).
2. Displays battery wear
A new feature has appeared that shows the battery status of the iPhone. With its help, you can check what percentage the current maximum battery capacity is from the original one. To do this, go to settings and open the “Battery” → “Battery Status” section.
3. Takes a quick series of photos
Sometimes you have to shoot some kind of dynamic subject, for example, a sports game or pets. In such cases, the photos often turn out blurry. The continuous shooting mode will help you, to activate it you just need to hold the shutter button.
4. Fixes camera exposure and focus
The smartphone does not always determine the exposure and focus in the best way, which can result in photos that are too light/dark or blurry. But you can adjust the focus and exposure manually. Simply turn on the camera and hold your finger over the area you want to focus on. Then adjust the brightness of the photo using the slider. The settings will be saved even if you move the camera.
5. Takes photographs by pressing buttons on the headset
Another photo trick. Many people know that you can take a photo by pressing the volume key on your iPhone (convenient for selfies). But few people think that you can take photos using a headset in the same way. Can be useful in cases where you take photographs with a smartphone mounted on a tripod.
6. Allows you to set a unique vibration for each contact
Just like individual ringtones for each subscriber, you can also set unique vibration alerts. This makes sense if you frequently attend meetings, meetings, and other situations where you need to use silent mode. To set an individual vibration, you need to open the desired one, click “Edit” → “Ringtone” → “Vibration” → “Create vibration” and set up your own pattern.
7. Charges faster when airplane mode is on
If you're in a hurry and need to charge your iPhone in a limited time, use a simple trick - turn on airplane mode. Charging will go noticeably faster than usual. But do not forget that in airplane mode they will not be able to contact you via the Internet or cellular networks.
8. Turns your keyboard into a trackpad
Imagine a typical situation: you typed words and noticed a typo in them. In such cases, you have to hold your finger on the text and move the cursor to the place of the error, which is very inconvenient. Instead, it is better to hold your touch on any area - it will turn into a special trackpad for controlling the cursor. With it you can edit text much faster.
9. Instantly closes all tabs in Safari at once
If you actively use Safari, then you have encountered a cluster of a large number of open tabs. Closing them one by one is a thankless task. Fortunately, the browser has a hidden function that allows you to get rid of all tabs at once. To use it, hold your finger on the button in the lower right corner and select “Close N tabs.”
10. Quickly deletes numbers in a calculator
There is no button that deletes the last character typed. This fact confuses many iPhone owners. They just don’t know that you can delete numbers one by one using a special gesture. Just swipe left on the field with the entered number.
