1. Want to create a list of your most-used phone numbers? No problem! The iPhone favorites gives you quickaccess to your most-used numbers. Simply select a contact and tap “Add to Favorites.” If you want to reorder the list, just tap Favorites, tap Edit and then drag the contact to a new place in the list.
2. Instead of scrolling all the way back up to the top of a long web page or email, just tap the status bar at the top and you’ll arrive at the top of the page.
3. Arrange the home screen to include your favorite and most-used applications through the iPod section. Push “Go to iPod,” “More,” the finally “Edit.” You can drag the icons around until the page is exactly what you want!
4. To save power (what serial user doesn’t want to do that?), turn off accessories when not in use, such as the WiFi or Bluetooth – they can drain the battery even when you’re not using them.
5. In many apps that utilize lists (like the Mail app), you can easily and quickly delete items by swiping your finger across them (much like crossing off an item on a list). This will then show a delete button that allows you to confirm the delete.
6. Want to quickly turn on all caps? A surprisingly simple yet relatively unknown feature allows you to do just that by simply double-tapping the shift key.
7. Don’t forget that Apple has an app for nearly everything. Whether you want to find a tasty Mexican restaurant near you or transcribe a voice message into text, there’s an app! Click here to find the free iPhone apps, app reviews and much more.
8. When using the web with the Safari browser, did you know you don’t actually have to type “www” or “.com?” When your search engine is set to Google, you simply just have to type the main domain. For example, just type “apple” instead of www.apple.com.
9. To quickly restart your iPhone, simply press and hold the Home and the Sleep buttons simultaneously. A light will flash and the screen will shut off then turn back on.
10. The guided tours on Apple’s iPhone How To section offers a plethora of information to help you learn how to use all the awesome features of the iPhone.
