With the thousands of applications the iPhone has to offer, anyone in the family can have fun with this phone. Kids and senior citizens alike will discover applications that thrill and entertain. Read on to learn about the iPhone's many features.

Turn off or disable unused wireless radio functions. While not in use, they can reduce your battery power if they are still active. Wireless radios will include GPS, Bluetooth and wi-fi. Turn them off when you are not using them.

Make sure you use your iPhone connector cord carefully because they can damage easily. Gently remove the cord from any location when needed. If taken care of, the cord should be good for a year.

The advantage of the Safari browser on your iPhone is that you don't have to add .com at the end of a URL when you are surfing the Web. For example, if you want to visit Amazon.com, just type "Amazon" to get to the site.

Spend some time playing around with your phone. Unstructured experimentation with your iPhone will make you more comfortable with it, and you'll probably discover some useful features on your own. Just dedicate a good 30 minutes every day towards using your iPhone, and you should get the hang of it in a week or two.

If you do not want to use the iPhone suggestions for typing an email or note, it is not necessary to hit "x" to remove the box. Instead, tap the screen anywhere you would like and the suggestion box will go away.

You can get a recurring weather report with the Weather application. It automatically shows the current weather, but if you click on the current weather, it displays the hourly forecast. Another way to get an hourly breakdown is to request the weather from Siri.

To dry an iPhone that's wet, use rice. It is not uncommon to drop your phone in the toilet, a puddle of water or something else wet. In lieu of a hair dryer, pat the phone dry with a soft towel, then place in a plastic bag along with rice. After allowing it to sit for about half a day, the device should be back to normal.

Do not allow your iPhone to set in the sun for extended periods of time. Direct sunlight can damage not only the screen, but also the internal parts. The internal components are designed to endure only normal weather conditions; being in direct sunlight can cause extreme heat, especially during the summer.

Visit Facebook from your iPhone. This is a very handy way to access to Facebook on your iPhone.

You are likely aware you can set time-based reminders on your iPhone, such as "Remind me to cook dinner at 5 P.M." It gets better! You can also use reminders based on a particular location. As an example, you are able to say, "I need to call the dentist when I get home." You can use a variety of different reminder types with your iPhone.

If you know anyone with an iPhone, you have seen some get their minds blown by the technology in their hands, for better and for worse. In order to prevent this from happening to you, utilize all the information that you have just read.
