By Stephanie Taba


You have just obtained your new iPhone and you're wondering what to do with it next. While new technology can be fun and exciting, it can also sometimes be confusing. With the simple tips in this article you will find some easy shortcuts that make life with your iPhone more fun and less complicated.

Surf the web at all time with the iphone. Now you can always have access to the internet when you upgrade to an iphone. You do not have to leave a question unanswered any longer. You have access to the world wide web and the answer to all your questions at all times.

If you accidentally drop your iPhone into water, do not proceed to turn it on! This can cause permanent damage to your phone because it will be short-circuited. Instead, you should use a towel to lightly dry it. Never use a hairdryer because this can push the moisture into the dry areas. Keep your phone in a bag or bowl of uncooked white rice overnight. If you do this, you have a better chance of reviving your phone.

While you can't delete the apps that come with your iPhone, you can certainly hide from view those that you rarely use. Try placing them in a folder together and placing the folder on the last page of your app lists. This way those rarely used apps that can't be deleted will at least be moved out of the way.

If you use a car charger with your iPhone, make sure you do not have your phone plugged in when turning the ignition on or off. Electrical spikes can occur when you are starting or turning off a car, and this can fry the main board of your iPhone. If you insist on using a car charger, buy only a brand-name charger because they typically have a higher quality fuse to protect your device.

Save yourself a little bit of time in Safari when typing web addresses. It is not necessary to type in the "www" or the ".com". You can simply type in an address like CNN and it will take you right to that site. This can save you a few keystrokes.

If you are going to buy a used iPhone, be sure that the seller offers a return policy. If your phone does not work the way you want it to or adequately meet your needs, you want to be sure you can take it back. If you buy new, the manufacturer will warranty the product if it is defective. Make sure your used iPhone offers the same to avoid wasting your money.

Try talking your data entry instead of typing it. iPhones with the newest operating system give you the ability to do this. When you see the virtual keyboard, look for the small microphone button to the left of the space bar. When you click that, you can speak what you want to type. You'll be surprised at how well, and how quickly, it works!

If you're a business person, it can be extremely beneficial for you to have an iPhone for work. Not only will you be able to call and text your colleagues from anywhere, but you can also send emails, visit work sites, and access important data from anywhere at any time.

Sometimes you want to see all of your appointments and notifications on your iPhone at once. You can do this quickly with one gesture. Just take your finger, start at the top of your screen and swipe down. This will give you all your info for the day at a glance.

Congratulations on your new iPhone purchase! Now that you are armed with some of the most basic, yet functional, tips you can begin using your new phone to simplify your life. Start with these basics and keep learning more. Before you know it, you will feel like an iPhone professional!
