Making the Most of Your iPhone
If you’re an iPhone user, you might feel like you have it all at this point. And why wouldn’t you? With a phone, Internet access, games, music, and a built-in digital camera all in one sexy little package. There are few little things you can do to make your iPhone work even harder for you.
Get more in less space – setting the font to the smallest size lets you read more of a story or email in the screen. This makes checking email a faster process. But if you find it hard to see, just increase the font size for more comfortable reading. What’s great is that you can adjust the font to your personal preferences.
Add to spell check – To make you look good, iPhone flags a word that it thinks is misspelled. Sometimes it’s a business related word or just a slang word, but it’s not an error. To “teach” your iPhone a new word, press 3 times to cancel the correction and the word will become part of your iPhone dictionary!
Take a closer look – The iPhone has a magnifying glass that lets you zoom in on a section of words. Tapping and holding brings up the magnifying glass. Focusing on the area you’re editing makes it easier to focus on this smaller screen.
Bring on the videos – The iPhone offers the option to watch videos but they have to be in the right format. YouTube is cozy with Apple, so the videos posted work well on the iPhone.
Get a designer theme – After spending all that money on an iPhone, you certainly don’t want yours to have the same theme as someone else has. Why not download free iPhone themes directly into the phone? Download the “Hack Toolkit” to get into the iPhone and change themes. Several Internet sites offer these themes.
I’m sure there are loads of little shortcuts and techniques out there to make your iPhone work harder, faster, and better. What are some of the little things you’ve found while playing around with your iPhone?
