Don't Know If IPhone Is Right For You? Learn About This Amazing Device Here

There are many smartphones on the market these days. They do everything from making standard phone calls, to taking pictures and running apps. Of all the smartphones that exist, there are none that can really compare to the iPhone. What are the benefits and advantages of owning an iPhone over another smartphone? Find out by reading the following article.

One of the things that you can do when you are typing a message on your iPhone is to double tap the space bar, which will automatically add in a period for you. This is much more functional and practical than going to three different screens to find the period on your phone.

A great benefit of having an iPhone is that you do not need to purchase a GPS system. The iPhone contains an accurate GPS system. Since the iPhone's GPS system already knows current location, simply put in your desired destination, and you will receive concise directions, just as you would with a regular GPS system.

You probably already know you can set audio alerts on your iPhone. Did you realize you could have a visual alert, too? Go to Accessibility in the General section of Settings. You will see "LED Flash for Alerts." Switch that to on, and your LED light will flash when you have an alert.

It is very easy to share a URL from your iPhone. To do this, just tap on the URL of the page that you are looking on. Then, tap on share. A new email will pop up containing the URL and all you have to do is type in the name of the recipient.

To get personal with your iPhone and Siri, try teaching Siri your family's names. For instance, you can teach Siri your spouse's name. Then instead of speaking out your spouse's full name when you want to call him or her, you can say instead "Call my husband" or "Call my wife." It's much more personable!

A new feature the iPhone has that many people do not know about is its built-in dictionary. This can even be used as you are writing an email or text message. If there is a word that you are unsure about, just tap on it and you will see "define" pop up--tap on it!

A good iphone tip is to do a bit of research before buying apps. There are usually many reviews online of apps that will tell you how good or bad the app is and most especially, whether it's trustworthy and worth the money. Check the reviews first so you know what you're getting into.

For faster photo taking, tap twice on your iphone's home button, and a camera icon will appear. Tap it again, and it will immediately bring up access to the camera. You can snap a picture using the volume (up) button on the phone or on the headphone cord. A pinch of the screen will allow for zooming.

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.

With so many awesome games and apps available for the iPhone, it's no wonder that more and more parents are allowing their kids to use the devices. Protect your children by accessing the phone's General Settings screen, then selecting the Restrictions feature. You can limit kids' access to the Internet or even disallow display of explicit language. Create a parental passcode and you're good to go!

You can dramatically increase the utility of the Maps app on your iPhone by using the "drop pin" feature to set your own landmarks. All you need to do is tap a location on the map screen and hold it until the pin appears. This is a great way to quickly store locations you'll need to find again.

Now that you've read this article, do you see how great the iPhone is in comparison to all of the other smartphones that are available? Even though there are other functional smartphones out there, they just can stand up to the power of the iPhone. After seeing the advantages that the iPhone offers, hopefully you will purchase one today.
