By Barbera Beals


All phones have their pros and cons, but when you get a look at the Apple iPhone, you know that you have found something special. And when you start using the iPhone, you won't want to use anything else. But there is so much you can do with it--where do you start? Keep reading for some tips.

Capture those fleeting on-screen moments by using the screenshot function. To take a screenshot with your iPhone, simply hold down the "Home" button while simultaneously depressing the "Sleep" button one time. You should see a flash of white on the screen, and the image should be archived in your camera roll right away.

You can figure out if a place to visit is worth it by having a look at applications like Yelp before you visit them. These type of applications have reviews from people who have actually visited these businesses, and they can inform you on whether or not you'll like it there.

If you are having issues with your IPhone, preform a "hard reset". Press the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time until you see the power off slider appear on the screen. Use it to shut down your phone completely before restarting. This method can fix many minor issues.

Assign common numbers their own vibrations and rings. If you're someone who keeps their iphone on them at work or you simply receive a lot of calls, pulling out your phone and checking to see who's calling can be a real hassle. To save time, customize ringtones for individuals. You'll know without looking whether you want to even bother answering.

You can upload plenty of music to your iphone and jam out with tunes all day long. Avoid taking both your music player and phone to the gym, and just take your iphone. You can upload hours of music on to your phone, and cycle different songs out with ease which can make it easy for you to enjoy your favorite tunes.

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.

Having trouble finding a specific app over the pages and pages of your iPhone? Try using the "Search iPhone" feature. Simply click your home button once (or twice if you are off of your first screen) to get to the search feature. Then start typing the name of the app you are looking for. This also works for finding a contact, a scheduled meeting and even specific emails.

Save the battery life on your Iphone by turning off Notifications and Location Services until you need to use them. Your Iphone will automatically reach out and update these functions regularly and use battery power in the process. Be aware of the power your Iphone is using, and you will have it when you need it.

Aren't you convinced that the iphone is the most popular smart phone for a reason? The amount of applications this phone has is never going to make a moment dull in life. There should be no hesitation in your mind whether or not you should buy an iphone, you know the answer is yes.
