Apple has made it super easy to get definitions for words. Whenever you see a word, you want to get a definition for, whether it's in an email, a text message, or on the internet, you can press on the word for a second or two, and a little pop-up will come up where you can select define.

Is your iPhone frozen? Hold down the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time. Wait until it gives you the option to shut it down. Swipe the screen to shut your phone down.

You can quickly erase text without even touching your iPhone screen. Using a quick flick of the wrist, shake the phone one time to your left and back. A window will pop up to request confirmation to delete the recently typed text. Click it and the most recent text will be immediately erased.

If you accidently get your iPhone wet, there is hope! First, do not push the power button; this may cause additional damage.

Choose a carrier before choosing an iphone. You might have your eye on a particular iphone. Before you rush out and get it, make sure that it is compatible with the carrier of your choosing.

On your iPhone, it is possible to look at PDF files in your iBooks. When you are on a website with a PDF, you want to view or a mail message, all you need to do is tap and then hold either the PDF link or icon. Then, simply select "open in iBooks".

The iphone comes with a built in calculator, and stopwatch. These simple applications can help you complete many tasks throughout the day.
