Whether you scored an iPhone 5 on launch day or are eagerly awaiting its arrival from your local postman, you can learn about your new device with Macworldâs iPhone 5 Starter Guideâ"now available on the iBookstore [1] .
Inside this book, we cover all the basics youâll need to know about the iPhone 5, starting with details and diagrams of the changes to the phoneâs exteriorâ"after all, the iPhone 5 is the first of Appleâs iOS devices to sport a 4-inch screen, a new Lightning connector, and new Earpods headphones.
Once youâre familiar with the iPhone 5âs exterior, you can read a primer for activating your device and getting started with Appleâs mobile operating system, iOS. We provide an overview of iOS 6âs various Multi-Touch gestures, along with the basics of the system: Curious how to best use Spotlight, or how you might group apps into a folder? We explain all that and more.
And if iOS basics arenât enough to hook you, this book goes into detail about every option in the Settings app, along with information about the iPhone 5âs built-in apps and Appleâs free iCloud service. We explain how to download apps from the App Store, and provide Macworldâs list of the top ten iPhone apps every user should own.
