HOW TO USE AN iPHONE

For people who have never used an Apple product, let alone a smartphone, using an iPhone can be an incredibly difficult and frustrating task. The iPhone is nothing like other phones, and is nothing like a Windows computer either. Simple tasks such as sending text messages and importing contacts can be difficult to a new iPhone user. 

Setting Up New iPhone:

The first thing you will do when you get your new iOS device is, of course, turn it on.

Step 1: You will be greeted with a screen that says, “Hello,” and a message at the bottom asking you to “Press home to open.”

Step 2:  Select your language, and then your country or region.

Step 3: At this point, you’ll need to activate your device. You can select a Wi-Fi network and log in as you normally would, or you can tap Use Cellular Connection to utilize your data.

Step 4: You will then be asked to enable or disable Location Services. You can disable this later if you wish. If you enable it now, however, then your device will be able to automatically set the correct time.

Step 5: If you purchased an iPhone 5s or later- or an iPad Pro, iPad Air 2, or iPad mini 3 or later- then your device comes equipped  with Touch ID. You will be asked to set this at this point, which can be done by following the on- screen instructions. You will be able to set up more fingerprints later. Once done, you will be asked to set up  a six digit passcode. We recommend that you do so. You can tap Set Up Touch ID Later or Passcode Options, but, either way,  you will eventually need to set up a passcode.  Take a minute to get this out of way.

Step 6:  If your reading this guide, then you probably don't have anything to restore from a backup. If you do however, then you can select it here. If not tap Set UP as New iPhone or iPad.

Step 7: If you already have an Apple ID, login and tap Next in the top right corner. If not, select Don't have an Apple ID.

Step 8: You can set up Siri on the phone screen. If you want to set up now, tap Set Up Siri and follow on screen instructions.

Step 9: If you an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, you will see a screen  titled,:" Choose Your Click." Press 1, 2, or 3 to adjust the feel of taptic engine, which activates when you press the home button. Whereas the first option will feel like a gentle tap on your hand, a second and the third will feel a bit firmmer. Select your desired feedback and press the home button to test the feature, and once chosen, tap Next in the top right corner to continue.

Step 10: The last screen will ask you for the desired view. You can either select standard or zoomed, the latter of which uses larger texts and controls. Once, chosen tap Next in the top right corner.
