Become your own iPhone guru
Your first time using an iPhone comes with a lot of excitement. It can also be a bit intimidating. After all, it’s jam-packed with apps and cool features, but there’s no handy manual to help you unravel all the device’s mysteries. iPhone For Seniors For Dummies can help you take your first iPhone steps and save you the trouble of finding someone to answer your questions. It features the tasks that you most likely want to do—like chatting on FaceTime, shooting videos and photos, and connecting on social media. It also introduces you to the App store so that you can break away from the iPhone’s pre-installed apps and really personalize your shiny gadget.
The easy-to-follow steps in this book with its accompanying illustrations help you manage, personalize, and communicate using your iPhone. You discover how to do everything from shopping online and organizing appointments to taking and sharing pictures and downloading and listening to your favorite music.
