If you download an application that will let you upload your files to the iPhone, you can utilize it as a device for storage. Whether you want to carry videos, music, photos or documents, you can easily put them on your phone.

When typing on your iPhone, tip it horizontally. The keyboard should be displayed horizontally and become bigger. When browsing the internet, use the Safari app: this is the only one that will rotate when you move your phone. This should help you avoid typos and type much faster than before.

Download the Safari application so that you can have maximum use of your phone. In addition to many other features it offers, Safari allows a user to call a contact without going back to the phone feature. For example, if you find a theater, you want to call online just click on the number, and it will call it for you.

If you’re an advanced message-sender who needs extended text options like letters with accent marks, the iPhone has you covered. Simply tap and hold a letter on the on-screen keyboard and a set of accented alternatives will pop up. Just remember to slide your finger directly to the accented letter you want. Lifting your fingertip will make the menu disappear.
