Secret iPhone Tricks and Tips

So you have your brand new
shiny iPhone, and you want to turbo power your experiences with it! What can you really do?

Here are some of the best resources online:

  1. Two finger tap to zoom out in Google map. Most people know of the 1 finger tap to zoom in on the Google map. Try it with 2 fingers and it’ll reverse that process. Any two fingers would do, but I highly recommend index + middle fingers, it just works better, trust me.
  2. Jump to top of a web page in Safari browser. When you get to the bottom of a long web page in the browser, you can tap the top of the screen, right under the time and it’ll bring you back to top of the page. I’m not aware of a way to jump to bottom of the page yet. If you do, share with moi :-)
  3. Don’t need to type .com in Safari browser. When you’re typing an URL, no need to type http://www or the .com portion. Simply enter the doman (e.g. apple) and click “Go”. Of course, this only applies to .com URLs.
  4. Quick hover for numbers in keyboard. How do you type a number today? Click on “@123″ to change to number keyboard, type a number, then click on “ABC” to change back? Say you just want to enter a number in between your alphabets? Try this trick.

    Hover on “@123″ and the keyboard will switch to number keyboard, don’t let go of your finger, hover over to the number or symbol you want, then let go. It’ll insert the number or symbol and switch you back to the alphabet keyboard….MORE…

And don’t forget:

ThankYouVeryMuch!
