By Charesse Diaz


You may have taken your time to buy an iPhone, wondering what the big deal was. When you finally get your own iPhone, you start to realize what all the talk is about.

A good tip if you have an iphone is to customize it a little bit. There are many different skins that you can purchase for your iphone that will make it stand out from everyone else's. It could be of a pattern you like or even of your favorite band.

If you frequently use your iPhone in silent mode, consider customizing the vibration alerts for various contacts. Locate General Settings, then Accessibility, then Hearing. Tap "Custom Vibrations" to activate this feature. Finally, you can choose from multiple vibration patterns or even create your own personal vibration. This allows you to identify callers without checking your screen or using a ringtone.

Having trouble finding a specific app over the pages and pages of your iPhone? Try using the "Search iPhone" feature. Simply click your home button once (or twice if you are off of your first screen) to get to the search feature. Then start typing the name of the app you are looking for. This also works for finding a contact, a scheduled meeting and even specific emails.

One of the things that you can do when you are typing a message on your iPhone is to double tap the space bar, which will automatically add in a period for you. This is much more functional and practical than going to three different screens to find the period on your phone.

If you are trying to save your iPhone's battery, turn location services and notifications off in your settings area. These services keep constant tabs on you and your location, so they are constantly creating battery-burning processes. Turning them off can add up to 10% - 20% back to your battery life depending on the amount of services you had on in the first place.

The iPhone uses diction. This helps because you don't have to type. You can enable this by tapping the microphone button on your phone and talking into it. When you are done, hit the stop button and it automatically types what you say. You can also use this feature to update your status on social-networking sites.

Take photos with your iPhone headphone cord. The volume buttons, both up and down can now be used on many iPhones to snap photos. This way you can steady your hand and press the cord button to snap the photo. Doing it this way means you do not shake the camera and frame for a crisper picture.

Take videos right on your phone and remember all the events that happened clearly. Videos are always fun to look back at, and now with your phone you have the ability to take videos whenever you want. The videos are top quality picture and lets you get the most out of your memories.

Otter boxes or other heavy-duty cases are highly recommended for your iphone, especially if you have children. These cases are shockproof in case that you drop it, or it gets tossed around. It can also protect the screen if you use a screen protector, from scratches, dirt and dust doing damage to it.

It should be a bit easier for you to use your new iphone device now. Just keep in mind that it does take a little time to get used to the feel of the phone. But in time you can master the different applications, and ways to use the phone. Then you can just worry about enjoying yourself with this highly advance piece of technology.
