subject: A Few Apple Iphone Tips You Can Use [print this page] Before July 2007, there were many smart phones on the market but many people were too intimidated by them to even consider getting one. When the iPhone from the Apple Company was launched in July 2007, everything changed because not only did the iPhone provide more powerful technology, it was all packaged in an amazingly easy-to-use phone. Now the many avid fans are always eager to pick up any and all Apple iPhone tips they can.
In Apple iPhone news, one of the first general iPhone tips that many people are surprised to learn is how easy it is to rearrange the application icons on your iPhone. There are four default icons at the bottom of the phone when it comes out of the box, and those are shown all the time that you are browsing the iPhone apps, even when you flip to a second or third screen of applications.
One of the best Apple iPhone tips you should know is how to rearrange the apps. This can be done by touching and holding any of the iPhone icons until all the icons start to shake. At that point you can touch an icon and drag it to the place you want it. You can drag it to a new page by dragging over to the left or right edge of the screen and dropping it on the new screen. When you are happy with how your apps are arranged, click the home button and the applications will be set in their new locations.
If the application does not have the X in the circle, then it is a default iPhone application and cannot be deleted. But what if you don't want those default applications that you rarely, if ever use cluttering up your iPhone screen? You can group the applications you don't use much by simply dragging them to the next page or to the last page so they are out of the way. In this way you are able to prioritize the applications you want to see first.
You have even more control over arranging your applications from within the iTunes software program. iTunes is the free application that allows you to not only manage your music collection, but lets you manage and sync your iPhone software as well. When you are in iTunes, you can also drag icons down onto a "new" page that will be created. You will see a series of dots just above the permanent app icons that those dots indicate how many application screens you have.
Another of the best Apple iPhone tips that many people are not aware of is that you can take a screenshot that will capture whatever is on your phone's screen. All you need to do is press the home button and the power button at the same time. You should hear a click, like a camera shutter, if your sound is turned up. You will find your screenshot in the Photos iPhone app filed in the "Camera Roll" where your photo albums are listed.
