How to Make the Most of Your New iPhone: 23 Expert Tips
Introduction
Hi, I’m June Wan, a tech journalist and an avid iPhone user. I’ve been covering Apple products for over a decade, and I’ve tested every iPhone model since the original one. I love discovering new ways to make the most of my iPhone, and I’m here to share some of my best tips with you.
Whether you’ve just got a new iPhone 15, or you’re still rocking an older model, there are plenty of features and settings that you can tweak to improve your experience. From customizing your home screen to managing your battery life, from taking stunning photos to securing your privacy, I’ll show you how to use your iPhone like a pro.
In this article, you’ll learn 23 expert tips that will help you get the most out of your new iPhone. These tips are based on the latest iOS 16 software, but most of them will also work on older versions. Ready to level up your iPhone skills? Let’s dive in!
Tip 1: Switch to USB-C for faster charging and data transfer
One of the biggest changes in the new iPhone 15 models is the switch from Lightning to USB-C. This means you can use the same cable and charger that you use for your iPad, MacBook, or other USB-C devices. USB-C offers faster charging and data transfer speeds than Lightning, and it’s also more widely compatible with other accessories and gadgets.
If you have an older iPhone model that still uses Lightning, you can still benefit from USB-C by getting a Lightning to USB-C cable and a USB-C power adapter. This will allow you to charge your iPhone faster than using the standard 5W charger that comes in the box. You can also use a USB-C to Lightning cable to connect your iPhone to your MacBook or iPad and transfer files or sync data.
Tip 2: Add widgets to your home screen for quick access to information and actions
Widgets are small boxes that display information or let you perform actions from your home screen. You can add widgets for various apps, such as weather, calendar, music, photos, and more. Widgets can help you stay updated, access your favorite content, and launch common tasks with a tap.
To add widgets to your home screen, press and hold anywhere until the app icons start wiggling, then tap the + button on the top left. Tap an app and select a widget size and it’ll appear right on your home screen. You can drag and drop the widget to rearrange it, or tap and hold it to edit it. You can also swipe left on your home screen to access the Today View, where you can add more widgets.
Tip 3: Use the Action Button to quickly access your most-used apps and settings
The new iPhone 15 models have a new feature called the Action Button, which is a small circle that floats on the top-right corner of your screen. You can tap the Action Button to access a customizable menu of your most-used apps and settings. You can also swipe the Action Button to perform actions such as going back, switching apps, or taking a screenshot.
To customize the Action Button, go to Settings > Accessibility > Action Button. You can choose which apps and settings you want to include in the menu, as well as the actions you want to assign to the swipes. You can also turn off the Action Button if you don’t want to use it.
Tip 4: Enable Dynamic Island to hide the notch and get more screen space
The notch is the black area at the top of your iPhone screen that houses the front-facing camera and other sensors. Some people don’t mind the notch, but others find it annoying or distracting. If you’re one of them, you can enable a new feature called Dynamic Island, which hides the notch and gives you more screen space.
Dynamic Island is a small graphic that appears at the top of your screen and changes depending on what you’re doing. For example, when you’re on the home screen, it shows the time and battery level. When you’re in an app, it shows the app icon and name. When you’re watching a video or playing a game, it disappears completely.
To enable Dynamic Island, go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Dynamic Island. You can choose between three modes: Always On, Adaptive, or Off. Always On mode keeps the Dynamic Island on at all times, Adaptive mode turns it on or off depending on the app, and Off mode turns it off completely.
Tip 5: Take advantage of the new 5x zoom camera and ProRes video recording
The new iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models have a new 5x optical zoom camera, which lets you get closer to your subject without losing quality. You can also use digital zoom up to 15x, but the quality will degrade as you zoom in more. The 5x zoom camera is great for capturing distant objects, such as wildlife, landmarks, or sports.
Another new feature for the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models is the ProRes video recording, which lets you record high-quality videos with more detail and dynamic range. ProRes is a professional video format that is widely used in the film and TV industry, and it gives you more flexibility and control when editing your videos. However, ProRes videos also take up a lot of storage space, so you’ll need to have enough space on your iPhone or iCloud.
To use the 5x zoom camera, open the Camera app and tap the 1x button on the bottom-right corner. Swipe left or right to adjust the zoom level, or tap the 5x button to jump to the maximum zoom. To use the ProRes video recording, go to Settings > Camera > Formats and turn on Apple ProRes. Then, open the Camera app and swipe to the Video mode. Tap the HD button on the top-right corner and choose 4K ProRes. You can also adjust the frame rate by tapping the 30 or 60 button.
Tip 6: Use Face ID with a mask or glasses
Face ID is a feature that lets you unlock your iPhone with your face. It’s fast, secure, and convenient, but it can also be tricky to use if you’re wearing a mask or glasses. Fortunately, there are some ways to make Face ID work better with these accessories.
If you’re wearing a mask, you can use a new feature called Unlock with Apple Watch, which lets you unlock your iPhone with your Apple Watch instead of your face. To enable this feature, go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode and turn on Unlock with Apple Watch. You’ll need to have an Apple Watch that is paired with your iPhone, and both devices need to have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on. You’ll also need to have a passcode on your Apple Watch.
If you’re wearing glasses, you can try to improve Face ID’s accuracy by re-scanning your face. To do this, go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode and tap Reset Face ID. Then, tap Set Up Face ID and follow the instructions. Make sure to scan your face in a well-lit area, and hold your iPhone about 10-20 inches away from your face. You can also scan your face with and without glasses, to make Face ID more adaptable.
Tip 7: Use Siri to automate tasks and control your smart home
Siri is a voice assistant that can help you with various tasks and questions. You can use Siri to make calls, send messages, set reminders, play music, get directions, check the weather, and more. You can also use Siri to automate tasks and control your smart home devices, such as lights, thermostats, cameras, and locks.
To use Siri, you can either say “Hey Siri” or press and hold the side button on your iPhone. Then, say what you want Siri to do, such as “Call Mom”, “Remind me to buy milk”, or “Play some jazz”. You can also ask Siri questions, such as “What’s the capital of France?”, “How many calories are in a banana?”, or “Who won the Oscars?”.
To use Siri to automate tasks, you can use a feature called Shortcuts, which lets you create custom commands that trigger a series of actions. For example, you can create a shortcut that says “Good morning”, and have Siri turn on your lights, read your calendar, and play your favorite playlist. To create shortcuts, go to Settings > Shortcuts and tap Add Shortcut. You can also download ready-made shortcuts from the Gallery, or from third-party apps that support shortcuts.
To use Siri to control your smart home devices, you’ll need to have devices that are compatible with HomeKit, Apple’s smart home platform. You’ll also need to set up your devices in the Home app, which lets you organize and manage your smart home. To use Siri to control your devices, you can say commands like “Turn on the living room lights”, “Set the thermostat to 72 degrees”, or “Show me the front door camera”.
Tip 8: Use Dark Mode to save battery and reduce eye strain
Dark Mode is a feature that changes the appearance of your iPhone’s interface, making it darker and easier on the eyes. Dark Mode can also help you save battery life, especially if you have an iPhone with an OLED display, such as the iPhone 15, 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max, 14, 14 Pro, 14 Pro Max, 13
Tip 9: Use App Library to organize and access your apps
App Library is a feature that automatically organizes your apps into categories, such as Social, Productivity, Entertainment, and more. You can access the App Library by swiping left on your home screen until you reach the end. You can also search for apps by name or use the alphabetical list on the right.
App Library can help you keep your home screen clutter-free and find your apps faster. You can also hide the apps that you don’t use often from your home screen and access them only from the App Library. To do this, press and hold anywhere on your home screen until the app icons start wiggling, then tap the – button on the top-left corner of an app. Tap Remove App and choose Move to App Library.
