Getting Started with the iPhone for “Dumbphone” Refugees: With information on iPhone features, functions, applications, ring tones and more. (Tech 101 Kindle Book Series)

In the introduction of "Getting Started with the iPhone for 'Dumbphone' Refugees," author Jason Cipriani avoids the "it's simple" and "it's easy" assertions that might make you feel as though you shouldn't need the instruction the book offers. "Any anxiety and intimidation you might feel are justified," he writes. "The iPhone works beautifully, but it doesn’t give up its secrets easily." Before exposing those secrets, Cipriani acquaints readers with the iPhone's basic characteristics: phone, contacts, messages, calendar and camera. He then walks systematically through those features and functions, describing available applications and how and where to find them. He examines Safari, the iPhone's default Web browser; explores the capabilities of the personal assistant "Siri"; and explains how to manage iCloud storage. The final chapter consists of helpful recommendations for customizing settings, with a focus on the home screen, notifications, security, setting a passcode lock, privacy, ring and alert tones and wallpaper.
