Apple’s iPhone is designed to be easy to use, but you can still spend hours exploring the preinstalled apps, discovering how to change settings, and figuring out how to sync the device to your computer or through iCloud. (If you don’t know what iCloud is, no worries; we dive into it in Chapter 4.) I’ve invested those hours so that you don’t have to — and I’ve added battle-tested advice and tips so that you can become an expert with your iPhone, regardless of which model you own.

This book will get you up and running with your iPhone quickly and painlessly so that you can confidently move on to the fun part. Apple does a legendary job of making their devices and software intuitive, but having a book like this is akin to having a good friend by your side who’s tech-savvy and ready to lend a helping hand when you need it.

This book is written for mature people like you — folks who may be relatively new to using a smartphone and who want to discover the basics of buying an iPhone, making and receiving phone and video calls, working with apps, getting on the internet, enjoying music and photos, and discovering all the other tricks the iPhone can do. In writing this book, I’ve tried to consider the types of activities that might interest someone who is 50 years old or older and picking up an iPhone for the first time. As a quinquagenarian myself, I want to make certain that you get the most bang for your buck with this tome.

This book is organized by sets of tasks. These tasks start at the beginning, assuming that you’ve never laid your hands on an iPhone, and guide you through basic steps using nontechnical language.

iPhone For Seniors For Dummies covers going online using either a Wi-Fi or cellular connection, browsing the web ( Chapter 12), and checking email ( Chapter 13). I also assume that you’ll want to use the Apple Books e-reader app, so I cover its features in Chapter 17. I tackle all kinds of neat things you can do with your iPhone, such as monitoring the use of your iPhone and its apps ( Chapter 5), discovering new apps ( Chapter 14), taking and sharing photos and videos ( Chapters 19and 20, respectively), and tracking your health ( Chapter 24)!

Icons are tiny pictures in the margin that call your attention to special advice or information.

This brief piece of advice helps you take a skill further or provides an alternate way to do something.

Heads up! This is something that might wreak havoc on your iPhone or that could be difficult or expensive to undo.
