Introduction
How do you make the point that the iPhone has changed the world? The easy answer is use statistics2.5 billion sold, 2.2 million apps on the App Store, 200 billion downloads. Trouble is, those statistics get stale almost before youve finished typing them.
Maybe its better to talk about the aftermath. How the invention of the iPhone changed society, business, and culture forever. With the iPhone (and Googles imitator, Android), we became, for the first time, a society of people who are online continuously. Our communications blossomed from text messages to video calls, WhatsApp, FaceTime, and Skype. Billion-dollar businesses like Uber, Snapchat, and Instagram sprang into existence. Distracted driving, distracted walking, distracted eating, distracted dating, and even distracted sex all became things.
Apple introduces new iPhone models every fall. In September 2019, it introduced the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th models, the iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max.
Theres also a new, free version of the iPhones software, called iOS 13.
You can run iOS 13 on older iPhone models without having to buy a new phone. This book covers all the phones that can run iOS 13, from the iPhone SE through the iPhone 11 family.
About the iPhone
What is the iPhone? The better question is what isnt the iPhone?
Its a cellphone, obviously. But its also a full-blown multimedia player, complete with a dazzling screen for watching videos. And its a sensational pocket internet viewer. It shows fully formatted email (with attachments, thank you) and displays entire web pages with fonts and design intact. Its tricked out with a tilt sensor, a proximity sensor, a light sensor, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, a gyroscope, a barometer, and that amazing multitouch screen.
The iPhone is also the most used camera in the world. Furthermore, its a calendar, address book, calculator, alarm clock, ebook reader, stopwatch, podcast player, stock tracker, video viewer, traffic reporter, and weather forecaster. It even stands in for a flashlight, a tape measure, andwith the screen offa pocket mirror.
