Precious few products ever come close to generating the kind of buzz seen with the introduction of new iPhones. Their arrival receives front-page treatment in newspapers, and top billing on network and cable TV shows year after year. Even now, people still line up days in advance just to ensure landing one of the first units (though they may have to follow social distancing and mask guidelines this year).

But we trust you didnt pick up this book to read yet another account about how this years iPhone launch was an epochal event. We trust you did buy the book to find out how to get the very most out of your remarkable device. Our goal is to deliver that information in an informed but light and breezy fashion. We expect you to have fun using your iPhone, and we hope you have fun spending time with us.

Lets get one thing out of the way right from the get-go. We think youre pretty darn smart for buying a For Dummies book. That says to us that you have the confidence and intelligence to know what you dont know. The For Dummies franchise is built around the core notion that all of us feel insecure about certain topics when tackling them for the first time, especially when those topics have to do with technology.

As with most Apple products, every iPhone to date is beautifully designed and intuitive to use. And though our editors may not want us to reveal this dirty little secret (especially on the first page), the truth is youll get pretty far just by exploring the iPhone on your own, without the help of this (or any other) book.

Okay, now that we spilled the beans, well tell you why you shouldnt run back to the bookstore and request a refund: This book is chock-full of useful tips, advice, and other nuggets that will make your iPhone experience all the more pleasurable. So keep this book nearby and consult it often.

But before you do that, let us tell you a bit about how we go about our business. iPhone For Dummies makes generous use of numbered steps, bullet lists, and pictures. Web addresses look like this: www.boblevitus.com . For those reading the e-book version, links are live so you can click them.

We also include sidebars with information that is not required reading, but that we hope will provide a richer understanding of certain subjects. Overall, we aim to keep technical jargon to a minimum, under the guiding principle that with rare exceptions you need not know what any of it means.

Although we know what happens when you make assumptions, weve made a few anyway. First, we assume that you, gentle reader, know nothing about using an iPhone or iOS beyond knowing what an iPhone is, that you want to use iOS, that you want to understand your iPhone and its operating system without digesting an incomprehensible technical manual, and that you made the right choice by selecting this particular book.

And so, we do our best to explain each new concept in full and loving detail. Perhaps thats foolish, but oh, well.

One last thing: We also assume that you can read. If you cant, please ignore this paragraph.
