Apples 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 dont know what iCloud is, no worries; we dive into it in .) Ive invested those hours so that you dont have to and Ive 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 whos 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, Ive 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 youve never laid your hands on an iPhone, and guide you through basic steps using nontechnical language.
