You 18 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,480 Speaker 3: wrote a book which is kind of neat and it's 19 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 3: perfect for me, one hundred and one iPhone Tips. Now, 20 00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 3: before we get into just getting some of the big ones, 21 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 3: there are apps and what phones can do that no 22 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,759 Speaker 3: one has ever heard of. They're extraordinary. I, for example, 23 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 3: I have an iPhone and I can barely spell iPhone 24 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 3: and it is extraordinary. So one hundred and one phone 25 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 3: iPhone Tips, and I'm willing to bat you had to 26 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 3: winnow down to one hundred and one. 27 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, So you know, the idea behind the book 28 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 2: was we have these phones in our pockets, we barely 29 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 2: brush the surface of what they can do with them. 30 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 2: So most people know how to send a text, they 31 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 2: know how to take a picture, but that's really it. 32 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 2: You know, send an email. But there are so many 33 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 2: features built into this phone, and that's the beauty of 34 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 2: the book. Nothing requires an extra app, nothing requires any 35 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 2: additional software other than what's built into the iPhone. And 36 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 2: again the book is one hundred and one and detech 37 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 2: tips for the iPhone. It's all about the handy stuff 38 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 2: that I just think you should know about. It's not 39 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 2: everything you can do with the phone, but it's just okay. 40 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 2: Tip number five turn your phone into a magnifying glass. 41 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 2: So if you go into Settings General Accessibility, there's a 42 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 2: function called magnifier and then anywhere you are, all you 43 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 2: have to do is press the home button or the 44 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,239 Speaker 2: side button on your phone three times fast, and now 45 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 2: your iPhone turns into a magnifying glass. You can use 46 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 2: it for menus. I've shared that on TV. People love 47 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 2: that tip that's in the book. 48 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 3: Now does that connect with a. 49 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,959 Speaker 2: Light, Yes, you can have a light on there as well. 50 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 3: Oh, at the same time you're doing the magnifier. So 51 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 3: it's for example, if you are if you have an 52 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 3: an issue with your site with menus and it's dark, 53 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,959 Speaker 3: you can actually light it up and magnify absolutely. 54 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 2: And I'll have to give you another tip. Let's say 55 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 2: you don't need the magnifier. You just want to use 56 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 2: the flashlight in the restaurant, like a lot of people do. Yes, 57 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 2: did you know that you can actually change the brightness 58 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 2: of the flashlight on the iPhone? So you can go 59 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 2: twenty five percent fifty seventy five one hundred just by 60 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 2: hard pressing on the icon instead of you know, just 61 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 2: tapping at once. You have to go into control center, 62 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 2: which I teach you how to do. But again, if 63 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 2: you're in a darkly restaurant, you don't need one hundred 64 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 2: percent brightness on the flashlight. I always see the people 65 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 2: using that. It's like, oh, come on, you're blinding us. 66 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 2: All I can teach you that. Let's see, did you 67 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 2: know that there's a hidden level built into the iPhone. 68 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 2: I use this to mount the pictures in my house. 69 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 2: You can go around and turn your compass. So everyone's 70 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 2: used the compass on your iPhone, right, Well, if you 71 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 2: swipe on the compass, it actually turns into a level 72 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 2: and you can use it to level things. That's tip 73 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 2: number sixteen. 74 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 3: Hey, I have a I have a question regarding all 75 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 3: of these phones. Does any single person know everything about 76 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 3: the phone where they know all the apps and everything 77 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 3: you can do? 78 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 2: No? No, not even me. I mean so even when 79 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 2: I was researching this book, you know, So what I 80 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 2: did was for about six months, I just any email 81 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 2: question I got, I kind of like take that and 82 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 2: into consideration. I went through all the apps, kind of 83 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 2: thinking about the things that I do on them, kind 84 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 2: of took a deep dive into what these apps do, 85 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 2: and I picked the things that are kind of a 86 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 2: little bit you know, necessary, but off the you know, 87 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 2: off the normal track. So it's the stuff that you 88 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 2: need to know about, but you might not necessarily think 89 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 2: to do, Like how to scan a document. So a 90 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 2: lot of people think you need a third party app 91 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 2: to scan a document with your iPhone, but the feature 92 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 2: is actually built right in so is the ability to 93 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 2: sign a document. Your iPhone can actually store a signature 94 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 2: and you can drag and drop that onto a document 95 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 2: and then email it out as a PDF. And that's 96 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 2: all inside the notes app. And I tested that on 97 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 2: several people and said, hey, do you know how to 98 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 2: scan a document with your iPhone? No? Not really, I'll 99 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 2: just take a picture of it. 100 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 3: So Rich, where do you find these the ability of 101 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 3: these phones? I mean, do you call up Apple? Do 102 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 3: they have a book the size of a phone book? 103 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 3: If you know what a phone book goes out there? 104 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 2: So it's it's just discovering what it is exactly. It's 105 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 2: discovering it. And that's the thing. The iPhone does not 106 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 2: come with a user guide. This book is not a 107 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,679 Speaker 2: user guide. It's more of a here are the things 108 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 2: that I think you should know because you just you 109 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 2: can browse the book.
