Speaker 1: Reviews are in for one hundred and one Handy Tech
Speaker 1: Tips for the iPhone, and they're pretty good.
Speaker 2: What's going on.
Speaker 1: I'm Rich Damiro. This is Rich on Tech. Many of
Speaker 1: you have picked up my book already, one hundred and
Speaker 1: one Handy Tech Tips for the iPhone. Thanks so much
Speaker 1: for that. I'm getting the reviews in, I'm getting the
Speaker 1: emails in. They're all pretty positive. So I do like that,
Speaker 1: except for the fact that many of you want a
Speaker 1: paperback that is noted for the next version of the book.
Speaker 1: But until then, please enjoy this interview with Bill Handle
Speaker 1: of KFI AM six forty where we discuss my new book, Rich.
Speaker 3: Tomorrow of KTLA and it's talking tech. Rich good morning
Speaker 3: and thanks for joining us.
Speaker 2: Hey, good morning to you. Bill.
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me, of course as well, you should
Speaker 3: thank me. Okay, now let's talk about your book. You
Speaker 3: wrote a book which is kind of neat and it's
Speaker 3: perfect for me, one hundred and one iPhone Tips. Now,
Speaker 3: before we get into just getting some of the big ones,
Speaker 3: there are apps and what phones can do that no
Speaker 3: one has ever heard of. They're extraordinary. I, for example,
Speaker 3: I have an iPhone and I can barely spell iPhone
Speaker 3: and it is extraordinary. So one hundred and one phone
Speaker 3: iPhone Tips, and I'm willing to bat you had to
Speaker 3: winnow down to one hundred and one.
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, So you know, the idea behind the book
Speaker 2: was we have these phones in our pockets, we barely
Speaker 2: brush the surface of what they can do with them.
Speaker 2: So most people know how to send a text, they
Speaker 2: know how to take a picture, but that's really it.
Speaker 2: You know, send an email. But there are so many
Speaker 2: features built into this phone, and that's the beauty of
Speaker 2: the book. Nothing requires an extra app, nothing requires any
Speaker 2: additional software other than what's built into the iPhone. And
Speaker 2: again the book is one hundred and one and detech
Speaker 2: tips for the iPhone. It's all about the handy stuff
Speaker 2: that I just think you should know about. It's not
Speaker 2: everything you can do with the phone, but it's just okay.
Speaker 2: Tip number five turn your phone into a magnifying glass.
Speaker 2: So if you go into Settings General Accessibility, there's a
Speaker 2: function called magnifier and then anywhere you are, all you
Speaker 2: have to do is press the home button or the
Speaker 2: side button on your phone three times fast, and now
Speaker 2: your iPhone turns into a magnifying glass. You can use
Speaker 2: it for menus. I've shared that on TV. People love
Speaker 2: that tip that's in the book.
Speaker 3: Now does that connect with a.
Speaker 2: Light, Yes, you can have a light on there as well.
Speaker 3: Oh, at the same time you're doing the magnifier. So
Speaker 3: it's for example, if you are if you have an
Speaker 3: an issue with your site with menus and it's dark,
Speaker 3: you can actually light it up and magnify absolutely.
Speaker 2: And I'll have to give you another tip. Let's say
Speaker 2: you don't need the magnifier. You just want to use
Speaker 2: the flashlight in the restaurant, like a lot of people do. Yes,
Speaker 2: did you know that you can actually change the brightness
Speaker 2: of the flashlight on the iPhone? So you can go
Speaker 2: twenty five percent fifty seventy five one hundred just by
Speaker 2: hard pressing on the icon instead of you know, just
Speaker 2: tapping at once. You have to go into control center,
Speaker 2: which I teach you how to do. But again, if
Speaker 2: you're in a darkly restaurant, you don't need one hundred
Speaker 2: percent brightness on the flashlight. I always see the people
Speaker 2: using that. It's like, oh, come on, you're blinding us.
Speaker 2: All I can teach you that. Let's see, did you
Speaker 2: know that there's a hidden level built into the iPhone.
Speaker 2: I use this to mount the pictures in my house.
Speaker 2: You can go around and turn your compass. So everyone's
Speaker 2: used the compass on your iPhone, right, Well, if you
Speaker 2: swipe on the compass, it actually turns into a level
Speaker 2: and you can use it to level things. That's tip
Speaker 2: number sixteen.
Speaker 3: Hey, I have a I have a question regarding all
Speaker 3: of these phones. Does any single person know everything about
Speaker 3: the phone where they know all the apps and everything
Speaker 3: you can do?
Speaker 2: No? No, not even me. I mean so even when
Speaker 2: I was researching this book, you know, So what I
Speaker 2: did was for about six months, I just any email
Speaker 2: question I got, I kind of like take that and
Speaker 2: into consideration. I went through all the apps, kind of
Speaker 2: thinking about the things that I do on them, kind
Speaker 2: of took a deep dive into what these apps do,
Speaker 2: and I picked the things that are kind of a
Speaker 2: little bit you know, necessary, but off the you know,
Speaker 2: off the normal track. So it's the stuff that you
Speaker 2: need to know about, but you might not necessarily think
Speaker 2: to do, Like how to scan a document. So a
Speaker 2: lot of people think you need a third party app
Speaker 2: to scan a document with your iPhone, but the feature
Speaker 2: is actually built right in so is the ability to
Speaker 2: sign a document. Your iPhone can actually store a signature
Speaker 2: and you can drag and drop that onto a document
Speaker 2: and then email it out as a PDF. And that's
Speaker 2: all inside the notes app. And I tested that on
Speaker 2: several people and said, hey, do you know how to
Speaker 2: scan a document with your iPhone? No? Not really, I'll
Speaker 2: just take a picture of it.
Speaker 3: So Rich, where do you find these the ability of
Speaker 3: these phones? I mean, do you call up Apple? Do
Speaker 3: they have a book the size of a phone book?
Speaker 3: If you know what a phone book goes out there?
Speaker 2: So it's it's just discovering what it is exactly. It's
Speaker 2: discovering it. And that's the thing. The iPhone does not
Speaker 2: come with a user guide. This book is not a
Speaker 2: user guide. It's more of a here are the things
Speaker 2: that I think you should know because you just you
Speaker 2: can browse the book. You can look through it and
Speaker 2: you learn and you say and you just keep it
Speaker 2: in the back of your head and you say, oh, interesting,
Speaker 2: if I need to remember where I parked, my phone
Speaker 2: can do that. Your phone can do all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 2: Those Wi Fi pop ups you see on the people's
Speaker 2: phones all the time, and looking at their screen next
Speaker 2: thing you know says, hey, do you want to join
Speaker 2: this Wi fi network? Nobody ever takes the time to
Speaker 2: turn it off. In Tip number thirty one, I tell
Speaker 2: you how to do that. You and I we wake
Speaker 2: up pretty early. Normally people are using the normal iPhone
Speaker 2: alarm to wake up. It's blaring, it's right in your face.
Speaker 2: I tell you how to set a gradual alarm using
Speaker 2: the bedtime feature. That's Tip number fifty seven.
Speaker 3: What is that bit? We only have a second to go.
Speaker 3: What is the weirdest of the one hundred and one tips.
Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh, significant locations. This is a map of
Speaker 2: all of the places that you go to the most.
Speaker 2: And if you were in a relationship where someone suspected
Speaker 2: something of you, this is the first place they would check.
Speaker 2: And I tell you how to check that. And it's
Speaker 2: tip number thirty five. And again, it's all in the
Speaker 2: book one hundred and one Handy Tech Tips for the
Speaker 2: iPhone on my website, rich on tech dot tv. You
Speaker 2: can order it on Amazon. I find I'm getting a
Speaker 2: lot of feedback from the book. People that even know
Speaker 2: the iPhone are saying, Rich, I gotta hand it to you.
Speaker 2: You taught me some stuff I did not know.
Speaker 3: All right, So, Rich, we just been an entire segment
Speaker 3: hooring your book. Yeah, and uh, you know you owe
Speaker 3: me one big time.
