<v Speaker 1>Tips for the iPhone, and they're pretty good.

0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:09.639
<v Speaker 2>What's going on.

0:00:09.680 --> 0:00:12.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm Rich Damiro. This is Rich on Tech. Many of

0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:14.600
<v Speaker 1>you have picked up my book already, one hundred and

0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:16.840
<v Speaker 1>one Handy Tech Tips for the iPhone. Thanks so much

0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:18.720
<v Speaker 1>for that. I'm getting the reviews in, I'm getting the

0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:21.919
<v Speaker 1>emails in. They're all pretty positive. So I do like that,

0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:24.159
<v Speaker 1>except for the fact that many of you want a

0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:26.840
<v Speaker 1>paperback that is noted for the next version of the book.

0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:29.600
<v Speaker 1>But until then, please enjoy this interview with Bill Handle

0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:34.400
<v Speaker 1>of KFI AM six forty where we discuss my new book, Rich.

0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:40.360
<v Speaker 3>Tomorrow of KTLA and it's talking tech. Rich good morning

0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:41.440
<v Speaker 3>and thanks for joining us.

0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Hey, good morning to you. Bill.

0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:45.200
<v Speaker 3>Thanks for having me, of course as well, you should

0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:49.000
<v Speaker 3>thank me. Okay, now let's talk about your book. You

0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:51.480
<v Speaker 3>wrote a book which is kind of neat and it's

0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:57.080
<v Speaker 3>perfect for me, one hundred and one iPhone Tips. Now,

0:00:57.240 --> 0:00:59.600
<v Speaker 3>before we get into just getting some of the big ones,

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:05.200
<v Speaker 3>there are apps and what phones can do that no

0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:08.759
<v Speaker 3>one has ever heard of. They're extraordinary. I, for example,

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:13.560
<v Speaker 3>I have an iPhone and I can barely spell iPhone

0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:17.360
<v Speaker 3>and it is extraordinary. So one hundred and one phone

0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 3>iPhone Tips, and I'm willing to bat you had to

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:21.280
<v Speaker 3>winnow down to one hundred and one.

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh absolutely, So you know, the idea behind the book

0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:28.600
<v Speaker 2>was we have these phones in our pockets, we barely

0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 2>brush the surface of what they can do with them.

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:32.080
<v Speaker 2>So most people know how to send a text, they

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.280
<v Speaker 2>know how to take a picture, but that's really it.

0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:36.319
<v Speaker 2>You know, send an email. But there are so many

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 2>features built into this phone, and that's the beauty of

0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:42.600
<v Speaker 2>the book. Nothing requires an extra app, nothing requires any

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:46.319
<v Speaker 2>additional software other than what's built into the iPhone. And

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 2>again the book is one hundred and one and detech

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:51.040
<v Speaker 2>tips for the iPhone. It's all about the handy stuff

0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:53.880
<v Speaker 2>that I just think you should know about. It's not

0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:55.840
<v Speaker 2>everything you can do with the phone, but it's just okay.

0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 2>Tip number five turn your phone into a magnifying glass.

0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 2>So if you go into Settings General Accessibility, there's a

0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:06.040
<v Speaker 2>function called magnifier and then anywhere you are, all you

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 2>have to do is press the home button or the

0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:11.239
<v Speaker 2>side button on your phone three times fast, and now

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:13.480
<v Speaker 2>your iPhone turns into a magnifying glass. You can use

0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:16.799
<v Speaker 2>it for menus. I've shared that on TV. People love

0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:17.799
<v Speaker 2>that tip that's in the book.

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 3>Now does that connect with a.

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:21.959
<v Speaker 2>Light, Yes, you can have a light on there as well.

0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:24.200
<v Speaker 3>Oh, at the same time you're doing the magnifier. So

0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 3>it's for example, if you are if you have an

0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:32.080
<v Speaker 3>an issue with your site with menus and it's dark,

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.959
<v Speaker 3>you can actually light it up and magnify absolutely.

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:37.720
<v Speaker 2>And I'll have to give you another tip. Let's say

0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 2>you don't need the magnifier. You just want to use

0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:41.799
<v Speaker 2>the flashlight in the restaurant, like a lot of people do. Yes,

0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.400
<v Speaker 2>did you know that you can actually change the brightness

0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.200
<v Speaker 2>of the flashlight on the iPhone? So you can go

0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:51.560
<v Speaker 2>twenty five percent fifty seventy five one hundred just by

0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:54.640
<v Speaker 2>hard pressing on the icon instead of you know, just

0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:56.880
<v Speaker 2>tapping at once. You have to go into control center,

0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.040
<v Speaker 2>which I teach you how to do. But again, if

0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.640
<v Speaker 2>you're in a darkly restaurant, you don't need one hundred

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:03.680
<v Speaker 2>percent brightness on the flashlight. I always see the people

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:05.680
<v Speaker 2>using that. It's like, oh, come on, you're blinding us.

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 2>All I can teach you that. Let's see, did you

0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:11.320
<v Speaker 2>know that there's a hidden level built into the iPhone.

0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 2>I use this to mount the pictures in my house.

0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:18.079
<v Speaker 2>You can go around and turn your compass. So everyone's

0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:20.560
<v Speaker 2>used the compass on your iPhone, right, Well, if you

0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.919
<v Speaker 2>swipe on the compass, it actually turns into a level

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:25.880
<v Speaker 2>and you can use it to level things. That's tip

0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:26.600
<v Speaker 2>number sixteen.

0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 3>Hey, I have a I have a question regarding all

0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:36.440
<v Speaker 3>of these phones. Does any single person know everything about

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:39.400
<v Speaker 3>the phone where they know all the apps and everything

0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:39.920
<v Speaker 3>you can do?

0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:42.800
<v Speaker 2>No? No, not even me. I mean so even when

0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:44.920
<v Speaker 2>I was researching this book, you know, So what I

0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:47.320
<v Speaker 2>did was for about six months, I just any email

0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 2>question I got, I kind of like take that and

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.400
<v Speaker 2>into consideration. I went through all the apps, kind of

0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:54.560
<v Speaker 2>thinking about the things that I do on them, kind

0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:56.720
<v Speaker 2>of took a deep dive into what these apps do,

0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:58.640
<v Speaker 2>and I picked the things that are kind of a

0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:02.440
<v Speaker 2>little bit you know, necessary, but off the you know,

0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 2>off the normal track. So it's the stuff that you

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:06.880
<v Speaker 2>need to know about, but you might not necessarily think

0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 2>to do, Like how to scan a document. So a

0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:10.680
<v Speaker 2>lot of people think you need a third party app

0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:13.160
<v Speaker 2>to scan a document with your iPhone, but the feature

0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:15.440
<v Speaker 2>is actually built right in so is the ability to

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:19.000
<v Speaker 2>sign a document. Your iPhone can actually store a signature

0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:22.440
<v Speaker 2>and you can drag and drop that onto a document

0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:24.640
<v Speaker 2>and then email it out as a PDF. And that's

0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 2>all inside the notes app. And I tested that on

0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:28.640
<v Speaker 2>several people and said, hey, do you know how to

0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 2>scan a document with your iPhone? No? Not really, I'll

0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 2>just take a picture of it.

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:36.600
<v Speaker 3>So Rich, where do you find these the ability of

0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.640
<v Speaker 3>these phones? I mean, do you call up Apple? Do

0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:41.880
<v Speaker 3>they have a book the size of a phone book?

0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 3>If you know what a phone book goes out there?

0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:47.640
<v Speaker 2>So it's it's just discovering what it is exactly. It's

0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:49.640
<v Speaker 2>discovering it. And that's the thing. The iPhone does not

0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:52.240
<v Speaker 2>come with a user guide. This book is not a

0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.679
<v Speaker 2>user guide. It's more of a here are the things

0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:57.280
<v Speaker 2>that I think you should know because you just you

0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:00.880
<v Speaker 2>can browse the book. You can look through it and

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:02.400
<v Speaker 2>you learn and you say and you just keep it

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 2>in the back of your head and you say, oh, interesting,

0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:06.479
<v Speaker 2>if I need to remember where I parked, my phone

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:10.000
<v Speaker 2>can do that. Your phone can do all kinds of stuff.

0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Those Wi Fi pop ups you see on the people's

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 2>phones all the time, and looking at their screen next

0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:15.680
<v Speaker 2>thing you know says, hey, do you want to join

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.200
<v Speaker 2>this Wi fi network? Nobody ever takes the time to

0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:20.160
<v Speaker 2>turn it off. In Tip number thirty one, I tell

0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:22.480
<v Speaker 2>you how to do that. You and I we wake

0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.800
<v Speaker 2>up pretty early. Normally people are using the normal iPhone

0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:28.839
<v Speaker 2>alarm to wake up. It's blaring, it's right in your face.

0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.680
<v Speaker 2>I tell you how to set a gradual alarm using

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:34.000
<v Speaker 2>the bedtime feature. That's Tip number fifty seven.

0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:35.919
<v Speaker 3>What is that bit? We only have a second to go.

0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:39.160
<v Speaker 3>What is the weirdest of the one hundred and one tips.

0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh, my gosh, significant locations. This is a map of

0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.960
<v Speaker 2>all of the places that you go to the most.

0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:49.120
<v Speaker 2>And if you were in a relationship where someone suspected

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:52.479
<v Speaker 2>something of you, this is the first place they would check.

0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:54.440
<v Speaker 2>And I tell you how to check that. And it's

0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:56.839
<v Speaker 2>tip number thirty five. And again, it's all in the

0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:58.960
