1 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: One and one Handy Tech Tips for the iPhone. What's 2 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,400 Speaker 1: going on? I'm Rich Demiro. This is Rich on Tech Daily. Well, 3 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: it is finally here. The project I've been working on 4 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,959 Speaker 1: for the past six months and I've been planning for 5 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 1: nearly a year. If you follow me on Instagram Stories, 6 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 1: maybe you've seen a little glimpse of this. But it's 7 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: my new book, which is called one hundred and one 8 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: Handy Tech Tips for the iPhone. Now, originally I was 9 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: gonna write one hundred and one Handy Tech Tips. Then 10 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 1: I realized why not start with the device that I 11 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: get the most questions about, and that is the iPhone. 12 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 1: The book is on sale now and you can of 13 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 1: course read it on the kindle and buy it from Amazon, 14 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: but you can also buy it direct from me, and 15 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: that will give you all the files you need to 16 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: read it in pretty much any eReader or app of 17 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: your choice. It looks beautiful in iBooks, or you can 18 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: print out the PDF and read it that way, or 19 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: you can just read the PDF on your computer screen 20 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: or pretty much put it in any eReader app that's compared. 21 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: My goal was to pretty much make it readable on 22 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: any device. I think I accomplished that. All right, So 23 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 1: what's the book all about. Well, it's about all the 24 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,119 Speaker 1: things I think that the average iPhone users should know about. 25 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 1: I take nothing for granted, and the best part is 26 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: all of the tips involve functionality built into the iPhone itself. 27 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: There is no need to download any third party software 28 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 1: for these tips. I knew a lot about the iPhone 29 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: before I started researching and planning this book, but now 30 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: I respect Apple even more for building pretty much a 31 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: one stop shop for just about everything you need to 32 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: do on a mobile device. You could probably be very 33 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: happy with the iPhone even if you never downloaded another 34 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: app ever again, but I know you're not going to 35 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: do that, because we all love our apps. But one 36 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: of the fun things about writing this book, which by 37 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 1: the way, took every minute I had outside of my 38 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: daily work day for several solid months, is that when 39 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: people would ask me a question about the phone, I 40 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: joke it's all in the book. Then I would send 41 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: them literally the passage for my book explaining the question 42 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: they just asked me, and most of the time it worked. 43 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: So there are the basics, like how to take a screenshot. 44 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: You'd be surprised how many people don't know how to 45 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: do that. I also explain too factor authentication so you 46 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: can secure your account better. How to change the brightness 47 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: of the flashlight on the iPhone. Did you know you 48 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: could do that? How to change your air drop preferences fast, 49 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: How to scan a QR code instantly, how to rearrange 50 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: car play icons, how to find the hidden search functions 51 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: in settings and messages. Then there are some of my 52 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,399 Speaker 1: new favorites, like how to announce who's calling I've left 53 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: that one set up? And how to set up personalized 54 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: ring tones and text tones for specific contacts so when 55 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 1: my wife texts me, I can tell that it's her 56 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 1: texting because it sounds different than everyone else. I also 57 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: explain all the various ways you can reset your phone. 58 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: I talk about hidden camera features, how to scan documents 59 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: and even sign them. How to download the stuff that 60 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: you bought, like apps and movies to your other devices 61 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: you don't have to pay again. How to manage your 62 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: subscriptions and of course cancel those.

I 67 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: also explain how to make sure your phone is properly 68 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: set up in case you misplace it or it's stolen, which, 69 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: by the way, I needed the other day when I 70 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: lost my phone. Thankfully, it was just misplaced. It was 71 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: hidden on a seat under the kitchen table. My wife 72 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: had placed it there when she wiped down the table. 73 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: But man, it took us a while to find that thing. 74 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: There are one hundred and one tips in all, and 75 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: everything I explain is in conversational tone and of course 76 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: easy to understand language. Now I know, since you're listening 77 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: to a podcast you already step ahead, but maybe you 78 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: know someone else who could use the help.
