WEBVTT - New Book: 101 Handy Tech Tips for the iPhone

0:00:04.440 --> 0:00:07.680
<v Speaker 1>One and one Handy Tech Tips for the iPhone. What's

0:00:07.720 --> 0:00:11.400
<v Speaker 1>going on? I'm Rich Demiro. This is Rich on Tech Daily. Well,

0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:14.280
<v Speaker 1>it is finally here. The project I've been working on

0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:16.959
<v Speaker 1>for the past six months and I've been planning for

0:00:17.040 --> 0:00:20.160
<v Speaker 1>nearly a year. If you follow me on Instagram Stories,

0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:22.960
<v Speaker 1>maybe you've seen a little glimpse of this. But it's

0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:25.360
<v Speaker 1>my new book, which is called one hundred and one

0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:28.400
<v Speaker 1>Handy Tech Tips for the iPhone. Now, originally I was

0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:31.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna write one hundred and one Handy Tech Tips. Then

0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:33.479
<v Speaker 1>I realized why not start with the device that I

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:36.960
<v Speaker 1>get the most questions about, and that is the iPhone.

0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:38.519
<v Speaker 1>The book is on sale now and you can of

0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:40.879
<v Speaker 1>course read it on the kindle and buy it from Amazon,

0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:43.120
<v Speaker 1>but you can also buy it direct from me, and

0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:45.720
<v Speaker 1>that will give you all the files you need to

0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:48.440
<v Speaker 1>read it in pretty much any eReader or app of

0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:51.760
<v Speaker 1>your choice. It looks beautiful in iBooks, or you can

0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:54.120
<v Speaker 1>print out the PDF and read it that way, or

0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:56.440
<v Speaker 1>you can just read the PDF on your computer screen

0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 1>or pretty much put it in any eReader app that's compared.

0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:02.360
<v Speaker 1>My goal was to pretty much make it readable on

0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:05.120
<v Speaker 1>any device. I think I accomplished that. All right, So

0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:07.319
<v Speaker 1>what's the book all about. Well, it's about all the

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:10.119
<v Speaker 1>things I think that the average iPhone users should know about.

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:12.400
<v Speaker 1>I take nothing for granted, and the best part is

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:15.920
<v Speaker 1>all of the tips involve functionality built into the iPhone itself.

0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:19.200
<v Speaker 1>There is no need to download any third party software

0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:21.400
<v Speaker 1>for these tips. I knew a lot about the iPhone

0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:23.840
<v Speaker 1>before I started researching and planning this book, but now

0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:27.039
<v Speaker 1>I respect Apple even more for building pretty much a

0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:29.480
<v Speaker 1>one stop shop for just about everything you need to

0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:31.880
<v Speaker 1>do on a mobile device. You could probably be very

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 1>happy with the iPhone even if you never downloaded another

0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:36.480
<v Speaker 1>app ever again, but I know you're not going to

0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:38.200
<v Speaker 1>do that, because we all love our apps. But one

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:39.880
<v Speaker 1>of the fun things about writing this book, which by

0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:42.040
<v Speaker 1>the way, took every minute I had outside of my

0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:45.160
<v Speaker 1>daily work day for several solid months, is that when

0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:46.920
<v Speaker 1>people would ask me a question about the phone, I

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:48.960
<v Speaker 1>joke it's all in the book. Then I would send

0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 1>them literally the passage for my book explaining the question

0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:54.280
<v Speaker 1>they just asked me, and most of the time it worked.

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:56.800
<v Speaker 1>So there are the basics, like how to take a screenshot.

0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 1>You'd be surprised how many people don't know how to

0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:01.360
<v Speaker 1>do that. I also explain too factor authentication so you

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:04.280
<v Speaker 1>can secure your account better. How to change the brightness

0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 1>of the flashlight on the iPhone. Did you know you

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:09.120
<v Speaker 1>could do that? How to change your air drop preferences fast,

0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 1>How to scan a QR code instantly, how to rearrange

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:15.240
<v Speaker 1>car play icons, how to find the hidden search functions

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:17.880
<v Speaker 1>in settings and messages. Then there are some of my

0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:20.399
<v Speaker 1>new favorites, like how to announce who's calling I've left

0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:22.800
<v Speaker 1>that one set up? And how to set up personalized

0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:26.240
<v Speaker 1>ring tones and text tones for specific contacts so when

0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:28.359
<v Speaker 1>my wife texts me, I can tell that it's her

0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:31.519
<v Speaker 1>texting because it sounds different than everyone else. I also

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 1>explain all the various ways you can reset your phone.

0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:37.360
<v Speaker 1>I talk about hidden camera features, how to scan documents

0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:39.800
<v Speaker 1>and even sign them. How to download the stuff that

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 1>you bought, like apps and movies to your other devices

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.280
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to pay again. How to manage your

0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:47.000
<v Speaker 1>subscriptions and of course cancel those. How to create a

0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:50.800
<v Speaker 1>medical ID for emergencies, store your loyalty cards, delete those

0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:55.239
<v Speaker 1>lingering boarding passes, and also find the hidden iPhone redial key.

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.119
<v Speaker 1>Then there's cleaning up your iCloud mess like deleting old

0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 1>iCloud backups and optimizing the storage on your phone. I

0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:03.360
<v Speaker 1>also explain how to make sure your phone is properly

0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.480
<v Speaker 1>set up in case you misplace it or it's stolen, which,

0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:08.200
<v Speaker 1>by the way, I needed the other day when I

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:11.000
<v Speaker 1>lost my phone. Thankfully, it was just misplaced. It was

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.680
<v Speaker 1>hidden on a seat under the kitchen table. My wife

0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 1>had placed it there when she wiped down the table.

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:17.240
<v Speaker 1>But man, it took us a while to find that thing.

0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.680
<v Speaker 1>There are one hundred and one tips in all, and

0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.920
<v Speaker 1>everything I explain is in conversational tone and of course

0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 1>easy to understand language. Now I know, since you're listening

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.440
<v Speaker 1>to a podcast you already step ahead, but maybe you

0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:30.720
<v Speaker 1>know someone else who could use the help. I'm very

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 1>proud of this book, and before you wonder if it's

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:35.000

<v Speaker 1>that operating system in mind, and I give you a

0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 1>heads up in the book when a feature might change

0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:45.400
<v Speaker 1>slightly or get more functionality. But bottom line, I believe

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.680

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.400
