In iOS 7, Apple gave the iPhone the most radical makeover in its history. The new software is powerful, sleek, and a perfect companion to the iPhone 5s and 5c—but it’s wildly different. Fortunately, David Pogue is back with an expanded edition of his witty, full-color guide: the world’s most popular iPhone book.
The important stuff you need to know:
- The iPhone 5s. This book unearths all the secrets of the newest iPhone—faster chip, dual-color flash, fingerprint scanner, and more—and its colorful companion, the 5c.
- The iOS 7 software. Older iPhones gain Control Center, AirDrop, iTunes Radio, free Internet phone calls, and about 197 more new features. This book covers it all.
- The apps. That catalog of 1,000,000 add-on programs makes the iPhone’s phone features almost secondary. Now you’ll know how to find, manage, and exploit those apps.
The iPhone may be the world’s coolest computer, but it’s still a computer, with all of a computer’s complexities. iPhone: The Missing Manual is a funny, gorgeously illustrated guide to the tips, shortcuts, and workarounds that will turn you, too, into an iPhone addict.

The author makes the statement that calling the IPhone “a phone is practically an insult” and I couldn’t agree more. So, given the chance to read this book and find out even more ways my IPhone can make life easier, I jumped at it. I was worried that the book’s nearly 600 pages might be a bit daunting. However, I started on page 1 to sort of see how it would go, and before I knew it, I found myself on page 80. I had my IPhone at my side and would read a feature and check it out. What fun! For example, I found a level on the phone. Now, if I see a picture that looks a little crooked I can whip out my IPhone and fix it.
When you buy an IPhone, Apple doesn’t give you a hefty manual. When I bought the gadget, I had to hunt and peck my way to learn how to use it. This book showed me EVERYTHING about the phone – step by step in a cookbook fashion. The book is very current to IOS 7. So, all the new features of the latest operating system are at your fingertips. The book It also is laid out very nicely, making it and easy to follow. The first 30 pages or so just tell you what you are physically holding in your hand. Okay, maybe in too much detail sometimes – like how they make the “gorilla glass” at Corning Glass Works (entertaining for trivia types). The index is generous with lots of references.
The book is extremely easy to read - I didn’t feel some techie was talking down to me at all. The book covered everything about the phone and then some. I have had my IPhone for over a year I found lots of features in the book I never even imagined were on the phone. I feel I am living in a sci-fi fantasy world sometimes when I use it. One of these days maybe Apple will figure out how to beam me up with an IPhone.
