Summary

The iPhone is a unique device in many ways. The most significant example of this is its Multi-touch interface that enables you to easily control the device and type with your fingers. It also includes sensors that automatically re-orient the screen display to match the orientation of the iPhone, such as switching to landscape view when you rotate the phone 90 degrees when watching video. My iPhone, 5/E, provides simple yet complete information on getting the most from this device. Although compact in size, it provides ou with the information you need to make the iPhone an important part of your life quickly and easily. The book uses a "learn by doing" approach and includes only the background and technical detail needed to make the iPhone do what you want it to. Lots of full color step-by-step instructions guide you from iPhone novice to iPhone master.
