Iphone Online Courses To Get To Know Your Phone

By Evelyn Walls


The Internet has become a valuable resource for learning how to do just about anything. It is no surprise that you can use iPhone online courses to become an iPhone expert, or maybe you just want to know how to use the GPS. Apple does have some information on their website, but there are better resources. The older phone models had buttons to push and were easier to use. But they did not have one tenth the functionality of any smart phone. With so many functions it is impossible to have a button for everything. Learning how to use an iPhone, or some other smart phone, has become a fundamental part of every day life. No one should feel any shame about needing some extra help. Smart phones are not self explanatory.

There is a great website that offers free step by step instructions on nineteen different features found on every phone. It includes a quiz so you can test yourself to see how much you have retained. The good thing is that you can do this any time anywhere with your phone, iPod or iPad. The instructions are very clear and can be reviewed again and again as needed.

Go to iTunes on your phone or on your computer, and there are eleven free tutorials. These are free videos and can be very helpful for most of the basics. Some of the tutorials will lead the user to more tutorials. New users can learn a lot from these short courses.

Apple has an online store which has free online support for all of its products. You can choose the general topic of interest, then drill down to specific functions. This is a good reminder to back your data up to the iCloud. Failure to back up means all your data is lost in the event your phone is lost, damaged or stolen.

There are paid tutorials online which usually have a free trial period for ten days. Thereafter the charge is around thirty five dollars monthly. They encourage users to buy an annual subscription. Unless this is a service that you intend to use often for a long period of time, the free ten days or one month should be sufficient. It does not make sense to pay more than three hundred dollars for just a few days or weeks of usage.

YouTube is another free resource. There are many online video tutorials for just about anything you need to know about your iPhone. It is easy to simply choose the ones that are of interest to you and move onto the next video when you are ready.

Google Chrome has also jumped on the tutorial band wagon. The process is very similar to YouTube. Feel free to compare the two sites and toggle back and forth between the two to find the videos that work best for you.

You choose how much time you want to devote to this learning. Smart phones are here to stay, but their functionality is only going to increase. Learning the phones with each new generation is the best way to stay current. You will build your knowledge base with each step. Best to get started now and continue to update and refresh. Users will always need to be prepared for the next latest, greatest generation of phones.
