useful iPhone tips & tricks

Posted on 11 December, 2008 by Jimmy Liew

Tap tap tap posted a list of useful iPhone tips and tricks that we might not know. For example how when you hold on to a punctuation key, there will be an expanded window with variations you can key in. Or holding onto the Home button for at least six seconds force quit any opened application.

Some other tips that I know of and not included there:

• pressing and holding onto the text you typed, will pop a magnifying glass that allows you to scroll to any characters for easy corrections. Works the same in Safari’s URL bar
• applications that are not compatible on the iPod Touch, will not show up in the App Store when you search for the app even though the search results will show the app’s name

Do share if you have found some deep-dark secret tips and tricks for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

• another list from iPhone J.D.
