Iphone Online Courses To Get To Know Your Phone

By Evelyn Walls


Several resources are available on the Internet that provide tutorials on getting to know your iPhone. Your preference will depend on what you want to know, the basics or advanced learning for all applications and functions. There are several free courses and some that charge a fee. If had some trouble mastering the iPhone 5, the next generation iPhone 6 will be even more challenging. It has 3D technology unlike any application or system that you may have used in the past. Do not feel embarrassed if you need these tutorials. Anyone older than thirty will benefit from some iPhone online courses.

Several websites offer free online tutorials. One site has nineteen tutorials to learn specific functions on your iPhone. A quiz at the end lets you measure what you learned. You can retake tutorials as often as needed. The lessons are clear and easy to understand. You can take a tutorial anytime, anywhere on your iPod or iPad, or your phone.

The iTunes site also has several free tutorials. They are all free and often provide you with links or access to more tutorials. The videos are fairly short, and you can learn what you need to know in seven to fifteen minutes blocks of time.

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.

You can find some online courses that charge a monthly fee of around thirty five dollars. Typically these sites include a free trial period for a few days. The site will encourage the user to buy an annual subscription for over three hundred dollars. This is probably not advisable, since most people will likely get all the usage they need in the first month.

It seems like there is always YouTube to learn just about anything. Searching the YouTube site will provide numerous video tutorials for very specific topics, and there are always new ones being posted. Just choose the ones that interest you.

Never far behind and usually ahead of the curve, Google Chrome offers many similar tutorials. Users can compare and contrast to decide which they prefer. There is a lot to know about what these phones can do, and most of the information is available for free.

You may not want to devote excessive time to learning how to use all the features of your iPhone. Still, it is a good idea to devote sufficient time so that you are in the loop and up to speed when the next version is introduced. Be patient with yourself. It really is not all that difficult, just a matter of learning a new skill.
