      Introduction

      If you bought this book (or are even thinking about buying it), you’ve probably already made the decision to buy an iPhone. The iPhone is designed to be easy to use, but you can still spend hours exploring the preinstalled apps, finding out how to change settings, and figuring out how to sync the device to your computer or through iCloud. I’ve invested those hours so that you don’t have to – and I’ve added advice and tips for getting the most out of your iPhone.

      This book helps you get going with the iPhone quickly and painlessly so that you can move directly to the fun part.

      About This Book

      This book is specifically written for mature people like you, folks who may be relatively new to using a smartphone and want to discover the basics of buying an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, making and receiving phone calls, working with its preinstalled apps, and getting on the Internet. In writing this book, I’ve tried to consider the types of activities that might interest someone who is 50 years old or older and picking up an iPhone for the first time.

      Foolish Assumptions

      This book is organized by sets of tasks. These tasks start from the beginning, assuming that you’ve never laid your hands on an iPhone, and guide you through basic steps using nontechnical language.

      This book covers going online using either a Wi-Fi or 3G/4G connection. I’m also assuming that you’ll want to use the iBooks e-reader app, so I cover its features in Chapter 16. I also assume that you might be interested in the Health app, so I give you an overview of it in Chapter 22. Not to mention covering other great things you can do with your iPhone, such as taking and sharing your photos and videos (Chapters 18 and 19, respectively), checking the news (Chapter 26), and much more!

      Icons Used in This Book

      Icons are tiny pictures in the margin of pages that call your attention to special advice or information, such as:

      

These brief pieces of advice help you to take a skill further or provide alternate ways of getting things done.

      

Heads up! This may be difficult or expensive to undo.

      

This is information that's so useful, it's worth keeping in your head, not just on your bookshelf.

      

Maybe this isn't essential information, but it's neat to know.

      Beyond the Book

      To get the Cheat Sheet, go to www.dummies.com and type iPhone For Seniors For Dummies, 6th Edition cheat sheet in the search box.

      Topics include commands to use when talking to Siri, some News, Weather, and other apps you might want to check out, and a rundown of Apple Music.

      Where to Go from Here

      You can work through this book from beginning to end or simply open a chapter to solve a problem or acquire a specific new skill whenever you need it. The steps in every task quickly get you to where you want to go, without a lot of technical explanation.

      At the time I wrote this book, all the information it contained was accurate for the iPhone 5, 5s, and 5c, SE, 6 and 6 Plus, 6s and 6s Plus, 7 and 7 Plus, and version 10 of macOS (the operating system used by the iPhone), and version 12.5 of iTunes. Apple is likely to introduce new iPhone models and new versions of iOS and iTunes between book editions. If you’ve bought a new iPhone and found that its hardware, user interface, or the version of iTunes on your computer looks a little different, be sure to check out what Apple has to say at www.apple.com/iphone. You’ll no doubt find updates there on the company’s latest releases.
