Steve Jobs, unlike most of his colleagues in the shop, was neither a programmer nor an engineer, which is why we see the key Apple devices as it is - simple and convenient for the average user. However, when purchasing their first Apple device, most people still have some questions.
In this material, we focus on first setting up and preparing the iPhone for use, without affecting various nuances related to hardware, jailbreak, cloud service iCloud, etc. Probably, the list of actions below will allow beginners to avoid annoying (but correctable) mistakes.
You need to buy an iPhone from branded Apple stores Store, Apple online stores or official resellers (you can find them). In this case, you should definitely save the sales receipt or receipt, which will avoid many problems in the future.
However, we do not live in an ideal world; most people still prefer to save money. In the case of the iPhone, this may be buying a “gray” (imported bypassing customs), used or refurbished device. In all three cases, you can buy a smartphone relatively cheaply, indistinguishable from the one on display. Apple Store, but there is also a risk of an unsuccessful purchase. We have repeatedly talked about the nuances of choosing and purchasing an iPhone in our materials:
When you turn on your iPhone for the first time, the device must undergo activation on Apple servers and initial user setup. This process should not cause any difficulties, but we will still describe it in as much detail as possible.

The difference between Apple and many ecosystems is the clear linking of devices, rights, subscriptions, content and services to a specific user. That is, almost all actions (flashing a smartphone, installing applications, changing critical important settings etc.) is produced not by the abstract “Ivan Ivanov”, but by a very specific person who is assigned a special identifier - Apple ID. Therefore, you must approach the creation of an appropriate account responsibly - use a trusted mailing address, come up with and remember a complex password and be sure to save it. In addition to protective properties, various bumpers, cases, covers and films can also expand the functionality of the device.

Innovative power supplies for mobile devices users have been waiting for many, many years, however lithium ion batteries are still the most effective option in terms of price/quality ratio. However, despite all their advantages, such batteries have a very limited resource - if the iPhone is handled correctly, the battery capacity will decrease by about 20% after 500 charging cycles, otherwise by 50%.
Just call Siri with a long touch on the Home button and ask her to turn on the camera. To take a photo, press any volume button on your smartphone or headphones.
In those rare cases when the iPhone freezes or you need to free up the device's RAM, an emergency reboot will help. Just hold down for 10 seconds Home button and a lock button.

To turn on the magnifying glass by triple-clicking the Home button, simply select the appropriate item in “Universal Access.”

If you have an iPhone 6s or later, using 3D Touch can make your life a lot easier and save time. This technology will speed up movement between applications, make typing more convenient and...
The iPhone has two volume settings: the first is for calls and notifications, the second is for music and applications. Turning off the “Change with buttons” toggle switch in the sound settings will fix the ringer volume at current situation and will transfer control of music and applications exclusively to the side buttons.

When handing over an iPhone to someone, triple-click the Home button to turn on Guided Access, and the person will only be able to use the open app.

One of the non-obvious functions of “Messages” is viewing the exact time of sending. Just swipe from the right side of the screen.
The ability to set your favorite song as an alarm is not a trick, but a basic one iPhone function, which many people don’t know about. When creating a new alarm, click on the Sound tab.

To reschedule the alarm to a later time, you don’t have to look for the corresponding button on the screen. Press any side button and iPhone wakes you up again in nine minutes.

To set the minimum amount of music that will not be deleted from iPhone, you can set the storage size.
Task managers in App Store offer a lot of functions, but standard “Reminders” are also capable of a lot. For example, a basic application can remind you to buy milk not only at 15:00, but also when you visit the store. To enable this function, select “Remind me by location” and find the desired geolocation in the task settings.
If your iPhone has more than 20% charge left, but the nearest outlet is still very far away, it makes sense to switch to power saving mode. To enable the mode, just ask Siri about it or find the corresponding item in the battery settings. In these settings, you can also find a list of the most energy-consuming applications and close them in a timely manner.

Hundreds of people are contacting service centers throughout Russia who have blocked their IPhone 5 and IPhone 6 by setting the date “January 1, 1970” in their phones. This information was confirmed to Izvestia by official Apple service centers. Earlier, there were reports on social networks that the IPhones of the last two series would be blocked forever if they “returned to the past” in this way. Oddly enough, the warning, on the contrary, encouraged users to do what they shouldn’t do.
Some users, on the contrary, stated that nothing bad would happen to the smartphone - on the contrary, it would acquire exclusive retro fonts and the design of icons and wallpapers in the style of the 1970s. The cost of solving the problem - reassembling the device with reconnecting the battery ( battery) - averages 2 thousand rubles.
An incredible number of people come - there are dozens of them, - they said at the Deepartment service center on the 1st street of Yamskoye Polya in Moscow. - People keep coming and going, and all because they read this information on the Internet. The phone reacts this way due to a developer error.
Some users wanted to “risk the health” of the phone, and some wanted to plunge into retro style.
I don’t want to use bad words, but this is showing off! - continued the interlocutor in the service. - Users want to stand out without thinking about the consequences. The victims say they wanted a “70s-style phone screensaver.”
Some time machine testers wanted to abdicate responsibility for the iPhone experiment.
They usually refer to their children or their girlfriends. Less often they say that someone was playing a joke, they said at the Service Pro center on Bolshaya Dmitrovskaya in Moscow. - Since the end of last week, about 10 people a day have been coming to us with this problem.
MClabs on Chongarsky Boulevard in Moscow drew attention to the fact that before the Internet stuffing there were no similar requests to the service.
This suggests that people simply did not believe that their phone would be blocked and decided to check, the service center added.
Information about dozens of applicants was also confirmed in 20 service centers in Moscow, as well as in Prestige LLC (in Kaluga) and Mobile Service (in Tver) they said that there were people who addressed the problem from the 1970s, but not as many as within the Moscow Ring Road.
Earlier, Apple said that the so-called “error of the 1970s” will be eliminated in the near future. iOS update. The company did not specify why such a bug appeared, but emphasized that it could only occur due to manually entering a date for May or earlier than 1970.
Note that in in social networks- mainly on Facebook and VKontakte - since the end of last week, videos have become popular in which IPhone users set the fateful date, the phone was blocked, and then the “craftsmen” explained on camera how to revive it on their own.
Forensic psychiatrist Mikhail Vinogradov said that the provocateurs who published information on the Internet about an error in the IPhone system knew very well that “a person has such a feature - he is characterized by curiosity.”
Some people think that they are special, they like to feel unique, and if something is forbidden, then it is not necessarily for them. Those who set a “forbidden” date believed that nothing would happen to their phones, or they simply wanted to check the information, says Vinogradov. - A person strives for what cannot be done.

During activation, the iPhone gossips about something and connects to Apple servers. Accordingly, without the Internet, a completely reset iPhone cannot be started. iPhone or iTunes offered me: Set up iPhone like new or Restore from backup copy , I chose the first one. Upon completion of all stages of activation, we receive a clean, empty iPhone, where there is not a trace of the previous owner left.
