You decided to distinguish yourself from your friends who use Android smartphones and bought yourself a Chinese one copy of iPhone? Well, this makes some sense. With magnificent appearance the copy has all the advantages of Android smartphones: flexible setup, low power consumption, a large number of free applications, the ability to download your content to the device. And all this at a very low price.
Initial setup
So, the first thing after purchasing and removing the phone from the box is to perform the simplest manipulations necessary for further use. First you need to check the charge status of the device. Now this is rare, but nevertheless, the device may come out of the box with a dead battery. In this case, it is worth charging it. Chinese chargers differ from European ones in form factor, so you need to take care of purchasing an adapter in advance. Sometimes, however, the adapter can be found immediately in the box, for which many thanks to the Chinese.
Installing a SIM card
A SIM card is needed to connect your phone to your operator's network so you can make calls, send SMS and surf the Internet without connecting to wireless networks like Wi-Fi.
The SIM card is installed in a special tray, the key for which is located in the box with the device. In some smartphone models, you can also install a second SIM card or a memory card in the tray. After installing the card, you can turn on the smartphone and continue setting up.
Connecting to Wi-Fi
The next step is to connect to wireless network Wi-Fi. During the first launch, you will be offered several networks that the smartphone will detect. Most likely, yours will be among them (if it is not there, check your router settings). Select a network and enter a password if necessary.
Installing applications
After completing the initial setup, you can start immediately full use smartphone. However, it will be better if you immediately worry about installing new applications. The problem with Chinese iPhones is that, oddly enough, they are tailored for the Chinese market. Therefore, initially they have an application store with Chinese applications installed. It does not have popular applications in Russia, such as WhatsApp or Telegram.
To avoid this, you need to enable the Google.Play store on your device. First, take a close look at all the available screens: it is likely that he is located on one of them. The Chinese prefer to hide such extensions in folders called “Google”.
If Google.Play cannot be found, this means that the application is disabled. Enabling it is quite simple:
After these manipulations, Google.Play will work again on your smartphone and you will be able to install all the necessary applications.
Personalization
To make your phone truly “yours,” you need to personalize it. Problem original iPhone The fact is that the ability to make changes to the interface design is very limited. At the same time, its Chinese copy has all the necessary functions that will allow you to do anything with the gadget.
Ringtones
IN original device ringtones have to be purchased from App Store. As for the Chinese iPhone, it’s easier here. You can download any melody from the Internet and set it as a ringtone. It's easy to do:
From now on, for incoming calls, not a standard melody will be played, but your personal one.
Wallpaper
Setting wallpaper is not much different from setting a personal ringtone. First, find the image you need on the Internet and save it to your smartphone. Next, do the following:
Having completed all these points, your Chinese iPhone will be fully prepared for active use. You will be able to make calls, send SMS, use the Internet, and download all available applications. Don’t worry that the device was made in the Middle Kingdom - the technology for producing smartphones in China is so refined and debugged that any equipment will have all the necessary functions and will last for many years.

Of course, there are many features on the iPhone that we use. There are dozens of hidden conveniences in the iPhone that you might not be aware of. These are the best iPhone hacks you probably didn't know about. And so we went:
You may not have noticed that the Home button on the iPhone 7 isn't actually a button, but a sensor. Tactical vibration feedback gives the impression of a physical button without actually being pressed. Therefore, it is completely useless to press it when the phone is frozen or turned off.
And you won’t be able to do the familiar Reset by simultaneously pressing two buttons, Power and Home. Instead, hold down the Power button and the Volume Down button at the same time. Your phone will reboot and start again.
Reset on iPhone 7
Tired of waiting for your phone to charge? There is a way to speed up the charging process, and it's surprisingly simple - turn on Airplane mode! In this way, you will minimize the load on the battery and, as a result, charge as quickly as possible. When Airplane mode is turned on, the phone charges 30-40% faster, and this is already about half an hour.
When entering in address bar the name of the site, and then the URL suffix, for example: .ru, .com, .co, .uk, etc. spend some time. To simplify everything, everything has already been invented: after entering the site, hold down the “.” and all the URL suffixes you need will immediately appear. All you have to do is choose the one you need.
A bit of a dirty trick, your iPhone is always collecting data about you in the background - be it the apps you use the most, the amount of data, or even where and how long you were.
To turn it off, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services > Frequently Visited Places and turn it off. Here you can see not only where you have been, but also how much time you spent in each place. Apple is really analyzing.
You probably filed the Compass app along with the Stocks and Find Friends apps in your Junk or Miscellaneous folder. Now you can pull it back out because it has a second function that will help in repairs or other situations.
No: Don't use your iPhone to hammer nails. Instead, swipe the Compass app from right to left to reveal a very useful digital “Level.” You can check whether that shelf or picture is actually hanging straight, or you can check the flatness of the table or floor.
We all know that tapping the screen while taking a photo will set the camera's focus point, right? Fine. However, every time you move the camera after choosing focus, it changes.
Now, instead of just tapping the screen, tap and hold for a second or two until the AF Locked window appears. Now you can change the frame, rotate and move objects without losing focus.
How to lock focus in a standard camera Have you ever wanted to determine who is calling you while your phone is still buzzing in your pocket? Now you can: In the Contacts application, select the desired contact and click “Edit”, then select “Ringtone”, select “Vibration”. Once you select it, you'll get a variety of vibration options, including a Create Your Vibe tool.
Create your own vibration - it's very simple, just press the screen as you would like to make the phone vibrate.
Siri has a bit of a smug attitude - so there's nothing better than teaching her pronunciation. For example, how she sometimes mispronounces people's names or places the emphasis incorrectly. But now, if Siri says something wrong, just tell her so.
After she makes a mistake, say, "That's not right how you pronounce..." and you'll hear Siri ask you to pronounce the word with the correct accent and then check to make sure everything is correct.
Enjoy listening to soothing music before falling asleep? Then you are probably very familiar with music playing at 3 am or until the early hours of the morning, draining your phone.
Now you can set your music on a timer. In the Clock app, go to Timer. Here, in the “When finished” tag, there is “Stop” at the very end. This will turn off the music, be it Apple Music or other players when the timer reaches zero.
It often happens that you don’t immediately get into touch button“remove” or you close the display with your fingers and don’t see what kind of frame you’ll get. There are more convenient way- pressing any of the volume buttons while holding the phone by the edges and without covering the screen. Also, pressing the volume buttons on the connected headphones will also take a photo or start and stop video recording.
Selfies, photos and videos using headphones Using programs and games on your phone, many of them connect to the Internet and waste your traffic without notifying you about it.
Now by going to Settings > cellular» you can disable internet access individual programs, leaving only those that need the Internet. Thus, launching games or applications where the Internet is not needed will not waste traffic.
Spotlight, fast access and Apple's search for music, programs, basically everything, is great for instant Internet access.
But what happens in the background drains your battery significantly. If you don't use Spotlight, you can turn it off completely or keep only the apps you need to save battery life. Just go to Settings > General > Spotlight Search and turn off what you don't need.
No need to run around with your phone, trying to find out where the signal is best received. Enter *3001#12345#* in the dialer and press call to launch the iPhone secret menu. This menu turns your meter into a much more direct numerical indication of signal strength.
To turn it off, simply exit the menu back. Value -50? Then you will enjoy HD video streams, but if around -120 then you will struggle to send SMS. Just follow the numbers to improve your signals. Also in this menu you can see a lot hidden information about the phone and SIM card.
Perhaps you noticed the message “Do not apply Input”?! So, when working with text, it often happens that a lot of text is erased, or the inserted text replaces the main one, or large text inserted in the wrong place, or other actions that need to be undone.
In such a situation, you just need to shake the phone and a message about canceling the last action will immediately pop up. Very comfortably.
How to cancel last action On Android, there is a special Back button at the bottom of the screen. While on an iPhone it may be at the top of the screen or at the bottom or absent from the screen. The fact is that it is not needed on the iPhone.
In many apps, from Settings to Safari, simply swipe from left to right on the browser or settings screen and iPhone will take you back to the previous page or menu. So why need a special arrow button at the bottom of the screen when you have such an elegant solution?
Speaking of tactile feedback on the iPhone 7 Home button, you can adjust the vibration strength using the settings. Just go to Settings > General > Home Button and you can choose the vibration level that suits you.
