The Underground Guide To The iPhone

iphone big The Underground Guide To The iPhone

Because of the tight integration of third-party apps, you can do nearly everything with your iPhone — be it gaming, working, fooling around, and of course phoning.

However, because of the sheer vastness of possibilities, not a lot of people are using their iPhone to the full extent of its capabilities. As of such, a lot of great features are missed on the users.

MakeUseOf.com is proud to present ‘The Underground Guide to the iPhone’. Read about the basic user interface and a ton of incredible iPhone features you would’ve otherwise missed.

The guide shows in detail how to perform both the very simple and the most tedious tasks. Find out how to get your hands on fresh apps, how to keep your device synchronized and even how to jailbreak your iPhone!

Completely free, with no strings attached.

      What is the problem you’re experiencing? Did you get access to download password?
      If you’re already subscribed, try to use the same email you are subscribed with and
      you should be taken to a page with the download password.

    In #24 you say “Customize the double click functionality of the Home button. Settings->General->Home. Available destinations are Home, Phone Favorites, iPod Controls and Search.” I don’t see a ‘Home’ option under Settings/General. Please clarify.

      Hi there,

      The guide is outdate and was written for iPhone 2, hence if you have iPhone you won’t see that button there.
      We are already working on the newer guide, stay tuned.
