We all know what an iPhone can do. We can use this helpful device to connect to the Web and watch the latest movies and television shows. We can use it to update our Facebook pages and send out tweets. We are able to play music, make phone calls, and find directions to the nearest Italian restaurant all with the iPhone. However, you may be amazed at what else your iPhone lets you do. Fortunately, there are plenty of smartphone experts out there willing to share their top iPhone tricks with you.

Saving Time

Say you need to type a quick email or report and you’d rather not depend on the fairly small on-screen keyboard that makes it very easy to type an “F” when you intended to hit the “D.” The editors at Macworld, in a recent online feature, have a suggestion: If you are browsing in Safari—before tapping on the address bar, an action that automatically brings up your on-screen keyboard—rotate your iPhone to a horizontal position. If you tap the address bar now, your on-screen keyboard will also appear in horizontal mode. It will be larger, making it simpler for those of us with sluggish fingers to tap out those emails without filling them with typos. The editors at Macworld also offer a timesaving tip for making phone calls. If you’re browsing in Safari and you happen upon the phone number of that resort at which you need to make a reservation, just tap the onscreen number. Your iPhone will automatically dial it for you.

More Efficient Typing

This tip from Apple results in faster typing.  When using the on-screen keyboard tap the space bar twice at the end of a sentence. This will automatically add a period and capitalize the next word you are about to type. If you use a great deal of special characters, you can access them by touching and holding a letter. After that you can chose the character you want and insert it into the message.

Quick Printing, Personalized Entertainment

This tip is for those of you that own an AirPrint-enabled printer. It is possible to print documents, emails, and Web pages from your iPhone with this gadget. To print a Web page simply tap the “Action” icon and choose “Print,” this will send the data to your printer. Printing an email is just as easy; tap “Reply” and select “Print.”

For you music lovers out there, you may create a music playlist on the go. Access the iPod app, tap the “Playlists” icon select the “Add Playlist” icon. Rename your playlist and add any video or song on your phone simply by touching it.
