What happens if it's on an iPhone? I bought an iPhone, what to do next? What you need to know after purchasing an Apple smartphone. Other basic applications and services

Steve Jobs, unlike most of his colleagues, was neither a programmer nor an engineer, which is why we see key Apple devices as they are - 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 the primary setup and iPhone preparation for use without affecting various nuances related to hardware, jailbreak, iCloud cloud service, etc. Probably, the list of actions below will allow beginners to avoid annoying (but correctable) mistakes.

Check if you bought a new iPhone

You need to buy an iPhone in Apple Stores, Apple online stores, or from 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 at the Apple Store, but there is also a risk of a bad purchase. We have repeatedly talked about the nuances of choosing and purchasing an iPhone in our materials:

How to activate and set up iPhone

When you turn on your iPhone for the first time, the device must go through 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.

• Insert a working SIM card into your iPhone. The “paper clip” for removing the SIM card is located in the box (on the inside of the cardboard); if you don’t have a proprietary tool, you can use a paper clip, pin or needle;

• On the Welcome screen, swipe " Set up" from left to right;
• Choose language;

• Indicate your region of residence;
• Connect to an existing Wi-Fi hotspot(in the absence of one for iPhone activation you will have to connect to a computer with Internet access and installed application iTunes);
• If desired, enable location services (you can later disable them in the settings);

• Enter your fingerprints into the Touch ID memory to later use the scanner to log in to various services, purchase applications, unlock your iPhone, etc.;
• Set a digital screen unlock password (in the parameters you can select the number of characters - 4 or 6);

• Sync data from iTunes/iCloud backups or use a tool to export it from your Android device. If there is no such need, select “Set up as a new iPhone”;

• Enter your Apple ID and password. If you don't already have an Apple ID and don't plan on making iTunes purchases anytime soon, DO NOT SIGN UP FOR IT ON THIS SCREEN! Consistently press " No Apple ID or forgot it", and then " Configure later in Settings" And " Do not use". Create an Apple ID without linking it to a credit card (described in the next paragraph of this article);

• Accept Apple's terms and conditions;

• Activate virtual assistant Siri or select " Turn on later«;

ON THIS TOPIC:

• If desired, submit a diagnostic report to Apple;

• Select the display mode of interface elements according to your vision and preferences;

• The activation and configuration process is completed, you can start working.

How to create an Apple ID

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 (reflashing a smartphone, installing applications, changing critical settings, etc.) are performed 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 email 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.

Extending battery life

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%.

We filled the phone with various information (games, music, photos, movies), now we will learn to quickly get rid of all files and settings, returning the device to its original state. Today we will look at reset all Apple iPhone information with iOS 7 firmware. But if you don’t have a phone, but a player iPod touch or Tablet PC iPad, then you can also perform a hard reset using the instructions below.

We will erase all information from the iPhone using the phone itself, namely the Reset section. In addition to a complete data reset, we will look at other types of reset available in the settings of any iPhone, iPod or iPad, which can also be useful. The method being discussed today is not the only one; you can just as quickly erase absolutely everything from an iPhone in another way - using the restore procedure in iTunes. There is a third way - remote reset.

To be honest, I’m doing today’s reset for you, our reader, my iPhone has accumulated a lot of information that I don’t want to delete at all. In general, I recommend using a reset or a complete reset:

• When your device is about to get a new owner
• After many experiments and testing thousands of applications
• Reset sometimes helps in case of malfunctions iOS firmware

Since I need my information, before resetting I will do the following:

Now I'm ready to perform a hard reset. Before we begin we need to know that immediately after the reset we will need a point Wi-Fi access or iTunes installed on your computer with Internet access. Although probably Mobile Internet will do too. Another very important feature specifically for iPhone owners is that the phone must have a . If you have a locked model, do not reset. Well, iPad and iPod touch users have nothing to fear. Here we go.

The first thing you need is a good charge level battery, if you do not have 100% charge, then it is better to connect your iPhone to power.

We put it on charge, now we go to the standard application “ Settings", select the section " Basic" Scroll to the very bottom, there is the section “ Reset" Here we see the following types of reset:

• Reset all settings
• Erase content and settings
• Reset network settings
• Reset keyboard dictionary
• Reset Home Settings
• Reset location warnings

Let's look at the first three types of the most popular resets:

Reset Apple iPhone

The very first one is “Reset all settings”, a very convenient thing when you need to reset all iPhone settings without losing information on the phone.

Press the button Reset all settings, a notification appears:

Are you sure you want to continue? All settings will be reset. Information and media files will remain.

We confirm the reset with a few more clicks – Reset all settings. The reset procedure lasts less than a minute and applies everything to the iPhone. initial settings, including among standard applications, the alarm clocks are also worn out, but applications, music, photos, contacts and videos remain in place. Safari bookmarks and calendar notes also remained intact.

Full iPhone content reset

The second button from the top, “Erase content and settings,” allows you not only to reset settings, but also to erase all data from your iPhone or other device. Very useful when selling or donating a used gadget.

If you want to delete everything from the iPhone, press the button Erase content and settings, we see a warning:

Are you sure you want to continue? All media files, data and settings will be erased. This action is irreversible.

We confirm a couple of times with the button – “ Erase iPhone". The phone turned off and turned on again after 2 minutes; in some cases, the reset procedure may take longer, it all depends on the volume.

Important! When buying a used iPhone, before paying, always reset using the button - Erase content and settings, this will allow you to avoid possible problems in the future.

After turning on, the iPhone asked to perform activation, during which we needed the Internet (Wi-Fi or iTunes on a computer with Internet access). 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, with not a trace of the previous owner left. We tried to find at least something in the iPhone, but there was nothing left, the “Erase content and settings” button deleted everything.

Surely you also treat your smartphone as a treasure. But unfortunately, you don’t take care of it properly. Huffington Post journalists compiled a list of 11 usage errors. Subscribe.

11 errors in using iPhone

1. Never turn it off

You really should turn off your phone at least once a week, otherwise the battery will drain faster than it should. According to experts, the battery deteriorates when we do not use the smartphone while it is on. If you use your phone as an alarm clock, consider replacing it with a regular cheap watch, or turn off your iPhone for periods of time during the day.

2. Leave Wi-Fi and Bluetooth always on

When both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are turned on on your iPhone, but neither is used, energy is wasted. IN Everyday life you probably don't need Wi-Fi and Bluetooth always on. It's better to turn them off and turn them on only when necessary.

3. Use it in bad weather

Your iPhone is not designed to withstand extremely hot or cold temperatures, so you shouldn't use it outside when it's below 0 degrees Celsius or above 30 degrees Celsius. Because of this, the battery is depleted, and the phone also freezes for a while. If you know in advance that you will have to go out in bad weather, turn off your iPhone or at least keep it in your pocket, away from the weather.

4. Leave it to charge overnight

While it's convenient to leave your iPhone charging overnight, some people think it's not the best idea. This topic has caused a lot of controversy. Many people agree on one thing: leaving the iPhone on after it's fully charged is harmful. Because of this, the battery deteriorates over time and the phone runs out faster.

“The battery will perform better if you disconnect it from the power source before it reaches 100%. Leaving your phone on the charger when it's already fully charged will reduce the performance of your smartphone slightly,” Gizmodo wrote last year. Try charging it throughout the day so it turns off immediately when fully charged. Well, or use a special timer for this.

5. Fully charge or discharge the battery

Lithium-ion batteries—the kind used in iPhones—work best when they're charged between 50 and 80 percent, Shane Broeski, founder of Farbe Technik, a battery-charging accessory company, told Digital Trends. On the other hand, if the battery is completely discharged, the battery will enter a “fully discharged battery state”, because of which the ions will not be able to hold a charge for long, Apple representatives note. By recharging the battery at short intervals, the battery ions receive enough energy to operate for a long time and increase its lifespan, he adds. Charging the battery is akin to having snacks and meal breaks throughout the day. Think of it this way.

6. You are not using an Apple charger

Chargers Apple expensive, but they are worth the cost. Using chargers from other brands may have negative effects on your phone. According to some reports, counterfeit chargers even cause fires and explosions. That's why Apple created a return program for USB charging adapters. According to it, since August 2013, in exchange for fake chargers, users received a discount on real Apple chargers. (Discounts were valid until August 18, 2013).

7. Don't clean it

Your iPhone looks disgusting. Well, it's really disgusting. There are fewer germs on your pet's toilet seats and dishes than on your iPhone. Apple recommends wiping your device with a “soft, lint-free cloth.” In addition, devices with ultraviolet radiation are used to disinfect the phone. Don't forget to clean the charging port. This is where debris from pockets and wallets gets stuck and accumulates, causing connection problems. Use a toothpick, a thin needle, or the sharp end of an earring to remove dirt from there.

8. You walk around with your phone in your hands, not noticing anything.

Whether you realize it or not, the iPhone is a valuable item on the black market and a desirable target for thieves. About 40% of thefts in large cities in 2013 were thefts of mobile devices. The American Federal Communications Commission reported this last year. Therefore, it is not safe to walk with your phone in your hands, with your head in the clouds.

9. Didn't protect it with a password

Half of iPhone users don't set a lock password on their phones, Apple reported in 2013. If you haven't set a passcode on your iPhone, if it's stolen, thieves will get full access to your data and personal information. A password is the easiest way to protect personal data from intruders.

10. Give access to your location to all applications in a row

Apps like Maps need "location access" in order to function correctly. However, they usually notify you when you need to enable this feature. Other applications work fine without geolocation. Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services and deactivate the feature by disabling it in all non-essential applications. Your battery will thank you.

11. Allow push notifications in every application

Push notifications keep your phone on high alert and require a constant data connection, draining your battery. When the phone receives another notification, the display lights up, thereby reducing battery life. Researchers also found that notifications make it difficult to concentrate. Go to Settings > Notifications and select only one important app.

The iPhone, like any complex technology, has many hidden functions, many of which are very useful. Here is a selection of life hacks.

1. Unlock your phone with your nose

Using a smartphone in winter is not very convenient. Even if you have gloves that transmit touch to the screen, in order to turn on the phone, you must either enter the password each time or take off your gloves. But there is another way. In the TouchID system settings, select “add a fingerprint” and place your nose instead of your finger. In the cold, your nose sticks out anyway, so bringing the phone to your nose is easier than taking off your gloves.

2. Turn your phone over so it can move away from you

When you're working, your iPhone screen constantly lighting up can be very distracting. There’s a retweet here, there’s a news story, there’s a channel update. Even if notifications come without sound or vibration, your phone is constantly blinking somewhere in your field of view. If you flip it upside down, your phone will only vibrate for the most important alerts. And if you have iOS 9 (or higher) installed, the proximity sensor will also tell the phone that the screen does not need to be turned on again. And this way you can save battery power surprisingly significantly.

3. Fall asleep faster in the evening

Starting with iOS 9.3 firmware, in iPhones iPhones 5S and newer introduced the Night Shift function. This is a mode that changes the color of the screen depending on the time of day. The darker it is outside, the fewer cold colors and the more warm ones. If you are on your phone in the evening on social networks, the bright light of the screen prevents you from falling asleep - it interferes with the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone. With Night Shift enabled, this effect is reduced. You can enable the mode in the screen settings, and when the sun sets, the screen will gradually change color.

4. Play music or podcasts quickly

When you connect headphones to your phone or insert a USB cable that is connected to your car, an icon appears in the lower left corner of the lock screen. latest application, which you actively used with headphones - music, podcasts, YouTube. Very convenient for quick launch. The same thing will happen if you double-click the home button - the icon will be at the bottom, under the carousel of open applications.

5. Close apps quickly

If you like to close apps to prevent them from draining your battery, we will disappoint you. This action is quite pointless, alas. When the application is running in the background, it consumes almost no battery. But this way you can free up a little random access memory. Well, for some people it’s just calmer when everything is closed. In any case, this can be done more efficiently. If you swipe across the screen with three fingers rather than one, you can close applications three times faster, since the iPhone screen is able to track more than one touch at a time.

6. Photograph discreetly

There are two ways to secretly take a photo. First, press any volume button on your phone, it works like a shutter. But all the same, if you twirl the phone in your hands and press a button, someone will notice. If you have headphones with volume buttons (it is important that they work; some headphones have buttons, but they do not change the volume on an iPhone), you can take a photo and pretend that you are adjusting the headphones. We hope you will not use this knowledge for evil.

7. Calculate sines and cosines

If you open the calculator and turn the iPhone into landscape mode, that is, on its side, a regular calculator turns into a logarithmic one, and you can carry out more complex calculations.

8. Check if the painting is hanging straight

Every iPhone since the 3GS came out has a compass. But besides this modern smartphones stuffed with other sensors. Among other things, there is an accelerometer and a gyroscope. These sensors allow you to use your iPhone as a level and check the evenness of any surface. Open the Compass app, swipe left, and touch your phone to whatever you're checking for levelness.

9. Get new phone instead of the dead one

There are many ways to break an iPhone. But if you give your iPhone in for the first repair that comes along, the warranty will be void. And the main thing you deprive yourself of when you do repairs from an uncertified specialist is the opportunity to replace your phone. If you yourself broke your phone, drowned it or burned it, you can request a paid replacement for a new one at a certified repair center. To do this, it is necessary that the phone was officially purchased, less than two years have passed since the date of purchase, and that the phone has not been opened with a screwdriver. Most likely it will be more expensive than repairs, but you will have a completely new device.

10. Turn off your phone, even if your button is broken

On iPhones, the on/off button sometimes breaks. Models 4 and 4S were especially guilty of this. Almost all iPhones of that generation no longer have these buttons. But there is a trick. There is an Assistive Touch mode in the settings - for people with disabilities. This button appears on the screen, and with its help, almost all functions of the phone can be adjusted with one hand. Including, there is a “lock screen” button. This could save you from thousands of messages and calls dialed by your butt because the button doesn't work.

11. Recover accidentally deleted text

If you misspelled, pasted text into the wrong document, erased what you were going to copy, the iPhone has a way to undo latest action with text. To do this, you need to shake the phone. A window will appear asking whether you want to cancel this action or not. This feature is rarely needed, but when it is needed, it is needed very badly. Just remember, if you made a mistake with the text, shake your phone.

Surely many have heard about the date January 1, 1970 and what will happen if you put it on your iPhone. I propose to fully understand this issue today.

The topic is quite interesting and deserves attention, because without knowing about it, you can very easily turn your iPhone into a real brick.

All aspects of this problem and its solution will be further in the material.

What happens if you set the date to January 1, 1970 on your iPhone?

It all started when a certain “Reddit” found a rather funny bug on devices starting with the iPhone 5S, that is, all models that have a 64-bit processor.

For this bug to occur, the following actions were performed in the video:

1. went to Settings - General - Date and time;
2. disable Automatic so that you can configure it manually;
3. set the date to January 1, 1970 and the time to 1:00;
4. we get a brick.

As soon as this problem appeared, it created quite a lot of noise and many video bloggers began to test their gadgets. After all, it became interesting about the reason.

The main theory is that iOS is operating system UNIX based. If you are exhibiting given date, then the system time becomes negative.

The computing components of the smartphone begin to go crazy and then the gadget simply cannot be loaded.

Standard solutions like reboot or recovery via DFU and Recovery mode It just doesn't work.

Solving the problem with the date January 1, 1970 on iPhone

We all know that to reset your computer, you just need to disconnect the battery on motherboard and then, the settings in the BIOS will be reset, including the time.

Therefore, given that the iPhone is a kind of computer, the solution is similar. We need to do a very similar procedure on the phone.

There are two ways to achieve a reset:

• wait until the battery is completely discharged;
• disassemble the phone and manually disconnect the battery from the device.

In the first option, you will actually have to wait quite a long time and here you will have to be patient. And this option is really normal if you don’t want to spend money.

In the second case, you just need to do this operation yourself, but only if you have done this before and have enough experience, otherwise you can damage the device.

But the most perfect option, just go to any service center and say what your problem is. In a matter of minutes, the problem will be fixed and your iPhone will come to life again.

conclusions

Now you know what exactly will happen if you set the date January 1, 1970 on any iPhone starting with 5S. At one time this all caused quite a stir.

Today it is not completely clear whether this problem has been fixed or not. There are articles online about the fix, but there is no official confirmation from Apple.

Therefore, for now it is better to avoid the evil jokes of your friends and not let them do it. Although now you know, if this happens, what needs to be done in this case.
