СКАЧАТЬ iPhone can connect to the Internet via 3G.

        EDGE: Your wireless carrier’s slower EDGE (Enhanced Datarate for GSM Evolution) network is available and you can use it to connect to the Internet.

        GPRS/1xRTT: Your wireless carrier’s slower GPRS data network is available and your iPhone can use it to connect to the Internet.

        Wi-Fi: Your iPhone is connected to the Internet over a Wi-Fi network. The more semicircular lines you see (up to three), the stronger the Wi-Fi signal. If your screen displays only one or two semicircles of Wi-Fi strength, try moving around a bit. If you don’t see the Wi-Fi icon in the status bar, Internet access is not currently available. Wireless (that is, cellular) carriers may offer one of five data networks. The fastest (in theory) are the so-called fifth-generation networks; the next fastest is 4G (LTE and UMTS); the next fastest is 3G; and the slowest are EDGE and GPRS. The device looks for the fastest available network. If it can’t find one, it looks for a slower network.Wi-Fi networks, however, are usually even faster than cellular data networks. So iPhones connect to a Wi-Fi network if one is available, even when a 5G, 4G, 3G, GPRS, or EDGE network is also available.Last but not least, if you don’t see one of these icons — 5G, LTE, 4G, 3G, GPRS, EDGE, or Wi-Fi — you don’t currently have Internet access.

        Wi-Fi call: Your iPhone is making a call over Wi-Fi.

        Do Not Disturb: The Do Not Disturb feature (see Chapter 4) is enabled.

        Personal Hotspot: The iPhone is providing a personal hotspot connection to another iPhone or another device.

        Personal Hotspot Indicator: Indicates that your iPhone is either providing a personal hotspot connection to another device; sharing its screen via Screen Sharing; or that an app is actively using your location.

        Recording Indicator: Your iPhone is either recording sound or recording your screen.

        Camera in use Indicator: Appears whenever an app is using your iPhone camera.

        Microphone in use Indicator: Appears whenever an app is using your iPhone microphone.

        CarPlay: iPhone is connected to CarPlay.

        Syncing: Your iPhone is syncing with iTunes.

        Network activity: Some network activity is occurring, such as over-the-air synchronization, sending or receiving email, or loading a web page. Some third-party apps use this icon to indicate network or other activity.

        Call forwarding: Call forwarding is enabled on your iPhone.

        VPN: Your iPhone is currently connected to a virtual private network (VPN).

        TTY: Your iPhone is set up to work with a teletype (TTY) machine, which is used by those who are hearing or speech impaired. You need an optional Apple iPhone TTY Adapter (suggested retail price $19) to connect your iPhone to a TTY machine.

        Portrait orientation lock: The iPhone screen is locked in portrait orientation. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal Control Center and then tap the portrait orientation lock icon to lock your screen in portrait orientation.

        Alarm: You’ve set one or more alarms in the Clock app.

        Location Services: An application is using Location Services, a topic we discuss in Chapter 13.

        Bluetooth: The icon displays the current state of your iPhone’s Bluetooth connection. If the icon is blue, Bluetooth is on and a device (such as a wireless headset or car kit) is connected. If the icon is gray, Bluetooth is turned on but no device is connected. If you don’t see a Bluetooth icon, Bluetooth is turned off. Chapter 14 goes into more detail about Bluetooth.

        Bluetooth battery: A tiny battery icon next to the Bluetooth icon displays the battery level of some Bluetooth devices.

        Headphones Connected: iPhone is paired with Bluetooth headphones.

        Battery: This battery icon displays the level of your battery’s charge. The icon is completely filled with green or white when your battery is fully charged and then empties as your battery becomes depleted. You see a lightning bolt next to the icon when your iPhone is recharging.

Home Sweet Home Screen

      The first page of your Home screen offers a bevy of icons, each representing a different bundled app or function. Because the rest of the book covers each and every one of these babies in full and loving detail, we merely provide brief descriptions here.

To get to the first Home screen, press the Home button. If your iPhone is asleep when you press the button, the Unlock screen appears. Once unlocked, you’ll see whichever page of icons was on the screen when it went to sleep. If that screen happens to have been the first Home screen, you’re golden. If it wasn’t, merely press the Home button again to summon your iPhone’s first (main) Home screen.

      

Three steps let you rearrange icons on your iPhone:

      1 Long-press any icon, and then choose Rearrange Apps to start the icons jiggling.

      2 Drag icons around until you’re happy with their positions.

      3 Swipe upward (Face ID) or press the Home button (Touch ID) to save your arrangement and stop the jiggling.

      The first Home screen

      If you haven’t rearranged your icons or restored your iPhone from a backup, you should see the following apps on your first Home screen, starting at the top left:

       FaceTime: Makes FaceTime video or voice calls to others using Apple devices.

       Calendar: Synchronizes events and alerts between your computer and your iPhone, no matter what calendar program you prefer on your Mac or PC (as long as it’s Calendar, Microsoft Entourage, Outlook, or Exchange, or the online calendars from Google or Yahoo!). Create an event on one, and it’s automatically synchronized with the other the next time they’re synced. Neat stuff.

       Photos: Displays pictures that you took with the iPhone’s built-in cameras, transferred from your computer, received through email, saved from Safari, or acquired as part of your Photo Stream. You can zoom in or out, create slideshows, email photos to friends, and much more. Other phones may let you take pictures; the iPhone lets you enjoy them in many ways.

       Camera: Shoots a picture or video with one of the iPhone’s built-in cameras.

       Mail: Sends and receives email with most POP3 and IMAP email systems and, if you work for a company that grants permission, Microsoft Exchange accounts, too.

       Clock: Displays the current time in as many cities as you like, sets one or more alarms, and makes your iPhone act like a stopwatch or a countdown timer.

       Maps: Displays street maps or satellite imagery of locations around the globe. Also СКАЧАТЬ
