The main "apple" novelty at the turn of 17/18. - this, of course, iPhone X running iOS 11. The smartphone got rid of features familiar to users - for example, the Home button, which is present in all iPhones since the first generation. Now the main tools in managing the iPhone X are gestures and ... the owner's face. For more information on how to work with the gadget, read our user guide below.
If you are thinking of buying an iPhone X, then in a chic white box you will find:
- EarPods with Lightning connector;
2. The iPhone itself
3. Lightning to USB cable
4. 5W USB power adapter
5. Adapter Lightning to 3.5mm headphone output
EarPods with Lightning connector are classic Apple headphones that lost the AUX output after the iPhone 7 was released.
In order to connect headphones to the above-mentioned jack, the package includesLightning to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter.
It is recommended to use the native Lightning cable to charge the device, which can also be found with the iPhone X. It is a classic minimalistlightning to USB cable; the latter is for workwith USB power adapter.
And, of course, the main component of a small classic box from Cupertino is the iPhone X. You will notice it right away.
The picture above shows all the main elements of the iPhone X case. Study carefully before using the device.
After all, the iPhone X is not just an interesting toy, it is, first of all, a phone. In order for you to be able to make calls and surf the Web via LTE, you need to insert a SIM card.
All iPhones, including the Model X, have a classic SIM card installation. You can also find a special paper clip in the package for this. What you need to do to install a SIM card in iPhone X:
- Remove the SIM slot found on the right side of the iPhone.
- This can be done with a paper clip: insert it into the hole, press lightly, and the slot will slide out of the slots on the iPhone.
- Place the nano-SIM into this slot along the cut corner of the card and insert the slot back into your smartphone.
- After a while, iPhone X will read your SIM card data and activate the Network.
The most important and only button on the iPhone X
Okay, not the only one, but the most important one is an indisputable fact. Of course, we mean the power button located on the right side of the iPhone X. To turn on the iPhone X, you need to hold down this button for a couple of seconds until the Apple icon appears. To turn off the smartphone, also hold down this button, and then confirm the action by swiping on the switch that appears.
Wake iPhone X from sleep
To wake up the iPhone X from sleep mode, you just need to lift the device or tap on its display. After that, Face ID is activated to sign in to iOS.
Face ID: set up and use
The main feature of the iPhone X was the emergence of Face ID. It is a face-reading system designed to replace the outdated Touch ID fingerprint scanner. Now iPhone X unlocking, payment using Apple Pay and a number of other options are performed by reading the face of the device owner.
Face ID is set along with the access code for the iPhone X. The latter is necessary in some cases, for example, if Face ID does not recognize the face of the person who picks up the iPhone X or after 48 hours of inactivity, as well as in a number of other cases. Face ID is configured from the corresponding section of the settings or when the iPhone X is turned on for the first time.
The camera and sensor system at the top of the iPhone X allowed Apple to integrate a set of animated emojis - Animoji - into the iPhone X running iOS 11. When you send these emoticons, the smartphone reads your head movements and facial expressions, transfers this data to an emoticon, for example, a poop, and as a result, you get a talking poop. Incredible, right?
IPhone X volume: volume control and silent mode
On the left side of the iPhone X, you can also find two buttons and one switch. These are volume controls and a mute switch. The latter, by the way, can be reconfigured to lock the orientation of the iPhone X. You can also do this from the device settings.
IPhone X gestures
Another great feature of the iPhone X is its bezel-less design. It was achieved by getting rid of the Home button, which entailed changes in the usual logic of using the iPhone. Most of the actions are now performed using special gestures, the main of which we will analyze right now.
Go to the Home screen... This action is achieved by swiping up from the bottom of the iPhone X.
Opening a screen with active applications... Instead of double-tapping the Home button, Apple offered a similar swipe up to the middle of the screen. To close the application, hold it down with your finger until the “brick” icon appears in the upper right corner of the program thumbnail. Then click on this icon.
Control Panel... To open this element, you need to swipe down on the screen from the upper right corner.
Turn on Siri... If you do not have the “Hey Siri” command set up, you can call the voice assistant by pressing and holding the power button.
Apple Pay... To activate Apple Pay on the screen, double-tap the power button.
Turning off iPhone X... To turn off your smartphone, hold down the power button and the volume up or down button.Screenshot can be done in the same way, but after pressing simultaneously, you must quickly release both buttons.

IPhone X users can take some really cool selfies and then manipulate them with built-in tools.
Also worth noting is the "Portrait" mode and a wide range of different backlights. Find the cube icon in the Camera app and the Portrait section and experiment with your shot!
Apple tried to surpass itself in the development of the "anniversary" iPhone: in addition to the unique Face ID system and talking poop, the guys from Cupertino decided to start forgetting about endless wires. They designed the Qi Station to wirelessly charge your iPhone X and a range of other devices!
This is how the iPhone X turned out. Not bad, right? If you need more information about this smartphone, we recommend reading the full instructions from Apple.
Apple has released the tenth, anniversary generation of its mobile operating system for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. For almost three months we have been actively testing all beta versions for developers, and now the OS has come to its finished form and is available to all users. In this article, we will tell you in detail about the most interesting innovations of the top ten.
Compatibility, stability and performance
The top ten can be safely called the most stable, fast and optimized version of mobile software since iOS 7.
On the other hand, users did not receive any fundamental changes in the interface, but only a few pleasant improvements, thanks to which the process of communicating with iOS has become even better.
Unfortunately Apple has narrowed the list of supported devices. iPhone 4s, iPod touch 5th generation, iPad 3, iPad mini, and older.
IOS 10 video review
Lock screen
New ways to unlock
The familiar slider “ Unblock", Which is a proprietary feature of the iPhone, has sunk into oblivion. Instead, now you just need to press the Home button.
However, in iOS 10, a user with a device equipped with a Touch ID has a choice. By default, pressing the Home button with Touch ID on a locked gadget will not unlock it, but will only open the lock screen. At the same time in iOS Settings along the way The main –> Universal access –> Home there is a new option " Opening with a finger«.
With this switch, you can unlock your iPhone or iPad with one touch of your finger on the Touch ID fingerprint sensor. However, it should be noted that unlocking by touch is possible only when the device screen is turned on (by pressing the Power button, Home or at the time of the notification received).
Instead of a slider Unblock at the bottom of the lock screen the inscription “ Press the Home button to unlock". In addition, an icon with the image of a closed lock appeared in the center of the status bar. After unlocking the device, the lock opens and moves to the left, while the inscription appears in the center Unlocked.
Launching the camera and screen with widgets
The camera on the lock screen is now launched not with a swipe up, but with a swipe to the left.
In turn, swiping to the right moves the user to a screen with widgets, which are controlled using the button Editat the very bottom of the list.
We talked about unlocking methods in more detail.
Expandable notifications
The new firmware allows you to access applications directly from the lock screen, without unlocking the iPhone and launching the desired program. For example, you can quickly reply to an iMessage by pressing hard on the notification.
Naturally, the function is only available on devices with a 3D Touch screen.
Auto turn on the screen
IOS 10 introduces a new feature that automatically turns on the screen when the user picks up a locked iPhone.
This feature is only available on iPhone 6s / 6s Plus, iPhone SE, and iPhone 7 / iPhone 7 Plus. You can activate the function along the path “ Settings» -> « Screen and brightness» -> « Raising to activate».
New sound when locking device
IOS 10 introduces a new screen lock sound reminiscent of the sound of a door closing.
Command centre
This UI element has also undergone cosmetic changes. The Control Center now consists of three screens.
The first is the familiar standard switches and functions. The switches are now colored to match the icons in Settings.
The second screen houses a music player.
The third one houses the smart home control buttons, all the basic settings of which are carried out through the application " House».
Owners of devices with 3D Touch will also love the new gestures that expand the capabilities of Control Center. So, with a strong press on the icons of the flashlight, timer, calculator and camera, the user will have access to additional settings.
For more information about the possibilities of 3D Touch for the "Control Center" on the iPhone, we talked in.
Notification Center
The Notification Center in iOS 10 has become a two-tab. The first tab contains all notifications, and swiping to the right will open the same panel with widgets as on the lock screen. 
By the way, all notifications on the latest iPhone models are now removed.
On all other devices, notifications are deleted via the button Clearwhich is available when swiping from right to left. You can clear notifications grouped by day with a small button with a cross.
Due to popular demand from users of iOS devices, starting with iOS 10, Apple finally allowed the removal of standard applications. The removal process is performed by long pressing the icon.
In fact, proprietary programs only hide from the home screen of the iOS device. The usual process of uninstalling software does not remove the application code, but only hides the shortcuts.
In iOS 10, you can remove shortcuts for most of the default branded apps, including Music, Contacts, Calendar, Maps, Videos, Weather, and more.
In order to return the deleted shortcut of the standard application to the home screen, you need to “re-download” the application from the App Store.
Naturally, the hidden application will not be loaded again (because it has not been deleted), but only its shortcut will be restored.
Photo
The stock application for viewing images and videos has received three main innovations:
Memories... The new tab displays thematic slideshows created in automatic mode by iOS itself. Of course, it is possible to select the background composition, the speed of scrolling through the content and the duration of the playback;
Markup... The Photos app really lacked standard tools for minimal image editing. In iOS 10, this feature is finally implemented. With basic drawing tools, a magnifying glass, and text to be applied, you can always focus someone's attention on the objects you want. If earlier you used third-party applications for this, now in most cases “Photos” will be enough. More about work « Markup»We wrote.
Face recognition... iOS 10 automatically detects faces in photos and puts them in a separate album called “ People". For quick access to photos of some people, you can create Favorites at the top of the album. Also worth noting is the ability to create a slideshow, just like in Memories.
To do this, select an album with a picture of a specific person and click the Play button on the top thumbnail. An additional tap on the screen opens the settings for creating a slideshow.
We talked in more detail about creating a musical slideshow in the Photos application, and how to add names to recognized faces -.
In addition, the Photos app in iOS 10 has received smart search, thanks to which it is now easy to search for photos with pictures of people, animals, places and things ().
Clock

So, you have become the proud owner of a smartphone or tablet from Apple. You've heard so much about how wonderful this device is, but you really have little idea how to use your brand new iPhone / iPad or where to start. In this case, we offer you our version of the instructions for using the iPhone / iPad for inexperienced users.
Do I need covers for iPhone / iPad
Let's go from afar and try to answer one of the rather controversial questions of concern to the newly minted owners of an apple mobile device, namely, do you need a case for an iPhone or iPad?IPhone Cases
Covers, protective films, bumpers - all this, as a rule, is necessary to perform two important functions - protective and aesthetic. If you are not famous for extreme dexterity, lead an active lifestyle, or simply cannot stand the sight of fresh scratches, chips from falling, then the covers are your choice. Some people prefer something brighter to the minimalistic design of Apple, in which the iPhone is made, and this is also a good argument to dress your gadget in a more attractive “outfit” for you.
However, there are some kind of aesthetes among users who believe that no covers and threats of acquiring numerous scratches can compare with the sensations from using the device in its natural form. In this case, if you are not chasing new products and do not plan to change your smartphone every year, reselling the old one, you can refuse to use the cover.
IPad Cases
To all of the above about protective accessories for the iPhone, you can add one more aspect, especially relevant for iPad owners - additional functions. For example, an iPad case is also a convenient stand that makes life much easier for device owners. It is inconvenient to watch movies, chat on FaceTime or Skype, play, read a book and much more on your knees, outstretched arms or laying the device on the table. Stand covers, in addition to holding the device in an upright position, allow you to set the desired angle of inclination.
If you're in the mood for an iPhone or iPad case, you don't need to purchase an accessory from Apple. In the present on the market there is a huge selection of a wide variety of protective covers for every taste. Reviews of some of them can be found in one of the sections of our website -
Inserting a SIM card is easy enough. Look for a special paper clip in the box of your device, or use a regular paper clip, and, as shown in the image below, insert a paper clip into the small hole on the side of the device. When pressed, the SIM-card tray should pop out.
So, the SIM card is inside, let's move on: press the Power button, located on the side of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, and on all previous models and iPad - at the top. Then just follow the instructions of the setup assistant: specify the language, country, connect to a Wi-Fi network, turn on the geolocation service, or skip this stage. The Setup Assistant will then ask you how you would like to configure your device:
- like new;
- restore from iCloud copy;
- restore from iTunes copy.
How to create an Apple ID
You can create an Apple ID in advance or right away when setting up your iPhone / iPad. When you select the "Set up like a new iPhone" option, you will immediately be prompted to choose between "Sign in with Apple ID" or "Create Apple ID for free." The first option is for those who have already managed to create their Apple ID on the “My Apple ID” page, and the second, respectively, for those who are ready to receive an ID now.
By the way, in mind not so long ago from the cloud storage of data of iPhone and iPad users, we draw your attention to the additional iCloud settings. "Mail", "Contacts", "Calendars", "Reminders", "Notes", "Photos" and so on - carefully read the entire list of applications, information from which will be saved in the cloud and disable synchronization for those from which you don't want to stream to iCloud.
If you are interested in transferring not only phone numbers from a SIM card, but also other contacts, such as e-mail, skype, addresses and other information, while previously all data was stored on an Android phone, then use this instruction - ...
