Inside this book, we cover all the basics you'll need to know about the iPhone 5, starting with details and diagrams of the changes to the phone's exterior--after all, the iPhone 5 is the first of Apple's iOS devices to sport a 4-inch screen, a new connector, and new headphones.

Once you're familiar with the iPhone 5's exterior, you can read a primer for activating your device and getting started with Apple's mobile operating system, iOS. We provide an overview of iOS 6's various Multi-Touch gestures, along with the basics of the system: Curious how to best use Spotlight, or how you might group apps into a folder? We explain all that and more.

And if iOS basics aren't enough to hook you, this book goes into detail about every option in the Settings app, along with information about the iPhone 5's built-in apps and Apple's free iCloud service. We explain how to download apps from the App Store, and provide s list of the top ten iPhone apps every user should own. Finally, we cover the various types of accessories for your phone--including information about Apple's Lightning connector cable and the best cases for your device.

You can read our iPhone 5 Starter Guide right away on an iOS device by purchasing it . If you prefer reading on a Kindle, or your computer, we'll have PDF and Kindle versions available shortly.
