You've probably heard about messaging, email, and health apps. I want you to feel comfortable with all aspects of your iPad or iPhone in an environment that encourages you to learn painlessly at your own pace. My goal is to help you enjoy the wonder of discovering your Apple device. Along the way, I want to:
• Teach you how to use all the features of iOS 13. I say, "all." As far as I know, I found every darned one of them but don't sue me if I missed one.
• Demonstrate the cool and awe-inspiring features. These aren't random tips and tricks. Rather, I have showcased them in a way that lets you find them while exploring a particular feature or topic.
• Help you find what you want, when you want it. The organized and detailed Table of Contents includes more than 200 topics. Skip around to your heart's content.
• Inspire you with over 175 third-party apps. A few of the categories include entertainment, productivity, sports, photography, and games. We'll also cover integration platforms like IFTTT, which opens up the possibility of unlimited applications.
• Focus on the engineering and Apple platforms behind the Apple Watch. The physical device includes the heart rate monitor, accelerometer, gyroscope, and Apple's Force Touch technology. Behind the scenes, learn how Apple is partnering with businesses to extend their HealthKit, HomeKit, and GymKit platforms to enhance your experience for years to come.
• List 30 Common Troubleshooting and Maintenance Suggestions.
As a final selling point, I make an intentional effort to avoid a few of my pet peeves – and those pertain to incomplete instructions. I frequently see directions such as "tap to go to settings," but they leave novice users asking, "tap where?" In another example I read, the instructions mentioned a workout playlist and how to enable it – but assumed nothing went awry (and something ALWAYS goes awry). I intend to cover those bases for you.
