A great benefit of having an iPhone is that you do not need to purchase a GPS system. The iPhone contains an accurate GPS system. Since the iPhone's GPS system already knows current location, simply put in your desired destination, and you will receive concise directions, just as you would with a regular GPS system.

Be sure to avoid getting any water on your iphone. One of the biggest causes of destruction to any cell phone is dropping it into water, or getting water spilled on it.

Then, you will see a message telling you to "Slide to power off". Go ahead and do just that. When you restart the phone, it should work just fine!

If you see a word in any email or note that you are unfamiliar with, just press and hold on it. Your iPhone should bring it up in the newer dictionary feature so that you can know what the word means. This function works in iBooks as well as generally online.

If you have a low data limit, consider using wifi whenever possible to save yourself from overage charges. Setting up wifi at home is simple, and a lot of public places like restaurants, hotels, and cafes all have free wifi set up now. Even grocery stores are starting to offer free wifi.

If you happen to get your iPhone wet, the first thing to do is to power your phone down. Do not try to make calls to see if it works. Do not try to turn it on if it is off. This may cause an electrical short, which may make the problem worse.

When surfing on the Internet on your iPhone, you do not have to manually scroll to the top of a page. Instead, all you need to do is click on the "top bar" option. When using Safari as your browser, this will also show the URL of the current page you are on.
