iPhone Tips

Apple iPhone has a number tricks to get your work done faster.  And you may not know some of them.

For example, you can type in uppercase by double clicking the Shift key twice quickly.  To turn off, just click the Shift key again.

And to type a special character like #, you can press and hold the #+= key and then slide to the desired character.  That allows you to continue to use the normal alpha keyboard afterwards.

Finally, to use alpha with special characters, such as ~ , press and hold a letter and other alternatives will appear.  Just select the one you want to use!
