Exploring Apple iPhone - Kevin Wilson
What’s New in iOS 15?
iOS 15 introduces a few new features and improvements, let’s take a look at some of the main ones.
You can now place widgets among the apps on your Home Screen.
You can use Live Text to copy text out of an image and paste it into another app, or translate the text into another language.
You’ll need an iPhone XS, XR or later.
You can also look up information. Visual Lookup identifies objects and landmarks in photos. Here in the photo below, visual lookup has identified my dog as a dachshund, and offers extra photos and info.
SharePlay allows you to watch and listen to music in your FaceTime calls with your friends.
Memojis now includes clothing, new headgear and glasses. You can customise these with colours and styles to suit your tastes. You can use your memojis in the messages app as well as facetime.
Focus mode allows you to concentrate on a task and minimise distractions. You can turn on ‘do not disturb’ to switch off all apps & notifications, or choose from pre-defined focus modes for work, sleep, fitness, gaming, reading or driving. You can select only the apps, people or notifications related to a particular task such as work. You can also configure your own focus modes.
In Safari, the tab bar is now at the bottom making it a bit easier to control.
The maps app now has an interactive globe but this only works on an iPhone XS or later.
With wallet, you can add home, hotel, office and car keys.
The ‘find my’ app now has live locations so you can see where your family and friends are.
A Series Chip
The Apple A series is a series of microprocessors known as a system on a chip (SoC) used to power iPhones and iPads. The A series chips combine the CPU, Graphics Processor (or GPU), memory (or RAM), flash storage, and a neural engine which is a component designed to use machine learning and artificial intelligence for tasks such identifying objects in photos, or applying an automatic filter to a picture, analysing videos, voice recognition, and so on.
Liquid Retina Displays
A Retina Display is a screen with a high pixel density - meaning there are a lot more pixels per inch than a standard computer screen. This generates a high resolution, crystal clear image. The image on the left is a standard LCD screen, while the image on the right is a retina screen.
Liquid Retina XDR display is lit by multiple mini-LEDs, and supports resolutions of 2732x2048 pixels for a total of 5.6 million pixels with 264 pixels per inch, and delivers P3 wide colour giving richer and more vibrant colours.
ProMotion technology automatically adjusts the display refresh rate up to 120 Hz (twice the rate of typical LCD displays) to the optimal rate for the content.
High Dynamic Range (HDR) delivers detail in extremely bright parts of the image along with the subtle details in the darkest parts of the image.
True Tone uses multiple sensors to adjust the colour temperature of the display on your iPhone depending on the ambient light, to make the display look more natural.
A nit is measurement of the brightness of light. Computer monitors usually range from 200 - 600 nits. Higher nits allow you to brighten the display so you can see the screen clearly on a sunny day.
Setting up iPhone
If you’ve just bought your new iPhone and taken it out the box, the process to set it up to use for the first time is very simple. You don’t even have to connect it to your computer.

Insert your
SIM
Make sure your device is off before doing this. To insert a SIM card from your network provider. Find the SIM Card Tray. This is on the side edge of your phone, next to the volume buttons (or the opposite side button on older models).
Push the end of a paper clip into the release hole on the side of your device. The tray will pop out.
Pull out the little tray and insert your SIM.
The SIM will only go one way around, so make sure it clips firmly into the cutout in the tray.
Slide the little tray back into your phone, until it clips firmly into place against the side.
Power Up
To power on your iPhone, press and hold the side button on the right hand edge of the device until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
Once your iPhone powers up, you’ll land on the lock screen, see .
If you have a new iPhone, you’ll need to run through the initial setup. See .
Charging your iPhone’s Battery
Plug your iPhone directly into the charger to charge the battery. Plug one end of the lightning cable into the charger.
Plug the other end of the lightning cable into the port on the bottom of your iPhone.
Your battery will take a few hours to charge. Best practice is not to let your battery deplete completely, charge it up when you still have about 20% charge left.
Unlock & Wake iPhone
To unlock and wake your phone, press the side button while looking at the iPhone screen. This will allow the True Depth camera and Face ID to identify you to unlock your phone.
When you see the lock icon at the top unlock, swipe upwards on the white bar at the bottom of the screen.
If you haven’t set up your Face ID you’ll be prompted for your passcode. This is the code you enter during the initial setup procedure.
Initial Setup
To use iPhone, you need an internet connection and your Apple ID. In iOS 11, Apple introduced an automated setup feature that allows you to transfer settings from another device, such as an iPhone. Both devices must be running iOS 11 or later. If you don’t have this, you can still set up your iPhone manually. First lets take a look at the auto setup feature.
Auto Setup
If you have iOS 11 or later set up on another device such as another iPhone or iPad, you can use it to transfer your settings to your new iPhone.
On your iPhone, slide or press the home button to start, then select your language.
Scroll down the list, select your region or country.
Now, if you have iOS 11 or 12 set up on your old iPhone, bring it over to your new iPhone. You’ll see a prompt on your old iPhone. Tap ‘continue’.
Your new iPhone will display a strange pattern, like the one shown below.
Using the camera on your old iPhone, position the blue pattern in the circle shown on the bottom of your old iPhone’s screen.
Now leave your old iPhone next to your new iPhone until the set up process is complete. Your new iPhone will activate, you may need to enter your passcode, the same one you use to unlock your iPhone.
Follow the prompts on your iPhone to set up Face ID.
Manual Setup
Turn iPhone on and follow the Setup Assistant. This will guide you through the process
Swipe your finger across the bottom of the screen.
Select your language from the list. Scroll down, select your country or region.
Tap ‘set up manually’ at the bottom of the screen.
Tap on the name of your WiFi Network. Enter your WiFi password or network key when prompted.
Tap ‘Enable Location Services’. The location services allow your iPhone to determine your current physical location. Some apps require this; maps and other apps that provide local information.
Enter a passcode and set up Face ID. While looking straight at your phone, rotate your head around in a circular manner - to the left, up, to the right, and down - almost like doing neck exercises, until the green marker makes it all the way around the circle.
Tap ‘done’ to accept.
Tap ‘set up as New iPhone’. This will create a clean iPhone. If you have upgraded to a new iPhone, you can tap ‘restore from iCloud backup’ and select the latest backup. This will set up your iPhone using your previous settings and data.
Tap sign in with your Apple ID. Enter your username and password.
Hit ‘continue’ to set up Siri. Follow the instructions on the screen to initialise Siri.
Tap don’t send
or don’t share
on ‘Apple Diagnostics’ and ‘App Analytics’.
Tap OK to get started.
Upgrading your iPhone to iOS 15
Make sure your iPhone is plugged into a power charger and that it is connected to your WiFi.
Once you have done that, go to the settings app then tap ‘General’.
Select ‘Software Update’.
If there are any updates available, you’ll see them listed here, Tap ‘Download and Install’.
To update now, tap ‘download and install’. Enter your passcode when prompted. Your iPhone will restart and the update will install. This might take a while.
Adjusting Settings
To adjust any settings on your iPhone, you’ll need to use the settings app.
Opening the Settings App
You’ll find the icon on the home screen.
Settings are grouped into sections based on the feature the settings control. You’ll find a section for display, sound, or home screen settings among many others.
