Introduction
If you bought this book (or are even thinking about buying it), you’ve probably already made the decision to buy an iPhone. Apple’s iPhone is designed to be easy to use, but you can still spend hours exploring the preinstalled apps, discovering how to change settings, and figuring out how to sync the device to your computer or through iCloud.

In writing this book, I’ve tried to consider the types of activities that might interest someone who is 50 years old or older and picking up an iPhone for the first time.

I’m also assuming that you’ll want to use the Apple Books e-reader app, so I cover its features in Chapter 17. I tackle all kinds of neat things you can do with your iPhone, such as monitoring use of your iPhone and its apps (Chapter 5), discovering new apps (Chapter
