Good tips. You can actually touch and hold the Crop button and it gives you options to select aspect ratios on the crop.

Great tips, moving from Android to iPhone for my next upgrade in April and have saved this video ready. Do you mind telling me what wallpaper you're using on the home screen? Your set up looks so clean, thanks

Hi Michael. Ken from Florida. Me and the wife love your video’s we have only been with Apple two years. You have really helped us.

*An Excellent video Michael!* You've given some great tips! 👍

_Furthermore to add to your list..._

*Timers*
At 2:28, another quick way of setting up a timer is using Siri.
(without even touching the iPhone). e.g. _'Siri, timer five minutes'_

*Keyboard*
At 2:47, another similar method without sliding, is "tap & hold down" the
secondary keyboard button with your left thumb, then tap the desired
character with your right hand. Then release your left thumb. (sounds
complex in description here, but it's easy when you try; especially if
you're doing more than one character)

*Weather Map*
At 6:36, also a nice feature is you can "tap & hold" anywhere on the map to
bring up specific info on that area.

Really great tips. We learn everyday. I’m tempted to activate the “Erase Data” feature. My concern is all my iPhone data being erased if my 3year old manages to get his sneaky hands on to my phone.

[alexiszee]

Michael as usual great video ....I didn't know about the erase data button ...I think it's a great way to protect your information I save to the cloud so my data can be recovered ...thank you looking forward to more tip and tricks
