One of the things that people look for in a phone is if it vibrates when it is in silent mode. For a while, iPhone users dismissed this feature as just something else that comes with any kind of phone. Nobody really cared as long as it vibrated whenever it was on silent mode.

As iOS evolved over time, Apple then offered a way for people to actually customize their iPhone vibrations. This feature...

The iPhone camera is one of the best mobile camera devices out there and it truly shouldn’t be underestimated. It may not have the sophisticated exposure modes that a full digital camera does. But you can still tweak exposure by tapping on the screen. By tapping on the screen, you focus on what you want for the picture that you want to take. This also sets the photo’s exposure off on that part of the scene as well. Point your phone at a high-contrast area like in a dark room with a lamp in the corner. Then tap on the lamp on...

Now tap on any song or on any video that is currently on...

Whenever you make a call to a number that you usually don’t call, you may not want the receiver to see or make a record of that call at all. This is where blocking your own number so that they won’t see it on their caller ID is particularly helpful. This is a carrier-specific service so call up your provider first to see if you are able to use this feature on your iPhone. It probably won’t work on a pay as you go service with your iPhone.
