If you're looking for a book that focuses on just the most important, most useful, and most fun stuff about your iPhone 5, 4S, or 4—you've found it. There are basically two types of iPhone books out there: (1) The "tell-me-all-about-it" kind, which includes in-depth discussions on everything from wireless network protocols to advanced compression codes. (2) Then there's this book, which instead is a "show-me-how-to-do-it" book that skips all the confusing techno-jargon and just tells you, in plain, simple English, exactly how to use the iPhone features you want to use most. The iPhone Book is from Scott Kelby, the award-winning author of the smash bestseller, The iPod Book, who takes that same highly acclaimed, casual, straight-to-the-point concept and layout and brings it to learning Apple's amazing iPhone. Scott teams up once again with gadget guru and leading iPhone authority Terry White to put together a book that is an awful lot like the iPhone itself—simple to use and fun to learn. The book's layout is brilliant, with each page covering just one single topic, so finding the information you need is quick and easy, with a large full-color photo on each page so you can see exactly how it works. Scott and Terry added even more tips and tricks than the previous editions, and made it even easier by focusing on just the most useful and most requested iPhone 5 features, so you can start really using your iPhone today!

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT for "Teaching An 'Old Dog' new tricks!!

My daughter gave me an iPhone 4 because I could not hear her clearly on my cell phone and text messaging was the logical answer. A whole new world has opened up to this 85 year old 'Senior Citizen!' This iPhone Book is really boosting me along and so easy to understand answers to my questions! I've had this iPhone 4 about six weeks, was amazed at what all it has to offer and how far i have progressed, thanks to "My Book."

Instead of searching for each thing I wanted to know about my new iPhone, I bought this book. It was worth it. Scott Kelby, is as always a great teacher and Terry White might've just become a new favorite. It has enough detail to get you through what you need to know without bogging you down with too much detail. I read it in about an hour and was ready to go play.

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2013
Verified Purchase
I like the simplicity and the frankness. In some cases I found the instructions a bit thin, but with some playing, they usually worked. It would have been nice to have a few more pictures to show where buttons and arrows, etc are to be found. I definitely would recommend this for those like me who have never used a smartphone. I try to learn something new each day.

It is a bit out of date now since iOS7 was launched, but it was invaluable when learning what a smart phone would do. Even us non-techy types can follow that and make sense of how to operate the phone. Scott Kelby makes it easy to understand

This is the best book I've found and, since there are NO instruction manuals with these phones, it is really helpful. You can read it straight through or just look up the subject you need info on in the appendix and get real solid help.

As a senior citizen I was baffled by many of the features of the iphone. My daughter convinced me to get it so we could "face-time" when calling each other. This book clearly explains the features and "how-to do" whatever your question may be.

I bought this book as I was thinking about getting an iphone and wanted to check out some of it's features and compare the various generations (wasn't sure if the newest generation was worth the extra money). Ultimately didn't get the iphone so never really delved back into the book. It looked good but as an acutal applications manual I don't know.

I have only just bought a S/H Iphone 4s, and there were no instructions with it, and I must say I am more than pleased with
this book. Excellent photographs, and each function is dealt with in clear detail. I will soon be as adept with it as my
grandchildren are !!! I couldn't have made a better choice. Money well spent...!!

Having just entered the iPhone era this book has been a great buy. I'm just used to having a phone for calling, texting and photographs but now with the help of this book I am using the iPhone for much more. If you don't want to keep asking your teenager for help, get this book. It will save your sanity.
