Without them, your iPhone works longer and faster.

I will skip the most commonplace things that everyone knows, namely: turning on the power saving mode, turning off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, lowering the brightness, removing applications from multitasking, and more.

1. Stop enduring unnecessary notifications

How does this help? But a new application from a game or useless application turns on the screen, uses system resources, and this wastes battery power. Leave them only for important programs.

Disable unnecessary notifications: Settings - Notifications.

2. Application work in the background is not needed

Disable apps that use Wi-Fi or cellular when you are not using your phone. Messengers, mail and the bank application can be left on, for example. Everything for your goals and objectives.

The work of applications in the background is turned off here: Basic - Content update.

3. Mail doesn't need Push

When adding a new account, push data loading is automatically enabled. Not for every mail, but still in most cases.

If you do not use mail often, then it is better to change Push to content update by time or manually. Thanks to this, the mail will stop always looking for new letters, but will do it after a certain time or when using the application.

Turn off the battery eater Push here:

4. Free geolocation services from unnecessary software

Many applications ask for permission to update the background location on the first launch, and you, without paying attention, allow this useless game to do it. Disconnect everything unnecessary applications, set “when using a program” for the desired programs and “always” for the most important programs.

We remove unnecessary applications from the geolocation menu: Privacy - Geolocation Services.

5. Turn off animations, turn on lowering transparency

I would only recommend this as a last resort when you need to maximize the battery life. Not everyone will like it, because animations are a huge part of iOS and without them it looks different.

How to turn off animations: Basic - Universal access - Reduced movement.

6. Clean your RAM once

Often processes are stored there that you don't need. How to do it? Hold down the power key until the slider appears, release the power key and hold Home button 5 seconds.

7. And stop giving Apple all your data

Why do you need to provide Apple data? There is nothing confidential, but this system regularly checks the geolocation, which wastes the smartphone's charge.

Turns off here: Privacy - Geolocation Services - System Services - Product Improvement.

P.S. Have a great weekend everyone!

After hard thinking and choice mobile phone purchase is finally made. In the hands of a device manufactured by Apple. How to turn on the iPhone 5S for the first time? After the first switch on with the button of the new iPhone, you need to activate it. In addition, you should try to avoid those mistakes that are inherent in beginners who have never previously held such mobile phones in their hands. We will talk about all the features of the first inclusion and activation of a new phone further.

• Initial setup;
• Connection to PC or laptop and;
• First start.

It is important to emphasize that if the iPhone 5S is locked by the operator cellular, in the salon of which the device was purchased, then for correct activation you will need a SIM card of this particular operator.

Turning on the device for the first time

In order to start the iPhone, you need to press and hold the power button in this position for a while, which is located at the top of the phone. If this operation is performed correctly, a silvery apple should appear on the screen of the device - the Apple logo.

Setting up iPhone for the first time

Now you should select a language from the list suggested by the system. Then you need to select the country of residence and connect the device to Wi-Fi connection... If it is not there, then you will need to connect the iPhone to a PC or laptop for activation.

Connecting a PC or laptop phone and continuing activation

Now it is advisable to consider a more complex option for activating the device using personal computer or laptop. For such an operation, you will need the USB cable that comes with every new iPhone phone. It must be connected first to the phone, and then another part to a PC or laptop.

After that, a corresponding image will appear on the device screen. First of all, after connecting the phone to the computer, you need to activate or leave the location services turned off. They are used for GPS work, Google maps and other purposes. They can be turned on immediately, or you can do this later after the device has been activated.

The next step is to select the "Set phone as new" option. Since the device is turned on for the first time, and there is no need to restore any information, this option is preferred. Then you should accept the user agreement by clicking on the “Agree” icon in the lower right corner. Those users who have become happy owners of the iPhone 5S have the opportunity to set their fingerprint. This function can be used immediately, or it can be postponed. In this case, an example is given of enabling this option immediately during the activation of the device. You must select "Set Up Now".

After installing the fingerprint, you will also need to set a password. This is due to the probable need to use just this method to unblock access to the phone, for example, in the cold season, when the user is wearing gloves. Or, for example, the hand will be dirty and it will become impossible to correctly remove the fingerprint. It is for these purposes that a combination of characters is used, which must be entered and memorized.

At the next stage, you need to give the right or prohibit the system to analyze data on the iPhone and send a report to the servers of the manufacturer's company. Such diagnostics, as a rule, include error analysis and the collection of some other information. In this case, an example is shown of how to prevent the iPhone from sending information to the Apple servers. To do this, you must select the "Don't Send" option.

After this last procedure on iPhone screen the message "Welcome to iPhone" should appear! It means that the activation procedure is completed and the phone is ready for use. Inexperienced Users mobile devices Apple, as well as completely newbies, may encounter a number of common problems when turning on the iPhone 5S for the first time.

Problems when turning on iPhone for the first time and their solutions

When you turn on the iPhone 5S for the first time, it is recommended to remove protective film from the body of the device. Otherwise, this factory protection of the phone will constantly interfere with pressing the "Home" button. It is almost impossible to do this through her. With an automatic 5S, you will have to press the power button on top of the device all the time.

In addition, it should be noted that in the absence of a router and Wi-Fi connection to the internet a prerequisite is the presence of a computer connected to the world wide web. At the same time, an important and indispensable condition is the presence of an installed on a PC or laptop latest version iTunes programs... Otherwise, the computer may simply not see the phone. After updating the program, it must be closed and then started again, otherwise the update error message will be constantly displayed on the screen.

It should be emphasized that you can familiarize yourself with the answers to the questions that arise and how to solve a variety of problems when you first launch the iPhone at official page Apple support by the address.

Steve Jobs, unlike most of his colleagues in the shop, was neither a programmer nor an engineer, which is why we see key Apple devices as it is - simple and convenient for the average user. Nevertheless, when buying the first apple device, most people still have some questions.

In this material, we focus on the priority setting and preparing iPhone to use without affecting various nuances associated with the hardware, jailbreak, cloud service iCloud etc. Probably, the list of actions below will allow beginners to avoid annoying (but fixable) mistakes.

Check if you bought a new iPhone

You need to buy an iPhone in brand stores Apple Store, Apple online stores or official resellers (you can find them). In this case, it is imperative to keep the sales receipt or receipt, which will avoid many problems in the future.

However, we do not live in an ideal world, most people still prefer to save money. In the case of the iPhone, this can be the purchase of a "gray" (imported bypassing customs), used or refurbished device. In all three cases, it is possible to purchase a smartphone relatively cheaply, indistinguishable from the one on display in the Apple Store, but there is also the risk of a failed purchase. We have repeatedly talked about the nuances of choosing and purchasing an iPhone in our materials:

How to activate and set up iPhone

When you turn it on for the first time iPhone device must go through activation on Apple servers and initial user configuration. This process should not cause any difficulties, but still we will describe it in as much detail as possible.

• Insert a working SIM card into iPhone. The "paper clip" for extracting the SIM card is in the box (on the spread of the cardboard), if you do not have a branded tool, you can use a paper clip, pin or needle;

• On the welcome screen, slide your finger across the words “ Customize" from left to right;
• Choose language;

• Indicate the region of residence;
• Connect to the existing Wi-Fi point(in the absence of it for iPhone activation have to connect to a computer with Internet access and installed application iTunes);
• If desired, enable geolocation services (you can later disable it in the settings);

• Enter your fingerprints into the Touch ID memory to use the scanner to log in to various services, app purchases, unlock iPhone etc.;
• Ask numeric password unlock the screen (in the parameters you can choose the number of characters - 4 or 6);

• Synchronize data from backups iTunes / iCloud or use a tool to export them from your Android device. If there is no such need, select "Set up as new iPhone";

• Enter your Apple ID and password. If you don't have Apple account ID and you are not going to make purchases in iTunes in the near future, DO NOT REGISTER IT ON THIS SCREEN! Press “ No Apple ID or forgot it", and then " Configure later in Settings" and " Do not use". Create an Apple ID without linking to a credit card (described in the next paragraph of this article);

• Accept Apple's terms and conditions;

• Activate virtual Siri assistant or select " Enable later«;

ON THIS TOPIC:

• If desired, send a diagnostic report to Apple;

• Select the display mode of interface elements in accordance with your vision and preferences;

• The activation and configuration process is over, you can start working.

How to create an Apple ID

The difference between Apple and many ecosystems is the clear binding of devices, rights, subscriptions, content and services to a specific user. That is, almost all actions (flashing a smartphone, installing applications, changing critically important settings etc.) is produced not by the abstract "Ivan Ivanov", but by a very specific person who is assigned a special identifier - Apple ID. Therefore, the creation of an appropriate account must be approached responsibly - use a trusted email address, come up with and remember a complex password and be sure to save. In addition to protective properties, various bumpers, cases, covers and films can also expand the functionality of the device.

Extending battery life

Users have been waiting for innovative power supplies for mobile devices for many, many years, however lithium ion batteries are still the most effective option in terms of price / quality ratio. However, despite all their advantages, such batteries have a very limited resource - with proper handling of the iPhone, the battery capacity will decrease by about 20% after 500 charging cycles, otherwise - by all 50%.

The modern smartphone differs from the first mobile phone like an automaton from a slingshot. Apple products are considered one of the best in terms of the use of advanced technology solutions. For this reason, every iPhone owner should know how to set up an iPhone, if he is not going to use it as a regular “dialer” at the level of Nokia 3310.

The basis of the entire "apple" ecosystem is the unique Apple ID identifier. The user creates it the first time they turn it on, when they set up a new iPhone from scratch. This requires a valid account Email... By configuring Control questions and specifying the date of birth, you get an Apple ID, which is used in the future to access all Apple services that require authorization.

In the future, this data can be used to restore the smartphone after a factory reset or to activate a new iPhone with data transfer. If in iOS 10 and earlier, all this had to be done manually, then in version 11 of the operating system, Apple introduced a quick start function.

The data transfer from the old device is performed automatically after you enter the account password. All actions are performed in Russian, which is selected at the initial stage, when you indicate the country of your current stay.

iCloud, App Store and iTunes Store

After the Apple ID has been set up, each user receives a permanent 5 GB of cloud storage iCloud and the ability to shop or download free apps from the store App Store... On older models, which include the iPhone 4 and 5, each such action will require a password.

Starting from 5S, the user can confirm his decision using a fingerprint. The scanner is built directly into the Home button and is installed on all iPhone 6, 7 and 8. In the iPhone X, the fingerprint sensor replaced the front sensor that performs 3D scanning of the user's face.

In addition to the application store, Apple ID gives the user access to iTunes Store, which contains a rich collection of music and films.

Purchased content is automatically synced across all devices using the same account.

Account setup

If for some iPhone reasons was not properly activated at startup, this misunderstanding can be corrected on an already working device. For example, a person may not have e-mail, therefore, it will not be possible to start an account right away. The steps below will help you add it to your iPhone at any time.

1. Open the settings and scroll down to find the marked item.

1. Go to the section for adding new accounts.

1. We need top line with the Aycloud lettering, surrounded by a frame. The rest on the list are for email setup.

1. Several possibilities are available to us here. In the fields marked with the number "1", you can enter the data of an existing account. The item marked with a two is intended to create new Apple ID. An arrow from the number "3" points to a section that allows you to restore a previously created account if you forgot your password.

Thus, using the appropriate item for the situation, we get access to Appstor and other cloud services.

Phone menu

Of course, no matter how technologically advanced a smartphone is, its main function has not yet been canceled. Below the item considered there is a whole block that allows you to configure the behavior of the iPhone during voice calls, activate video communication and the built-in iOS messenger.

Let's take a step-by-step look at all three boxed parameters.

Telephone

Voice call management is collected in one place. Below those visible in the screenshot are the menu items embedded in the SIM card. Services for everyone cellular operator different and few people use them. If you ever need them, you will know where to find them.

1. The subscriber number is indicated on the main tab at the top. At the bottom, the arrow marks a switch that allows you to automatically substitute prefixes when dialing a number. For Russia, this will accordingly be +7. Let's take a look at the top three items in the Calls menu that you might consider useful.

1. Here we can specify in which cases an incoming voice call will be identified by voice. For example, if you select "Headphones", then when a call comes in, the music will be interrupted and the iPhone will read who is calling by selecting their phonebook data.

1. Some programs, in this case the 2GIS map service, can access incoming calls to identify them. If you turn on the slider indicated by the arrow, a call from a company or store whose data is in the application database will be detected. The program logo and identification information will appear on the smartphone screen along with the phone number. Taken into the frame of the menu makes it possible to add any annoying contact to the "black list". In this case, the caller will constantly receive a busy signal and even an auto-dial will not help him to break through the blocking.

1. This step will come in handy for those who have multiple Apple products. Turning on the switch in the frame, we activate the "Continuity" function. At incoming call call forwarding will work to the devices selected from the list below. In this case, you can answer from your iPad or Mac without picking up your phone. Of course, all devices must work with the same account and be on the same Wi-Fi network.

Posts

Apple's mobile operating system has a built-in messenger called iMessage. For his job, just like for the rest similar programs, requires a connection to a wireless or cellular network data transmission.

1. The main window with the settings, first of all, suggests activating the Aimesage. By default, this feature is always disabled. The required switch is shown in the screenshot with an arrow. When activated, leaves paid sms to Apple servers, after which there will be no more charges. Messages are transmitted only between two iPhones. It is not possible to send iMessage to Android. The parameter marked with the number "1" allows the owner of the "apple" smartphone to stay in touch even without the Internet, transmitting the usual text messages... The item marked with a 2 opens another Continuity option.

1. Here, by moving the sliders, you can choose which devices will receive SMS besides the iPhone. To do this, again, you need to connect to the same Wi-Fi network.

1. Messages have a lot of settings, so let's go even lower on the main screen. The number "1" hides the setting of addresses for iMessage. The double denotes an option that regulates the storage period of text data.

1. Since iMessage works not only by number, but also by Apple ID, the user can determine which address should receive notifications. In the first paragraph, both options are selected, and in the second it is noted that the priority for identifying a subscriber will be the use of a telephone number.

1. The storage option allows you to delete old SMS after a month, a year, or store it in the smartphone's memory indefinitely. You need to be careful with this setting if you don't want to delete something important.

Even lower on the main window, a similar option is available for voice messages... The minimum period for them is limited to 2 minutes, and the maximum - one year.

For their Apple users implemented the ability to communicate via video using the Internet. The settings here are almost identical to those discussed for iMessage. At the top of the window, we see a slider that activates the service.

The call can be made with or without a camera. In the second case, only voice communication without the participation of a cellular operator. Another switch is indicated by an arrow at the bottom of the window. On the last iPhone models it makes it possible to take a photo of the subscriber in the process of video communication.

In terms of communication quality, FaceTime easily bypasses Skype, but this communication option will work only between Apple devices.

Keyboard

The development of the Internet and messengers has led to the fact that people write much more than communicate with their voice. Therefore, it is impossible to ignore the keyboard settings.

1. Let's open an empty iMessage... A similar setting can be done in any other messenger, but by default in new iPhone they are not installed. In the screenshot, there are frames around the mode switching areas, with the camera logo at the top. By clicking on it, you can send a selfie to your interlocutor. Nearby is the AppStore icon for messages. In the lower frame, pressing "123" switches the keyboard to the display mode of numbers and symbols, and to the "globe" - allows you to switch layouts and use emoji.

1. In the app store, you can install animated emoticons or connect integration with applications installed on your smartphone.

1. By clicking on the globe, we open the menu for selecting keyboards and their settings. To do this, you need to click the item indicated by the frame. The arrow indicates the display modes. At the moment, the keyboard is deployed to the entire bottom of the screen, but can be shifted to its right or left edge for ease of typing with one hand.

1. The settings menu contains a variety of options that make it easier to enter symbols and punctuation marks. By default, only Russian is set in accordance with the region of residence indicated at the initial stage.

1. Using the marked item, we correct the situation. You need to add at least English layout and a set of emoji included with the operating system.

basic settings

Most of the options are aimed at thin iPhone setup, concentrated in the group below the item "Basic". Let's go through this block from top to bottom to consider the main parameters.

Screen

The switch indicated by the arrow activates the adaptive display backlight function according to the ambient light. Above it is a slider for manually changing the brightness. With True Tone turned on, auto brightness starts, which previously had a separate control unit. Framed outlined night mode... In it, the tonality of the display changes from cold to warm shades. The switching time is determined by the system based on the user's geolocation data.

Wallpaper on iPhone can be set separately on the desktop and lock screen. V operating system there are already pre-installed ones, but if desired, the user can set his own pre-saved picture.

1. From the main settings window, open the item marked with a frame. He is alone here, so it is impossible to get confused.

1. The selection is available in three preset categories. Below are folders with photos located on the smartphone itself, a photo stream or an iCloud media library.

1. Having finished the selection, we get the following final menu. The numbers indicate the installation options.

An important element of personalization is the choice of sound scheme. You can meet people who have a default ringtone at every step and at times it is annoying. At the top of the screen, a frame indicates the items responsible for vibration. The optimal scheme is selected by switching the sliders.

The arrow indicates the volume control for calls and system alerts. Below it are the parameters of the sound scheme preinstalled in the operating system. A separate selection menu opens for each item. The sound of event reminders is selected only from the preset ones, and you can add a ringtone yourself.

This section contains settings related to personalization. Radio broadcasts can be turned on in the Music application, and song playback is tailored to the user's preference with typical equalizer schemes. Alarm clock melodies are also configured separately, to which you will wake up in the morning.

Activation of the Touch ID or fingerprint sensor is performed after entering the security iPhone code specified by the user. The settings block designated by one will activate the functions in which Touch ID will take part. In most cases, unlocking and contactless payment systems are chosen.

The rest of the items at initial setup are not so important. Looking in the "Battery" section, you can turn on the display of percentages next to the charge indicator. Siri and Search manages settings voice assistant and integrate it with search. Chatting with Siri on English language more productive than in Russian, so in our region it remains an interesting toy, and not a real assistant, as in America.
