Indholdsfortegnelse for Fall 2022 i iPhone Life Magazine

Over the years, I’ve learned that a principle of house hunting applies to Apple events too—don’t fall for the sizzle features. Our CEO David Averbach taught me this. Whether it’s a new home or an iPhone, he said, you should look for the features that will improve your quality of life, not just catch your attention. Last time I was in the market for a home, I remember falling in love with the marble fireplace and towel heating racks installed in every bathroom. After moving in, I rarely warmed towels or lit fires, but instead found long-term satisfaction in the soft-close cabinets in the kitchen that stopped me from banging doors and the multi-zone thermostat that kept the upstairs and downstairs temps just right. Apple’s releases work much in the…

With the next generation of iPhones right around the corner, rumors are flying about what we will and won’t see in this upcoming batch. This September, we’ll likely see the unveiling of new iPhone 14 models, and here’s what the rumors say we should expect from them. GOODBYE TO THE MINI, HELLO TO THE MAX Leading the rumor pack is the belief that the iPhone mini’s brief reign is coming to an end. We can still expect to get four new iPhone models in 2022, but low sales will likely replace the mini with an alternative. Instead, we may see a new model of iPhone debut: the iPhone 14 Max. The Max will be a bigger version of the entry-level iPhone 14, said to come with a 6.7-inch screen, compared…

TOP HITS Sort Your Completed Tasks We all have a million things to do, it seems, and remembering to check completed items off a list is just as important as remembering to put it on. And while the Notes app is a great tool for productivity, having completed items scattered in with yet-to-dos can be a frustrating experience. To sort your Notes list so completed items are grouped at the bottom, just open Settings, go to Notes, tap Sort Checked Items, and select Automatically. Your completed items will move to the bottom of the list, and your uncompleted tasks will stay at the top. Learn about What’s in Your Photos iPhone photography offers some next-level possibilities, but there are also very practical uses for your photo collection. Say you want…

CAPTURE Get Dramatic with Cinematic Mode We all fell in love with Portrait mode when Apple launched it with the iPhone X, offering an artistic blurred background to photos of people and things. Now the iPhone 13 line comes with Cinematic Mode, which acts a lot like Portrait Mode, except it’s for video instead of photos. You can choose one or multiple subjects as the focus of your video and the rest of the video will be gently blurred. Just swipe through your menu at the bottom of your Camera app as you would for Portrait mode and select Cinematic. Once it’s in your Photos, tap Edit, then the Cinematic icon to tap different parts of the screen to change your focus. Enjoy a Panorama While no photograph can ever…

Location: Dallas, Texas Bio: Joshua Dennis is the co-owner of True Blue Leak Detection LLC and an international opera singer. He uses his iPhone in both endeavors, from booking leak repair appointments to reading fan mail. Square Appointments: Square Appointments makes it easy for me to schedule employees when I’m on the go (which is often, between traveling and having a two-year-old). As an opera singer, I also use it to take payments and schedule voice lessons. Apple Maps: When setting our technicians’ schedules, Apple Maps helps me route appointments so they are relatively close to each other. Instagram: I like adding pictures and videos to our business account of what we do and ways to help people. On my personal account, I share my opera performances and…

When Apple announced the 2022 iPad Air, there was much excitement among the iPhone Life team. The addition of an M1 chip brought it almost equal to the current iPad Pro in terms of performance, while still flaunting a more affordable price tag. Several of our writers jumped on the opportunity and purchased one of their own, and now the reviews are in. “I got the new iPad Air in purple with the Apple Pencil 2. From my side, I can use it throughout the day for iPad-related articles and tips. For my kids, after work they can use it to play games, create art, listen to music, and watch their shows. The price is extremely affordable considering all the features that don’t differ dramatically from last year’s iPad Pro.”…

SET YOUR AESTHETIC Protect Your Eyes with Night Shift Most of us are familiar with Light mode and Dark mode, but have you heard of Night Shift? Night Shift takes protecting your eyes in dim light one step further with warmer display colors in the evening. This helps reduce eye strain and can contribute to better sleep due to reduced blue light. You can enable Night Shift in Control Center by pressing and holding the screen brightness slider for an expanded menu or you can set up a schedule based on daylight hours by going to Settings, tapping Display & Brightness, Night Shift, and then toggling on Scheduled. Quickly Change Your Wallpaper Regularly changing your Home and Lock screen backgrounds is a great way to keep your iPhone engaging. I…

KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS Find Anything with Spotlight When I switched over to a Mac, the lack of a centralized Start menu threw me for a loop. I’d spend a long time scrolling through applications, trying to find what I was looking for. Then I discovered Spotlight, which lets users search their whole computer and the internet for an application, file, or keyword. To launch Spotlight, just press Command-Space, then type in your search query. Click your desired result in the menu below to launch it. Create Your Own Keyboard Shortcuts If you have a favorite app you launch regularly, you might want to create your own keyboard shortcut to launch it. To do this, click on the Apple Menu icon, then click System Preferences. Click Keyboard, then select the Shortcuts tab…
