We have collected iPhone 10 features that you may not have known about. They will help you use and manage your smartphone more competently.
We previously wrote:
1. How to bring 10 out of its sleeping state
There is no button! What to do if your smartphone is “sleeping”? The answer is incredibly simple: just “tap” on the display and it lights up. It’s surprising why this feature, which has long been successfully used in Android gadgets, just applied to iPhone 10? Why isn't it on 7, 8 Plus? We can only guess.
However, there is a second option for getting tens out of sleep - you need to press the power button and raise the smartphone in front of you. The screen will light up, it will recognize your face (if the owner, of course) and blink happily at you.
2. How to quickly scroll through applications
Actually, we have already written about this, but we should also mention it as part of the “trick” article. To quickly switch between applications in iPhone X, just swipe at the bottom of the screen, from the left or right corner. At the same time, switching occurs simply with lightning speed. That's how it works.
3. How to see running applications
Previously, you had to press the "Home" button twice, but since there is no longer one, the new flagship uses a different method. To open the application manager, just hold down the bottom panel and swipe up, approximately to the center of the display.
This way you will see how the list appeared running programs and you can switch between them.
4. How to return to the home screen in iPhone 10?
Yes, it was good before - you pressed the button and you were already home, but now it’s gone, what can you do? There is a special gesture for this case too. All you need to do is hold down the bottom bar on your iPhone 10 display and swipe up. Return to home screen, this happens quite quickly.
5. How to open Control Panel and Action Center
To get to the control panel, you need to swipe your finger from upper right corner display down, and only that way, and not as before from bottom to top! The picture above shows this.
In turn, to open the notification center, you need to swipe your finger from top left corner down.
6. How to call Siri to account on iPhone X
To call Siri, just rub the right side of the iPhone 10 3 times! (joke) In fact, you just need to hold down the Power button and the assistant will immediately appear and be ready to answer right away.

A new feature has appeared that shows the battery status of the iPhone. With its help, you can check what percentage the current maximum battery capacity is from the original one. To do this, go to settings and open the “Battery” → “Battery Status” section.

4. Fixes camera exposure and focus
The smartphone does not always determine exposure and focus in the best possible way, which may cause pictures to appear too light/dark or blurry. But you can adjust the focus and exposure manually. Simply turn on the camera and hold your finger over the area you want to focus on. Then adjust the brightness of the photo using the slider. The settings will be saved even if you move the camera.
5. Takes photos by pressing buttons on the headset

Imagine a typical situation: you typed words and noticed a typo in them.

9. Instantly closes all tabs in Safari at once
If you actively use Safari, then you have encountered a cluster of a large number of open tabs. Closing them one by one is a thankless task.

The design of the device was very simple, the only thing that made it stand out was the image of an apple on the lid. The iPhone looks like a very popular player from Apple called “ iPod Touch" At that time, the 3.5-inch screen seemed very large, so the device attracted attention. It is very convenient to use because touch screen has increased sensitivity, and the device itself takes up very little space, so you can carry it in a small pocket.

What's the difference between iPhone 5 and iPhone 4s?
Firstly, they differ in appearance. The width of the new iPhone is approximately the same - 58.6 millimeters, but the length is slightly larger - 123.8 millimeters. The advantage of the iPhone 5 is that it is much thinner, its thickness is 7.6 millimeters. The weight of the device is also reduced, it weighs 20% less, namely 112 grams.Secondly, installed Retina display, which has a resolution of 640x1136 pixels. Of course, the new display is much better and thinner than the previous one, it reproduces colors better, and the image quality does not deteriorate in bright sunlight.
Thirdly, iPhone model 5 has 4G support, while the previous model had 3G support. Also, the processor of the new model is much more efficient. The graphics chip and processor are twice as powerful as the iPhone 4s. Very attractive new iPhone due to duration battery life. Of course, it remains at the same level, although the size of the smartphone has decreased significantly.
The camera of the new model remains the same - 8 megapixels, but options have appeared, for example, noise reduction, improved quality in twilight, and so on. You can even shoot video in FullHD – 1080p format, but the previous model had regular HD resolution. Front iPhone camera 5 records high-quality video at 720p resolution.
The new iPhone has its own 3D maps, but the previous model was equipped only with Google Maps. Also new model equipped with voice Siri assistant, of course, it was in the previous model, but in the fifth iPhone voice assistant has been updated to the new version.
Disadvantages of iPhone 5
The new cards from Apple are most often discussed, and many consider them to be a disadvantage. The maps of the US and other countries are very well designed, but the rest of the maps are poorly designed, so users cannot use them. Many Russian cities are not on the list at all, and instead of Kyiv they wrote the name - Kylv. Most houses and shops are not displayed correctly, but the streets are displayed. But the most unpleasant thing is that it is impossible to return to standard Google maps; they were even removed from the AppStore. But they left the Yandex navigator.After the update, the Siri function learned to distinguish between Korean, Japanese and even Chinese, but there is still no Russian on the list. Considering that Siri distinguishes between British, Canadian and American pronunciation, this is a significant drawback; users from Russia will not be able to use this function.
Many people condemn the iPhone for communication problems, for example, the fourth version did not work well cellular network, for example, if a person did not hold the smartphone well. After the update to iOS 6 occurred, complaints appeared about Wi-Fi connection. It later turned out that this is due to the fact that the person does not respond to the iCloud agreement.
Even though the display has increased to 4 inches, it does have its drawbacks. Applications that were relevant before launch with strange black bars across the entire screen that appear at the bottom and top. All this is due to the fact that applications are designed for a 3.5-inch display. It is quite possible that applications will be rewritten and take into account changes in screen sizes.
The new iPhone has a Lighting connector and this is a disadvantage because previous accessories for the iPhone have become irrelevant. They do not fit this connector, you will have to buy them again external batteries and cables. You also need to take into account that the fifth version accepts the latest SIM cards, which are called nano-SIM. Therefore, switching from the fourth iPhone to the fifth is very problematic; you will have to spend money not only on the smartphone itself, but also on many applications and gadgets for the Lighting connector. Further it turned out that using iPhone 5 without special protective cover"bumper" is almost impossible. The coating scratches very easily, including the display. Paint peels off quickly from aluminum, which spoils the exterior iPhone view 5.
Whether you buy an iPhone or not is up to you; if you want to make calls, it's enough to have a simple phone if you need additional features– it’s worth taking a closer look at the iPhone 5.
Finally, Apple released a new smaller iPhone model, and it seems to be less of a compromise than the iPhone 5c. Prices start from RUB 37,990. (and it's inexpensive compared to other iPhones), the phone feels like a 5s, and has almost the same hardware as a 6s. Everything seems to be simple. However, when it comes to choosing and purchasing a phone, you need to take into account a bunch of parameters, characteristics and features in order to understand whether a particular model actually meets your expectations. Let's see what it is.
1. The most powerful 4-inch smartphone
Over the past couple of years, we, perhaps, have not seen truly interesting compact smartphones. Sony released several models, but they were not good enough - they were always compromises.
The SE doesn't look like a compromise. It inherited almost all of its components from the current flagship, iPhone 6s: A9 processor, 2 GB RAM, Apple Pay, amazing 12MP camera, 4K videos, live photos and much more. The hardware performance of the iPhone SE should not raise any doubts.
For the first time in two years, a four-inch phone doesn't leave the impression that it's missing something. After all, SE is a Special Edition!
2. This is the beloved iPhone 5s
Compared to the curved and flowing shapes of the iPhone 6 and 6s, the design of the iPhone 5s was sharper, boxier and more angular. And even after two and a half years, it doesn't seem outdated. Fans of this model would even call it a classic. In addition, you can easily put this phone in your pocket or hold it with one hand!
SE looks almost like 5s. The only difference is that the edge of the phone is matte rather than shiny. Additionally, the Apple logo on the back is designed to match the color of the phone. Oh, and there's also a color scheme available. Rose Gold.
3. Slight differences
Everyone tends to compare the iPhone SE to the 6s rather than the 5s due to its similar configuration. But this is not quite a 6s in a smaller body, there are some minor differences.
