Introduction
Precious few products ever come close to generating the kind of buzz
seen with the iPhone. Its messianic arrival received front-page treatment
in newspapers and top billing on network and cable TV shows. People
lined up days in advance just to ensure landing one of the first units. Years
from now, people will insist, “I was one of them.”
But we trust you didn’t pick up this book to read yet another account about
how the iPhone launch was an epochal event. We trust you did buy the book
to find out how to get the very most out of your remarkable new device.
Our goal is to deliver that information in a light and breezy fashion. We
expect you to have fun using your iPhone. We equally hope you have fun
spending time with us.
About This Book
Let’s get one thing out of the way right from the get-go. We think you’re pretty
darn smart for buying a For Dummies book. That says to us that you have the
confidence and intelligence to know what you don’t know. The For Dummies
franchise is built around the core notion that all of us feel insecure about certain
topics when tackling them for the first time, especially when those topics
have to do with technology.
As with most products coming out of Apple, the iPhone is beautifully
designed and intuitive to use. And though our editors may not want us to
reveal this dirty little secret (especially on the first page, for goodness sake),
the truth is you’ll get pretty far just by exploring the iPhone’s many functions
and features on your own, without the help of this or any other book.
Okay, now that we spilled the beans, let’s tell you why you shouldn’t run
back to the bookstore and request a refund. This book is chock-full of useful
tips, advice, and other nuggets that should make your iPhone experience all
the more pleasurable. So keep this book nearby and consult it often.
