Iphone Online Courses Are Worth Your Time

By Evelyn Walls


There are various resources for learning how to use your new iPhone. The one that suits you best depends on your level of interest. If you only intend to use the basic features of the phone there are free tutorials on the internet. The Apple website has some tutorials that tend to tell you what the phone can do with little instruction on how to do it. If you thought the iPhone 5 was mysterious, you will be blown away by the iPhone 6 with its 3D technology. Whether you buy iPhone online courses or access some free ones on the internet, most people over the age of thirty will need some assistance.

An Internet search with your web browser will provide you with links to sites that offer free courses. One website provides the user nineteen tutorials. You can select the ones of interest to you and by pass some of the others. At the end the site has a quiz so you can test yourself on how much you learned and retake the courses as needed. You will be able to use your iPod, iPad or phone to access the courses, which are clearly presented and easy to follow.

Go to iTunes on your phone or on your computer, and there are eleven free tutorials. These are free videos and can be very helpful for most of the basics. Some of the tutorials will lead the user to more tutorials. New users can learn a lot from these short courses.

The online Apple store has some free support organized by categories. Transferring data from an old phone to a new one, settings and backup are some of the topics covered. This is a good place to make sure that you are backing up to the iCloud. If you lose or damage your iPhone this is a lifesaver.

There are paid tutorials online which usually have a free trial period for ten days. Thereafter the charge is around thirty five dollars monthly. They encourage users to buy an annual subscription. Unless this is a service that you intend to use often for a long period of time, the free ten days or one month should be sufficient. It does not make sense to pay more than three hundred dollars for just a few days or weeks of usage.

YouTube is another free resource. There are many online video tutorials for just about anything you need to know about your iPhone. It is easy to simply choose the ones that are of interest to you and move onto the next video when you are ready.

Never far behind and usually ahead of the curve, Google Chrome offers many similar tutorials. Users can compare and contrast to decide which they prefer. There is a lot to know about what these phones can do, and most of the information is available for free.

iPhone owners can devote as much or as little time online as they choose for learning how to use their phone. For some just the basics is all they need, others want to use all the functions to their fullest extent. Take it slow and focus on specific items one at a time. Unless all you want to do is make a phone call, you will not be able to learn everything in one day.
