When I was about to buy my first a couple of years ago iPhone 4s, then of course I was interested in everything related to this device. And before purchasing it, I asked many questions to Yandex, Google and my friends who already had it. I even wrote something down at that time.
And recently, while flipping through my notebook, I came across these entries and decided to save them on the blog.

You can try to make it yourself from your regular sim SIM card for iPhone, cutting it with scissors. But it’s better not to risk it, but simply contact your mobile operator’s service center and they will give you a new one. They charged me 50 rubles for this, and they also credited it to my account. After they give you a new one, the old SIM card will stop working.

2. What should I buy to protect my iPhone from scratches?

Personally, I immediately after iPhone purchases, purchased in the store protective film for him. A set of two films (for the front and back of the smartphone) cost me 400 rubles. The thing is that I didn’t want to immediately buy either a book case or a protective cover for the back wall for the iPhone. But if the smartphone is not protected in any way, then micro-scratches will appear on it very quickly (especially on the back side). That's why I bought a protective film, stuck it on and am happy.

Gluing the film is not at all difficult: just read the instructions for it (or watch a video on YouTube) and do everything slowly. If you are afraid that you won’t stick it carefully yourself and “there will be bubbles,” then you can turn to specialists (I was offered to do this right in the store for 200 rubles).

You can transfer a file from one iPhone to another using AirDrop technology. But both of these iPhones must be at least version 5 (so I’m flying with my 4s :)).

Please note that iPhone owners with an iPhone can transfer a file via Bluetooth to another smartphone (not iOS). Jailbreak. To do this, you will need to download a special extension in an alternative application store Cydia(like the App Store).

30. What is Jailbreak on iPhone?

Jailbreak (Jailbreak) is a software operation with mobile devices working under the operating room iOS system, which allows various software to access file system. In simple terms, Jailbreak gives you access to the system as an Administrator, not as a User.

You can do this operation yourself: the Internet is full of programs for iOS jailbreak and instructions for them.

The main advantage of jailbreaking is the ability to install third party applications, which Apple for some reason did not approve for downloading in the App Store.
After jailbreaking your iPhone automatically Cydia program will appear. This alternative store applications for iPhone - like the App Store. Just like in the App Store in Cydia you can download various applications(most of them are free).

Also, after jailbreaking, you will be able to download paid applications from the App Store for free.

Although jailbreaking is not an officially supported operation by Apple, it is not a violation of the company's copyrights. True, after the jailbreak procedure the device loses Apple warranty and is not subject to warranty repairs. But you can restore your iPhone to factory settings via iTunes program and no one will prove that you have ever jailbroken this device.

Be aware that if your iPhone is jailbroken and you decide to update iOS to the latest version, this will remove the jailbreak from your iPhone. Every time there is a firmware update for iPhone, you have to wait for some time for enthusiasts to release a new Jailbreak.

Is it necessary to jailbreak? Personally, I think that there is no particular need for this: only if for the sake of interest, just to “play around”. But I believe that Jailbreak can be harmful. Software, available in Cydia, unlike the App Store, is not tested for reliability and security, and therefore can damage your data on the device or cause it to become unstable.

The point is simple: being in standard application Camera Press the volume up or down buttons to take a photo. Want several shots in a row? – just hold down one of the buttons.

Regarding third-party applications, this function does not work everywhere. In, for example, you can only shoot using the volume up button.

Use Shortcuts to Send Emoji
