Speaker 1 (00:04):
Reviews are in for one hundred and one Handy Tech
Tips for the iPhone, and they're pretty good.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
What's going on.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
I'm Rich Damiro. This is Rich on Tech. Many of
you have picked up my book already, one hundred and
one Handy Tech Tips for the iPhone. Thanks so much
for that. I'm getting the reviews in, I'm getting the
emails in. They're all pretty positive. So I do like that,
except for the fact that many of you want a
paperback that is noted for the next version of the book.
But until then, please enjoy this interview with Bill Handle
of KFI AM six forty where we discuss my new book, Rich.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Tomorrow of KTLA and it's talking tech. Rich good morning
and thanks for joining us.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Hey, good morning to you. Bill.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Thanks for having me, of course as well, you should
thank me. Okay, now let's talk about your book. You
wrote a book which is kind of neat and it's
perfect for me, one hundred and one iPhone Tips. Now,
before we get into just getting some of the big ones,
there are apps and what phones can do that no
(01:05):
one has ever heard of. They're extraordinary. I, for example,
I have an iPhone and I can barely spell iPhone
and it is extraordinary. So one hundred and one phone
iPhone Tips, and I'm willing to bat you had to
winnow down to one hundred and one.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Oh absolutely, So you know, the idea behind the book
was we have these phones in our pockets, we barely
brush the surface of what they can do with them.
So most people know how to send a text, they
know how to take a picture, but that's really it.
You know, send an email. But there are so many
features built into this phone, and that's the beauty of
the book. Nothing requires an extra app, nothing requires any
(01:42):
additional software other than what's built into the iPhone. And
again the book is one hundred and one and detech
tips for the iPhone. It's all about the handy stuff
that I just think you should know about. It's not
everything you can do with the phone, but it's just okay.
Tip number five turn your phone into a magnifying glass.
So if you go into Settings General Accessibility, there's a
function called magnifier and then anywhere you are, all you
(02:06):
have to do is press the home button or the
side button on your phone three times fast, and now
your iPhone turns into a magnifying glass. You can use
it for menus. I've shared that on TV. People love
that tip that's in the book.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Now does that connect with a.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Light, Yes, you can have a light on there as well.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Oh, at the same time you're doing the magnifier. So
it's for example, if you are if you have an
an issue with your site with menus and it's dark,
you can actually light it up and magnify absolutely.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
And I'll have to give you another tip. Let's say
you don't need the magnifier. You just want to use
the flashlight in the restaurant, like a lot of people do. Yes,
did you know that you can actually change the brightness
of the flashlight on the iPhone? So you can go
twenty five percent fifty seventy five one hundred just by
hard pressing on the icon instead of you know, just
tapping at once. You have to go into control center,
(02:56):
which I teach you how to do. But again, if
you're in a darkly restaurant, you don't need one hundred
percent brightness on the flashlight. I always see the people
using that. It's like, oh, come on, you're blinding us.
All I can teach you that. Let's see, did you
know that there's a hidden level built into the iPhone.
I use this to mount the pictures in my house.
You can go around and turn your compass. So everyone's
(03:18):
used the compass on your iPhone, right, Well, if you
swipe on the compass, it actually turns into a level
and you can use it to level things. That's tip
number sixteen.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Hey, I have a I have a question regarding all
of these phones. Does any single person know everything about
the phone where they know all the apps and everything
you can do?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
No? No, not even me. I mean so even when
I was researching this book, you know, So what I
did was for about six months, I just any email
question I got, I kind of like take that and
into consideration. I went through all the apps, kind of
thinking about the things that I do on them, kind
of took a deep dive into what these apps do,
and I picked the things that are kind of a
little bit you know, necessary, but off the you know,
(04:02):
off the normal track. So it's the stuff that you
need to know about, but you might not necessarily think
to do, Like how to scan a document. So a
lot of people think you need a third party app
to scan a document with your iPhone, but the feature
is actually built right in so is the ability to
sign a document. Your iPhone can actually store a signature
and you can drag and drop that onto a document
(04:22):
and then email it out as a PDF. And that's
all inside the notes app. And I tested that on
several people and said, hey, do you know how to
scan a document with your iPhone? No? Not really, I'll
just take a picture of it.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
So Rich, where do you find these the ability of
these phones? I mean, do you call up Apple? Do
they have a book the size of a phone book?
If you know what a phone book goes out there?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
So it's it's just discovering what it is exactly. It's
discovering it. And that's the thing. The iPhone does not
come with a user guide. This book is not a
user guide. It's more of a here are the things
that I think you should know because you just you
can browse the book. You can look through it and
you learn and you say and you just keep it
in the back of your head and you say, oh, interesting,
(05:04):
if I need to remember where I parked, my phone
can do that. Your phone can do all kinds of stuff.
Those Wi Fi pop ups you see on the people's
phones all the time, and looking at their screen next
thing you know says, hey, do you want to join
this Wi fi network? Nobody ever takes the time to
turn it off. In Tip number thirty one, I tell
you how to do that. You and I we wake
up pretty early. Normally people are using the normal iPhone
(05:25):
alarm to wake up. It's blaring, it's right in your face.
I tell you how to set a gradual alarm using
the bedtime feature. That's Tip number fifty seven.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
What is that bit? We only have a second to go.
What is the weirdest of the one hundred and one tips.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Oh, my gosh, significant locations. This is a map of
all of the places that you go to the most.
And if you were in a relationship where someone suspected
something of you, this is the first place they would check.
And I tell you how to check that. And it's
tip number thirty five. And again, it's all in the
book one hundred and one Handy Tech Tips for the
iPhone on my website, rich on tech dot tv. You
(06:01):
can order it on Amazon. I find I'm getting a
lot of feedback from the book. People that even know
the iPhone are saying, Rich, I gotta hand it to you.
You taught me some stuff I did not know.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
All right, So, Rich, we just been an entire segment
hooring your book. Yeah, and uh, you know you owe
me one big time.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
You know that don't really appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
That's okay, one hundred and one Tips for the iPhone
iPhone Tips and it's available on Amazon. And uh, Rich,
