The Complete iPhone GuideBook – August 2020

If you have an iPhone or are thinking about getting one, this guidebook is a hands-on tour of what Apple’s smartphone can do. Written by the team at BDM Publications, the August 2020 edition focuses on iOS 13 and the iPhone models available at the time, from the iPhone 11 series to older devices still running the operating system.

Inside the Guide 📱

The publication walks through first-time setup, buttons, ports, Face ID, Touch ID, internet access, email, and phone calls, then moves on to the touchscreen, keyboard, and Control Centre. From there, dedicated sections cover nearly every built-in app:

• Mail, Safari, Messages, and Calendar for daily productivity
• Camera, Photos, and editing tools for getting better pictures
• Maps, Health, Wallet, and Activity for fitness and navigation
• Music, TV, Books, Podcasts, and News for entertainment
• FaceTime, Find My, iCloud Drive, Files, Siri, and Screen Time for connectivity and management

Practical Tips and Security 🔒

Beyond the basics, readers will find advice for speeding up an older iPhone, securing the device against hackers and online criminals, using Sign in with Apple, adjusting notifications, customising wallpaper and sounds, and organising or deleting apps. Each section is written to help you understand not just what a feature does, but why it matters in everyday use.

Who This Guide Is For

New iPhone owners will appreciate the step-by-step setup instructions, while existing users can use the app-by-app reference to discover features they may have missed. The content is clear and approachable, making it suitable for anyone who wants a practical, independent overview of iOS 13 and the iPhone. From unlocking Face ID for the first time to exploring advanced privacy settings, the guide offers a clear path through the iPhone experience.
