iPhone 12 Tips and Tricks: An Illustrated Guide on How to Master iOS 14 and iPhone 12 Series (iPhone 12, Pro and Max)

From first-time setup to camera controls, calls and backups, iPhone 12 Tips and Tricks gathers practical directions for exploring the iPhone 12 family as it appeared with iOS 14. Jessica Peters arranges the material by task, making it easy to turn to a particular setting or feature when you need it.

The guide moves from getting connected and managing Apple ID and iCloud to personalizing the screen, using apps and handling everyday communication. It also includes a dedicated section on security and restoring your device.

Start with the essentials

Early chapters walk through charging, initial setup, cellular service, Wi-Fi and Apple ID and iCloud settings. These topics give new owners a route through the important first steps, while also serving as a handy reference when you need to revisit a setting.

Make daily iPhone tasks feel more familiar

Find instructions for adjusting wallpaper and display options, using Dark Mode, taking screenshots or screen recordings, and working with Picture in Picture. The book also covers widgets, Lock Screen features, Control Center, keyboard shortcuts, dictation, search, AirDrop and Back Tap.

Explore the camera, apps and connections

Photography topics include portraits, HDR and Live Photos, alongside an overview of the iPhone 12 cameras. Other sections cover receiving and avoiding unwanted calls, FaceTime, syncing with a computer, Calendar, alarms, timers, music and Siri.

A useful reference for the iPhone 12 generation

Organized into seven chapters, the guide spans setup, basic controls, common settings, apps, internet and calls, built-in apps, and security. It is focused on the iPhone 12, 12 mini, 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max, with instructions written for iOS 14; the software context matters because later iOS versions may use different menus or features.

For readers who want a task-by-task introduction to the original iPhone 12 lineup, this guide offers a broad tour of its settings and everyday functions.
