Iphone Online Courses Are Worth Your Time

By Evelyn Walls


The Internet has become a valuable resource for learning how to do just about anything. It is no surprise that you can use iPhone online courses to become an iPhone expert, or maybe you just want to know how to use the GPS. Apple does have some information on their website, but there are better resources. The older phone models had buttons to push and were easier to use. But they did not have one tenth the functionality of any smart phone. With so many functions it is impossible to have a button for everything. Learning how to use an iPhone, or some other smart phone, has become a fundamental part of every day life. No one should feel any shame about needing some extra help. Smart phones are not self explanatory.

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.

Log into the iTunes site to find several free tutorials. There are free videos to help you with the basics, and some will refer the user to more resources. These courses are brief, but you can learn a lot in a short bites of time.

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 seems to be the source of all knowledge these days. There are multiple tutorials available that will not cost you anything but a few minutes of your time. Users can pick and choose the topics of interest.

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.
