iPhone/iPad Tips and Tricks

Ok I'll play.

1. If you don't mind checking your email by openning the mail app manually, turn off your push notifications in the settings. It's the number one waster of battery life as it sits there and checks your mail every couple minutes.

2. How often do you randomly find a screen shot of your phone in your camera roll? Happens all the time and most people don't know why.... simply hold down the home button then tap the sleep button and there you go. The screen will flash white breifly indicating you now have a screen shot.

3. This ones lame but pretty useful. Double tap the screen to zoom in and out rather than pinching.

4. When in text mode double tap the shift button to enable caplocks

I love the screenshot one.

I think this qualifies as a "trick".
Take a screenshot of your home screen or your actual phone dial screen.
Next time someone asks to use your phone, pull up the shot from your cameral roll and then hand them the phone.
Sit back and laugh as they hit keys that won't work.
