Apple changed the world with the iPhone and iPad. But while Apple’s impeccable design and attention to detail makes using the devices easy, getting the very most from the software takes time and effort. iPad and iPhone Kung Fu picks up where instruction manuals finish and wastes no time turning you into an expert.
Whether it’s browsing the web with Safari, emailing with Mail, photographing with the Camera app, sharing on Facebook or Twitter, reading and learning with iBooks, or navigating with Maps, this book digs down into the nitty-gritty of the operating system and its apps. You’ll find the juiciest and most astonishing time-savers and labor-saving tricks for iOS 7.
But the iPad and iPhone aren’t just about content consumption. Learn tricks for using Apple’s iWork applications to edit and create documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. Find tips for using GarageBand to make tunes, and hints for how iMovie can create your latest blockbuster. You’ll discover the secrets of Apple’s iPhoto image editing app too.
This is the premier companion for your Apple adventure, and the only book you need.

This is a really great book. In fact, I’m recommending it to my dad! I have used an iPhone since the 3G version and am surprised I had so many things to learn!

iOS devices are awesome and amazingly intuitive, but I was surprised to find out how much I didn’t know. This book has tips and hints that take “It just works” to a whole different level.
