Finally, four icons at the bottom of the Home screen are in a special area known as the dock. When you switch Home screens (see Chapter 2), all the icons above the dock change. The four items on the dock, which follow, remain available on all Home screens:

 Phone: Lets you use the iPhone as a phone. What a concept!

 Safari: Opens Safari, your web browser. If you’re a Mac user, you know that already. If you’re a Windows user, Safari is kinda like Microsoft Edge only (much) better.

 Messages: Exchanges text messages (SMS) and multimedia messages (MMS) with almost any other cellphone user. The app also lets you exchange Apple-exclusive iMessages with anyone using any Apple device with iOS 5 or higher (iDevice) or a Mac running Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8) or higher, as described in Chapter 6. We’ve used a lot of mobile phones in our day, and this app is as good as it gets.

 Music: Unleashes all the audio power of an iPod right on your phone.

If the four apps on the dock aren’t the ones that you use most, move different apps to the dock, as described in Chapter 2.

Last, but certainly not least: Although you couldn’t delete preinstalled apps in many previous iOS releases, you can delete some of them in iOS 15. See Chapter 15 for details.

Okay, then. Now that you and your iPhone have been properly introduced, it’s time to turn it on and actually use it. Onward!
