Your iPhone setup continues. You get to determine whether you want to call on Siri, your loyal loquacious iPhone genie. We tell you all about Siri in Chapter 5, so we’ll skip the details here.

Apple would love for you to have your iPhone automatically send the company daily diagnostic and usage data, including your location. Armed with such information, Apple says it can better improve the company’s products and services. We think the request is harmless. You can also assist developers by permitting Apple to share with them crash data and statistics on how you use their apps. If you find either prospect unappealing, choose Don’t Send or Don’t Share, respectively.

Thanks to the generous screen real estate on current iPhones, Apple includes another step to the setup process: You can choose a zoomed view (with larger text and controls) or a standard view that fits more items on the screen. Don’t worry too much about this at this stage. You can always change the Display Zoom setting later in Settings. (If you do, you must restart your phone.)

Another custom option for models with the Home button lets you choose now or later (in Settings) how hard you must press the Home button to click it. Just tap the circled 1, 2, or 3 option on your screen and then press the Home button to give each selection a try. From then on, you’re good to go.

If you want to give your phone a quick nap, you can put it to sleep by pressing and quickly letting go of the side button. To turn the device completely off, press either volume button and hold down the side button (or the sleep/wake button) until a translucent Slide to Power Off button appears at the top of the screen. Drag the button to the right. Tap Cancel (X) if you change your mind. (Note other options here let you display a medical ID to show physicians or first responders if you become ill or injured, plus an emergency SOS feature to summon help.)

As noted, if you’ve been through much of this drill before and have another device running iOS 11 or later, you can simplify the setup process. Place your new iPhone next to your older iOS device. Next, point the old iPhone’s camera lens at the pattern on the new iPhone’s screen. After that is recognized, tap Continue on the older phone and follow the instructions to proceed. Keep the older iPhone nearby while the information is being transferred. Enter the passcode on the older phone when prompted.
