I won’t kid you: You’re about to encounter a slight learning curve if you’re coming from a more basic cellphone. (But if you’ve owned another smartphone, you have a good head start). For example, your previous phone might not have had a multi-touch screen and onscreen keyboard.

The good news is that getting anything done on the iPhone is simple, once you know the ropes. In fact, using your fingers to do things is an intuitive way to communicate with your computing device, which is just what the iPhone is.

In this chapter, you turn on your iPhone, register it, and then take your first look at the Home screen. You also practice using the onscreen keyboard, see how to interact with the touchscreen in various ways, get pointers on working with cameras, and get an overview of built-in applications (more commonly referred to as apps).

Although the iPhone’s screen has been treated to repel oils, you’re about to deposit a ton of fingerprints on your iPhone — one downside of a touchscreen device. So you'll need to clean the screen from time to time. A soft cloth, like the microfiber cloth you might use to clean eyeglasses, is usually all you’ll need to clean things up. Never use harsh chemicals.
