Your iPhone can do all sorts of magical things that you probably arent aware of. Heres a list of some of the iPhones coolest hidden features: 1. Shake to undo Make a mistake while typing or editing a picture? No worries! Just give your phone a little shake—like youre making a martini... 2. Recharge your battery faster by switching to airplane mode. Switching to airplane mode turns off battery-draining wireless and cellular access, allowing your phone to recharge up to twice as fast. 3. Get Siri to read your emails aloud for you. If you like, you can tell her to read only your most recent email (“Read my latest email”) or just those from a specific contact (“Do I have email from Mark?”). 4. Find out which planes are flying overhead. 5.Teach Siri how to pronounce words. Whenever Siri mispronounces something, just tell her, Thats not how you pronounce [BLANK] and shell offer you alternatives. You can then select the best one. 6. Automatically turn off your music with the timer. 7.Take a photo with the volume buttons. 8.Take multiple photo bursts all at once. If you hold down the capture button, your phone will take a series of rapid shots, or bursts, in quick succession. This is especially useful if youre photographing a moving subject. Later you can scan through all the bursts and pick your favorite ones. 9.Make your iPhone speak selected text. First you have to enable Speak Selection. To do that go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Speak Selection and turn it on. A Speak button will now appear whenever you select text. Bonus: you can also choose different accents (would you prefer an Aussie iPhone?) and even control the speed at which selected text is spoken. Trust me, you can waste a lot of time with this one. 10. Lock autofocus and exposure while taking a picture. It can get annoying when when youre trying to take a picture and your iPhone camera keeps refocusing and automatically adjusting the exposure. But you can lock in the focus and exposure by pressing and holding your finger on the screen until you see a yellow square blink twice. A yellow icon that says “AE/AF Lock will appear at the bottom of the screen letting you know that youve locked in the exposure and focus. Itll stay that way until youre done with the shot.
