Top 6 Little Known iPhone 5 Tips and Tricks

While you buy an iPhone 5, it is necessary that you know about its full functionality and features so you can utilize the phone to its full potential. However, the manual of the iPhone does not provide you with some hidden facts and functionality features.

However, always make sure that you do not apply tips on the technical features of the iPhone. For example, if some tip says you can unscrew the iPhone of any part of its body to get an advantage in its features or enhance its speed; do not go for such kinds of tips. Only use certain tips that increase the capability of the phone without tearing it down. Some of the safer tips are as follows:

However, getting it out of its comma situation is very easy without harming the specs. Tap and hold down the home button. Simultaneously, tap the sleep/wake button. The phone will revive.
