The iPad has been around for several years, but that doesn’t make it any easier to use. It doesn’t help that every year there are changes and features added to it. This book walks you through what you need to know step-by-step--including how navigation works now that the Home button is gone on some of the iPad Pros. It covers only what you need to know--so you don't have to comb through hundreds of pages of tech-speak just to find out how to do a common feature.This book is based on the book "iPadOS 13" but includes sections specifically for seniors (includ-ing accessibility features that make text easier to see).Are you ready to start enjoying your new iPad Pro? Then let’s get started!

iOS is dead! At least on the iPad. While the operating system obviously lives on in iPhones, 2019 is a big year for the iPad because Apple has released an update so big that it has a new name: iPadOS. The name change isn’t just a clever marketing tactic. It implies that iPads are more than just wimpy gadgets—they are computer power-horses that can run heavy apps and do the same kind of work you would do on a laptop or desktop.All that power means that you can run more than one app at once, so it should not be any sur-prise that most of the biggest updates to the OS center around multitasking (i.e. running more than one app) and helping you be more productive.This book is based off of iPad Pro models (the ones without a Home button); that doesn’t mean it’s not useful if your iPad has a Home button, but some features will work slightly differently.Ready to get started?

At some point most people have their credit card stolen; it used to be the old fashion way by a pickpocket. Todays' thieves are high-tech.

You can change your credit card number in seconds, and the card itself doesn't even have numbers on it! Just your name and a strip.If you have Apple Card, but want to know more about how it works, or you are considering buying it and want know before you do, then this short book will help you out.Before you read about the Apple Card, you'll need to know more about Apple Pay, and this book will cover that as well.Ready to get started?

If all you do is surf the Internet, shop online and check out social feeds, then you’ve probably wondered: why do I need a computer? An iPad can do all of that. If you want to casually use the Internet but still have the freedom to run powerful programs, then iPad Pro may be right for you. It packs the power of a computer into the body of a lightweight tablet. It’s the best of both worlds.This book walks you through what you need to know step-by-step--including how navigation works now that the Home button is gone on some of the iPad Pros.

Can an iPad really replace a computer? That’s the question a lot of people have been asking in re-cent years. Apple made that question a little more intri-guing with the iPad Pro—a tablet that is more pow-erful than many of the best computers on the market, and one that can run some of the most popular applications at lightning speed.In 2019, Apple again raised the stakes by replacing iOS on the iPad with iPadOS—an operating system unique to iPad that more closely resembles MacOS.This book will walk you through all the features that you should know. It’s for beginner users, but will also be helpful to users who know their way around the iPad.This book is based off of iPad Pro models (the ones without a Home button); that doesn’t mean it’s not useful if your iPad has a Home button, but some features will work slightly differently.Ready to get started?

There are plenty of books promising to be some kind of missing manu-al, but there is no missing manual! There is a manual! You can find it on Ap-ple’s website.There are also plenty of books that seem more like a commercial for the phone, merely showing the features, but not how to use them. This book is neither of those things.The goal of this book is to help you discover the features most people want to know about and show you how to use them.The guide is based on new iPhone’s that no longer have the Home but-ton (iPhone X and up), so if you are updating from an earlier advice, then this guide won’t be as useful to you.Are you ready to start enjoying your new iPhone?

PLEASE NOTE: This is the color edition of "The Ridiculously Simple Guide to Apple Watch Series 5." A B&W version is also available. Unlock the power of Apple Watch!The Apple Watch has, of course, been around for years and seen several updates. It's the latest updates, however, that have truly made the newest watches standout.From always-on displays to GPS navigation, Apple Watch has become more than a companion gadget to the iPhone; it's become a stand-alone device that is hard to live without.In addition to all the great features Apple Watch has always had, Series 4 introduced a slimmer body (yet with a screen that is somehow bigger), has optional cellular for making phone calls and streaming music without your phone, and drop detection (so if you fall and can't get up, the fire department is dispatched to your location). Everything about it was designed to motivate you to be more active.Series 5 has taken it a step further by adding one of the most asked for features: an always-on display. Something, it should be noted, it does without sacrificing battery.As amazing as all the new features are, it's not quite as easy to use as an iPhone; the lack of buttons, the smaller screen, and general UI can make a frustrating initial experience. The point of this book is to help new Apple Watch users (and users updating to WatchOS 6 from an older device) get the most out of their investment. This book covers the following topics: What's new in WatchOS 6. What's the difference between all of the different watches? What the Apple Watch Series 5 can (and can't) do. WatchOS gestures. Using Apple Pay from your Apple Watch. Finding, installing, updating, and removing apps from your Apple Watch. Using different Apple Watch features (such as SOS, Breathe, compass). Using different Apple Watch apps (such as Calendar, Reminders, Music). Getting driving directions with the Apple Watch. Using Siri on the Apple Watch. Changing watch Faces. Sending / receiving messages, emails, and phone calls from your Apple Watch. Doing a workout with the Apple Watch Series 5. Watch accessories. And much more!

PLEASE NOTE: This is the color edition. A B&W version is also avialble.Getting a new iPhone is exciting; it can almost feel like getting a new toy. Nobody likes a toy that makes you read a lengthy manual just to figure out how the darn thing works! If you’ve already had an iPhone (or maybe several), then chances are you already know how it works. But the newest iPhone might throw you a curveball because the Home button has been removed. I’ll help make sure you know how to use the shortcuts and gestures that go along with this transition. I will, of course, also cover all the new features added into iOS 13.This guide is formatted in a way to help you use your phone (and all its powerful features) as quickly as possible. I purposely have written this guide to be a little more casual and fun than what you expect from most iPhone manuals. The iPhone is a fun gadget, and any guide should be an equally fun read. Each chapter starts with bullet points on what will be covered, so if it’s something you already know, you can skip right ahead; if you only need to know how to use new features, the book is also formatted in a way that these stand out.Are you ready to start enjoying your new iPhone? Then let’s get started!

It used to be a few times a year Apple would take the stage and announce something that everyone's head exploded over! The iPhone! The iPad! The Apple Watch! The iPod!That still happens today, but Apple also is well aware of the reality: most people don't upgrade to new hardware every year. How does a company make money when that happens? In a word: services. In the past few years (especially in 2019) Apple announced several services-things people would opt into to pay for monthly. It was a way to continue making money even when people were not buying hardware.For it to work, Apple knew it had to be good. They couldn't just offer a subpar service and expect people to pay because it said Apple. It had to be good. And it is!This book will walk you through those services and show you how to get the most out of them.

In 2014, Apple announced something called CarPlay. At the time it wasn't met with much fanfare because to play it, you needed a radio in your car that most people didn't have. Today, many newer cars have it pre-installed; if you aren't one of the lucky ones, you can buy a compatible radio with CarPlay for less than $200-before installation.Whether you are thinking about getting it or you want to know how to use it, this book will help you out.This book is not endorsed by Apple and should be considered unofficial.
