Save time by omitting the ‘WWW’ and ‘.com’ from the URL while using your iPhone to browse online. Just put the main address – anything before the .com – to navigate to the site you want. This may not sound like very much, but you’ll soon find that this can save you a great deal of time.

To get the most out of your iPhone, remember that Siri has a ton of unique options you can use, like location reminders. You don’t have to tell Siri to remind you to do an action at a specific time.

Because our schedules often change unexpectedly, this can be a nice way to stay organized.
