5 Reasons That Make iPhone the Most User-Friendly Smartphone Ever
A plethora of gadgets and gizmos can be found in the mall or online. Sometimes, it can be quite overwhelming to think about what gadget to purchase. But one thing you should always consider is the device’s convenience and user-friendliness.
A user-friendly gadget is described as something easy to use and understand. Thanks to the mobile revolution, smart devices are getting more user-friendly as they can be your virtual assistant and even download useful apps in just one tap.
One of the most beloved gadgets is the iPhone. People are always excited every time Apple launches a product. The demand for pre-orders reaches millions and the latest iPhones are always sold out after only a few weeks upon release.
What Makes the iPhone User-Friendly
Undeniably, the iPhone is the easiest phone to use because of its consistent look and function. Despite its developments and updates every year, the iOS remains easy to learn.
Still not convinced? Here are five reasons why the iPhone leads the pack when it comes to user-friendliness.
1. Back Tap
A convenient way to access your apps or activate a task is by enabling the back tap feature. To do this, you only need to tap the back of your iPhone twice or thrice so you can open the Magnifier, perform a voice command for switch control, and enable other basic system actions and shortcuts.
2. Phone Flash for Notifications
You can set the LED flash for alerts through the settings. Select Accessibility, then click Audio/Visual and turn on Flash on Silent.
This feature is very helpful for people who usually overlook important notifications because they can’t feel the vibration from their bags or pockets or could barely hear any sound. But with the use of phone flash, you won’t have any issues of missing out on urgent messages, emails, or reminders.
3. Automatic Categorization
Some people might have plenty of mobile apps and getting them organized may seem like a daunting task. However, with iPhone, users won’t have messy and cluttered apps anymore because of the automatic categorization feature.
The automatic groupings of iPhone organize apps into categories such as Entertainment, Games, Productivity, Social, Utilities, Travel, Information and Readings, and Health and Fitness.
This feature can be found in the App Library which is a separate page on your home screen where you can search instantly any app and open it on your device.
4. Easy to Delete Long Messages
Sending text messages has been the best way to get in touch with the people you love or create connections between your colleagues and schoolmates. Moreover, texting is a great way to express yourself but sending long conversations can be quite annoying for some of us.
Therefore, if you find yourself in this kind of situation, iPhone can help you delete long messages by shaking your phone a little. Afterward, a pop-up message will appear to confirm this action.
This feature was introduced upon the release of the iPhone 7 in 2016.
5. Pinned Conversations
Another feature proving iPhone is user-friendly is its ability to pin messages or group chats. You don’t need to scroll along your message list to find your favorite conversations. You can pin up to nine conversations and it will automatically sync with the iOS, iPad, and macOS.
