Apple Tips & Tricks
Every new version of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS adds features – and hides many of them so well that even long-time Apple users miss them. On top of that come everyday problems: backups failing, AirDrop refusing to work, Wi-Fi passwords disappearing.
This is where step-by-step guides for exactly those moments live: from setting up a new iPhone to transferring data to uncovering hidden features in iOS and macOS. Every guide is verified against the current version – so the steps are correct when you actually need them.
Topics range from basics for newcomers to specialized features for power users: setting up iCloud properly, pairing an Apple Watch with an iPhone, using Focus modes effectively, resetting old devices for resale. When problems come up, the solution isn't just shown – it's also explained why something goes wrong, so the same issue can be solved independently next time.
