Unbox, charge, and identify every button on your iPhone
Set up Wi-Fi, Face ID, and your Apple Account without help
Make text bigger, brighter, and easier on your eyes

Charge wirelessly with MagSafe and care for your phone so it lasts for years
Whether the iPhone is for you, a parent, or a grandparent, this guide treats every reader like an adult who simply wants clear, patient answers not tap, swipe, done!" instructions that assume you already know the words.
