Intuitive, my foot. And a tad dated, but good for history in the library.

Describing the usefulness of “iPhone 5 All-in-One for Dummies” would require a whole book. So, I’ll have to skip some details and assume that you’ve read other books in the Dummies series and are familiar with the introduction and navigation, which aligns with the Dummies style. Updating my phone to version 5, I am probably one of the last people to buy this book before iOS 7 came out. I just can't wait to see what this critter can do for me. Now the name matches the year as iOS26. This book really contains five books, as the title suggests, making it very thorough and affordable for the wealth of information. It includes plenty of colorful visuals with step-by-step instructions. For those in a hurry, you don't need to do what I did and read it from cover to cover, searching for something I never even considered. If you are a Siri user, all the information is there, but mixed with other functions; I recommend getting the Dummies book that specifically focuses on that if you want to learn more about Siri.
