First Steps with Your iPhone • Here we show you the iPhone’s basics, such as the various buttons and ports on your iPhone, setting up the iPhone out of the box, setting up your Internet connection and email accounts, using the virtual keyboard, touchscreen gestures, Control Centre, the lock screen and more.

Buttons & Ports • The latest iPhones have a very similar control layout. They all have Face ID, whether it’s in a notch or the iPhone 14 Pro’s new Dynamic Island, they all have a side button, volume controls and a Lightning port. And, of course, they all have an excellent Retina display. Sizes may vary, but whatever phone you have, the screen is amazing. Let’s take a look at your iPhone’s controls.

Getting Set Up • If you’re setting up your new iPhone straight out of the box, follow this guide as we take you through the extremely important first time setup.

Getting Online • The iPhone connects to the Internet automatically whenever you use the App Store, Mail, iTunes Store, Safari, YouTube or any other app that requires it. There are two ways of taking your iPhone online: via a Wi-Fi connection or a 3G/4G/5G mobile network. In this guide, we show you how to set up both, and also how to check your Wi-Fi signal strength.

Email Set-Up • Your iPhone’s Mail app can send and receive emails from all of your email accounts. It’s easy to set up and use with an iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, AOL or Outlook email address.
