When you are scrolling down the screen viewing long list or web page on your iPhone, there is a quick way to return to the beginning. Instead of swiping over and over again to scroll back up, simply tap the bar at the top of your screen. This will take you back to the top of the page right away.

You can use an application on the iphone that shows you your pace during your run workouts. You can keep track of your pace with this application and determine if you are making any real progress or not. Try this application out and let it push you to get the most out of your workouts.

If you have Siri on your latest generation iphone, remember that you need to speak simply, clearly and slowly. If you speak too fast, in a deep accent or mumble your words, she won't be able to understand you, and you'll end up being frustrated. Try to learn the words that she recognizes easily so that you have an easier time using her.

You can learn to do so many things with your iPhone. Now that you know more tricks, you can use your phone to help you do things you may not have expected. Keep exploring and learn how to make your phone work best for you. Use the tips here to help you get started.
