To close one down, just flick up on the preview display that shows what the app is currently up to. This shows a scrollable row of all the apps currently ‘parked’ in stasis on your phone. To use the iPhone 5S’s quick app switching mode, quickly double-tap the home button to bring up the multitasking menu. Use wallpapers the same size as the phone’s screen and there will be no parallax effect at all. The resolution to use for your iPhone 5S wallpapers is 1,536 x 1,040 pixels, in order to get the full parallax effect. However, this also means that you can’t simply make an image the size of the iPhone 5S’s screen and expect it to work well as a wallpaper. IOS 7 can use parallax wallpapers, images that scroll a little as you flick between home screens. If you don’t want to hide the look of the phone, and don’t want to spend a load of cash, we recommend a simple polycarbonate (plastic) crystal case that covers the back and sides of your iPhone 5S, and will absorb any impact damage – and avoid cracked screens. They have aluminium bodies – aluminium isn’t a particularly hard metal, and is therefore quite prone to scratches. We find this more in the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5 than previous versions, because of what these phones are made of. ![]() The best type of iPhone 5S case to use is one that covers just about every part of the phone, apart from the screen. ![]() To switch this on, go to Settings > General > Accessibility, then scroll down to the Hearing header, under which you’ll find an ‘LED flash for alerts’ mode slider. However, you can use the camera LED as a notification tool, making it flash when you get a new text message, email and so on. If you’ve come to an iPhone 5S from an Android phone, one thing you might miss is a notification light. Of course, Siri is still a virtual being whose voice synthesiser doesn’t have the sophistication of a human voice box. Siri will then give you a bunch of different ways it can say the name, letting you choose the closest to the real thing. You do so by literally telling Siri “that’s not how you pronounce ”. If Siri mis-pronounces a name, you can correct it. You don’t just get smileys either, but all sorts of little graphics including animals, symbols, flags and numbers. Just go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards > Add New Keyboard > Emoji to get your iPhone 5S rammed full of cute keyboard characters. You can easily bung it into the standard iPhone keyboard from within the Settings menu. Perhaps Apple just wanted to keep things simple and stylish-looking, but we think it’s something the majority of iPhone users would find useful. One of the odd things left out of the iPhone 5S is the emoticon menu in the keyboard. The limitation is that no audio is captured in slo-mo mode. It’s the best way to capture fast action, or just toddlers tearing around the house, so try it out. However, we find it’s a mode few people make much use of. It records footage at 120fps in 720p resolution.įinding it is very easy – just flick right to left on the screen of the video part of the camera app until you hit the slow motion mode. Our favourite video feature of the iPhone 5S is the slo-mo mode. It makes using the iPhone as a photographic tool feel a lot more like using a compact camera. But there is another way.Īs standard, you can use the iPhone 5S’s ‘up’ volume key as a shutter button when in the camera app. Most people use the iPhone 5S’s touchscreen as the way to take photos. Use the volume up key as a shutter button We find it the perfect antidote to a packed, not-entirely-organised app collection. ![]() Then just tap in your search term and you’re away. To bring up the search bar, just drag downwards on a home screen – but not the very top of the screen, as that brings up the notifications bar. Tap a term into the universal search bar and the iPhone 5S will search through your apps, emails, contacts, calendar entries and your media library – more or less everything on your phone. We’ve uncovered a few of the extras we think you should know about.Ī great but little-used feature of the iPhone 5S is universal search (aka Spotlight). To keep it as simple for technophobes, Apple has had to carefully hide away a few of the things it can do. However, it has bags more features than the early iPhones.
