Apple continued its ongoing series of iPhone “how-to” videos on Saturday, with a handful of new uploads covering topics including camera features and Face ID, 9to5 Mac reports. The videos each come in at just 15 seconds, with each quickly covering a single feature of the iPhone.
Even as the iPhone remains largely familiar in its functionality with the same general interface that has been in place since it’s inception, there continues to be new features and small capabilities that may go unnoticed by the casual user.
The video series is good for a quick refresher of existing features or to clue users in to new ones as they roll out. Read on for the latest five.
