This review is for a review copy. The reason I mention this is that I literally had gotten home after buying the 6S and an hour later looked in my list of potential books I could request to review....and here this was. Big Brother at the phone store? Anyhow I clicked on accept to review this book and I'm so glad I did. The differences between the 4S/5S and the 6S are subtle, but can affect the efficiency of using the 6S.This book is for a visual learner and I like that there isn't a lot of copy muddying up a simple explanation. I generally don't sync with iTunes so I skipped that chapter and went straight to 2 about personalizing your iPhone. The pictures are comprehensive and easy to follow. Although you can personalize your phone by clicking on every icon in the settings yourself, this allows you to scan the settings and pick and choose the ones that are pertinent to whatever you want to do.Much of the book us simplistic and if you have had iPhones you probably don't need to read the whole thing, but the lovely advantage is you can easily page through the book without having to read a lot of verbiage and choose the bits and pieces that you will find helpful. For instance I didn't realize you could tighten up Safari's security, something I've worried about...and voila the explanation of how to do it is simple and easy to implement.I have never used the calendar feature of the iPhone, but decided with this one to do so. Easy to follow explanations and directions were extremely helpful in order to maximize your efficiency in using it and incorporating it in your life. There is also a nice explanation of the camera, its features, how to edit and enhance photos that I really appreciated since I upgraded the phone primarily for the camera!
