Here are some tips to help you succeed with your iPhone.

Sync regularly

Think about it every time you add a contact or appointment to your iPhone. What if I lose data? Regularly synchronizing with your computer will help you safeguard your data, including your email, and protect it in case something goes wrong. Syncing only takes a few minutes, but converting files can take hours.

Stay productive

Need to view and edit a presentation or find a document on another computer? Business apps like LogMeIn Ignition for iPhone allow iPhone users to access remote computers and use them as if they were sitting in front of them.

Refer to Apple's website

Apple's website at www.apple.com/iphone/business/ is dedicated to iPhone services.

It includes apps like money transfer, budgeting, document management, and organizational tools to help you work efficiently on the go.

Supports battery power

If you're planning a long trip or a meeting, turn off Wi-Fi, lower the screen brightness, and turn off the keyboard sound to save battery power. Set your iPhone to automatically lock when idle.

Be careful

Simple security measures, such as activating a four digit iPhone passcode, can help protect sensitive data while reducing the risk of high costs if lost or stolen. Remember to turn off the device when not in hand.
