Welcome to “Introduction to Mobile Devices: iOS.” After watching this video, you will be able to: Explain why companies support iOS devices. Describe iOS setup essentials, including Siri, Apple’s assistant. Identify iOS screen types and navigation. Explain how to adjust frequently modified settings. And describe how to locate essential operating system and hardware information. Apple , who owns iOS, provides: A track record of security. Extensive data privacy practices. Interoperability with Apple desktops, laptops, and tablets. User satisfaction with the operating system. Extensive app availability. Extended employee availability, and corporate device controls. Before you begin setting up an iOS device, plan ahead and have the following items ready: • Wi-Fi access • The sim card, if needed • The existing Apple ID, if available • A debit or credit card, • And the prior device, if migrating apps and data. After you press the Start or Power button, you’ll choose the language and click “Let’s go.” Select your location and then, connect to a Wi-Fi network, accept the Data Privacy agreement and then set up security, such as facial recognition, a password, or a PIN, and select whether to migrate apps and data. Next, you’ll sign in with an existing Apple ID and password or create a new account. Then, set up iCloud storage, the keychain, and accept Apple’s terms and conditions. Next, decide whether to set up Apple’s assistant, Siri, and whether to share app analytics. Then, you'll configure screen display options to reduce blue screens at night, and finally, choose a standard or zoomed screen view. Now, let’s check out the iOS device screens on an iPhone. With your iPhone set up, swipe up and display the Home screen. Swipe right to display the leftmost screen known as the Today View. Then swipe left until you see the final screen, showing the App Library. Wherever you see an app such as the Calendar app shown here on the Home screen, you can tap to launch the app. By default, the Settings app is located on the Home screen. With more than 50 categories, the Settings app is the central location for customizing your iOS device. You’ll also find additional application-specific settings for App Store installed items. When you’re ready to activate cellular service, within Settings, tap Cellular. On the Add Cellular Plan screen, scan the QR code provided by your carrier or tap Enter Details Manually to type the setup information provided by the carrier. Tap Next to continue the setup process. To adjust how you see notifications, within Settings, tap Notifications. Choose whether you will see notifications on a schedule, see notification previews, and see notifications when screen sharing. Also, decide which apps can suggest shortcuts when the screen is locked. For iOS devices, you'll get apps from Apple’s App Store. By default, you’ll usually see the App Store displayed on the Home screen. Tap the App Store to view available apps by category or search for a specific app. And when you locate your app, tap Get to download and install the app. Connecting to Wi-Fi networks usually saves on mobile network charges and could be workplace policy. Within Settings, tap Wi-Fi, view the available networks and tap the network name or tap Other to enter network details and connect to a network that’s not visible. Next, on the Enter Password screen, enter the password in its field and tap Next or Join, as displayed. Siri, Apple’s digital assistant, works with voice and keyboard input. Siri is compatible with Apple HomeKit and integrates with other iOS and macOS devices. You can adjust Siri’s settings at any time. To use Siri, you can say “ Hey, Siri,” or you can press and hold the button on the right side of the phone to speak your request to Siri. Accessibility is built into iOS with currently more than 20 accessibility categories and the ability to add apps and customize per app, or individual app settings. Users frequently customize the on-screen display and brightness. Within Display & Brightness, you can adjust the screen display from light to dark, change the light tone from blue to yellow, schedule display changes, change the text size, and more. Let’s check out important device information you’ll need to know. Within Settings, tap General and then tap About. You first see the device name, which you can edit. Then you’ll see the current iOS operating system, device model name, device model number, and the device’s serial number. Scroll to view the system storage capacity and available storage capacity. Then, you can see the device’s current Wi-Fi address, Bluetooth address, and Modern Firmware version. The “SEID” is the Secure Element Identifier, a near-frequency communication chip. Next is the “ EID" which is the acronym for the electronic sim card. Not all iPhones have an electronic sim card. Scroll again to find out if the device is locked to a specific cellular carrier. Then, see who the current cellular carrier is and view the following identifiers First is the IMEI, a unique 15-digit number assigned to every cellular device. IMEI numbers are internationally registered. Next is the ICCID, the identifier associated with the SIM card. And the MEID is a 14-digit PIN code assigned specifically to mobile devices. For example, an IoT device might have an IMEI, such as an electric meter, but since it’s not a mobile device, the meter won’t have an MEID. And finally, some phones may have a second IMEI2 slot. This second IMEI enables iPhone users to keep one cellular plan for business and a separate personal plan on the same phone or use a local carrier when traveling internationally. You can set iOS to automatically check for, download, and install operating system updates. Within Settings, tap General and Software Update. Set Automatic updates to On. When Apple releases a new iOS version, you’ll see a message providing you the opportunity to upgrade. In this video, you learned that: Organizations appreciates Apple’s security, data privacy practices and seamless interoperability with other iOS and Mac devices. The Settings app is where you can adjust iOS settings and check storage and performance-related information. The three main iOS device screen names are the Home screen, the Today View, and the App Library. Siri, Apple’s digital assistant, works with both voice and keyboard input. And the About settings page provides device, communication, and cellular identifying information.
