Your iPhone 4S is pretty easy to command — a tap here, a swipe there, and you’re on your way. However, you can use the “hidden” commands on your iPhone to do things faster and easier. These shortcuts, iPhone-related websites, navigational tips, and pointers on how to use Siri can help you get the most from your iPhone right away.

The Different Uses of the iPhone 4S Home Button
Dorothy clicked her red-sequined heels three times to go home. You need only press the Home button to get to the iPhone 4S’s Home screen. Pressing the Home button twice performs a couple functions, depending on where you start from:
When iPhone is sleeping: Press the Home button twice quickly to reveal the Camera button and the playback controls.
When iPhone is awake: Press the Home button twice quickly to reveal the multitasking bar. Slide the multitasking bar to the right to reveal the Orientation Lock button and playback controls.
Pressing the Home button once has four results, depending on your point of departure:
When iPhone is sleeping: Press the Home button once to wake your iPhone, and then slide the slider to unlock it.
From the first Home screen: Press the Home button once to open Spotlight Search.
From any Home screen that isn’t the first one: Press the Home button once to return to the first Home screen.
From an app: Press the Home button once to return to the Home screen that was most recently viewed. The app remains running in the background until you close it from the multitasking bar.

Tapping and Holding Buttons and Icons on Your iPhone 4S
On your iPhone 4S, if you want to open an app, fill in a text field, or choose a command such as Print or Message, you tap the appropriate icon, field, or button. The tap and hold gesture opens another world of commands on your iPhone:
Text or image: Tap and hold any text or image to see the Select/Select All/Cut/Copy/Paste bar. Tap one of those tabs to perform that function.
123 key: Tap this key, slide your finger to the punctuation you want, and then let go. The punctuation is inserted in your text and the keyboard returns to letters.
Any icon on the Home screen: Tap and hold these icons until they begin to wiggle and jiggle. Then tap the X in the corner to delete the app from your iPhone or tap and drag them to a new position.
Any app icon in the multitasking bar (which you open by pressing the Home key twice quickly): Tap and hold one of these icons until you see an X in the corner. Then tap the X to completely close the app. This is very useful if your iPhone starts acting up and you remember you have a streaming app such as a radio program running.

Tips on Using Siri in iPhone 4S
The newest feature to be added to iOS and found only on the iPhone 4S, Siri can do some pretty surprising things. You can phrase the command for the same task in several ways; for example, you can ask “What time is it?” or “Tell me the time.” These are some examples of the kinds of commands you can use to communicate with Siri:
"Call Barbara Boyd."
"What is Joe Hutsko’s address?"
"Will it be hot in Bangkok on Thursday?"
"Please schedule a meeting with John Wiley for February 5 at 10 a.m."
"Read my text messages."
"Send a text message to my sister telling her my plane gets in at 4 p.m."
"Play Barton Hollow."
"What’s the quickest way from home to the Longwood Gardens?"
"Set the timer for 45 minutes."
"Remind me to call the dentist at 11 a.m."
"What is the dollar-euro exchange rate?"
"Search for Valentine’s Day cake recipes."
"Add Michel Peissel to my reading list note."
