Top iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max Tips and Tricks

If you’re still on the fence whether to buy an iPhone 11 Pro, take a look at our previous coverage including detailed comparison guides and decision calculators.

1. Coming From An Older iPhone? Learn About The New Gestures

If the iPhone 11 Pro is your first iPhone without the Home button, you’ll need to spend some time getting used to the new gestures. But they’re quite easy to pick up and in no time, you’ll be like “Home button? Who?”.

2. Use The New Direct Transfer Method

If you’re using an iPhone with iOS 12.4 and higher, you can use the new direct transfer method for setting up your iPhone. When you come to the Transfer Your Data screen, tap on the Transfer From iPhone option to transfer the data wirelessly from your old iPhone.

This transfer happens on a device-to-device basis and doesn’t involve iCloud. So the transfer will be faster and you’ll find all your apps and photos in the same state.

3. Enable Dark Mode in iOS 13

You’re going to love the new dark mode in iOS 13. It instantly flips the color scheme, giving you a true back background and white text. Not only is it easy on the eyes, but it also helps with the battery life.

4. Learn About Haptic Touch

Apple has removed the 3D Touch feature from the new iPhone 11 Pro series. It’s now replaced by Haptic Touch. This means that you simply tap and hold on an object to reveal a contextual menu. Previously, you’d have to press harder on the screen.

This means that there’s a new way to rearrange apps. And previews work differently in Safari. But overall, this is a welcome change. Just try to tap and hold on a menu, link or app icon for more info.

5. Switch To Ultra Wide Camera

Tap on the 0.5x button to quickly switch to the ultra-wide sensor.
