The iPhone 5 is full of hidden features and tricks that let users get more out of the iPhone 5 while they wait for iOS 7 to arrive.
Most people don’t know how to get the most out of the iPhone
5. With this list of iPhone 5 hidden features, users will learn how to do more
with the iPhone 5 without the need to buy any iPhone 5 accessories or
third-party apps.
For users who do want an accessory to do more with the
iPhone 5, we have a great list of iPhone 5
accessories and the best iPhone 5
car accessories, but everything on this list will work without
spending anything.
This list of iPhone 5 hidden features contains hard to find
features that most users won’t know about, rather than secret features that
users need a special code to unlock.
Users who want to do more, can jailbreak the iPhone 5 and
install our list of the best Cydia apps and tweaks to take the iPhone 5 hidden
features list to a new level.
Here are 15 of the lesser known iPhone 5 features we
discovered while using the iPhone 5 for the last six months. Many of these
features will also work on the iPhone 4S running iOS 6.
Take a Photo While Recording Video
The iPhone 5 lets users record video and take a photo
without stopping. This feature is only available on the iPhone 5, and it
doesn’t take a full resolution photo, but it is great for capturing a special
moment in video and photo.
While taking video, tap on the small camera icon in the
upper right.
The photos are 1920 x 1080, which is good enough for sharing
online or most prints for home, but if photos really matter it’s worth making
sure you are in photo only mode. This mode lets users take multiple
photos while shooting video on the iPhone 5.
Get Better Reception
Turn off 4G LTE to save battery life and get better coverage.
The iPhone 5 features LTE which delivers blazing fast
download speeds, but it can also cut battery life and in some situations leave
users with a phone that can’t connect. While traveling in New York, we turned
off LTE and went form no signal to full coverage in 3G.
The photos are 1920 x 1080, which is good enough for sharing
online or most prints for home, but if photos really matter it’s worth making
sure you are in photo only mode. This mode lets users take multiple
photos while shooting video on the iPhone 5.
Simply add a group to the whitelist and those callers go
right through as if Do Not Disturb mode wasn’t on. It’s worth noting that
this lets calls through, but not text messages.
Get an LED Alert for Calls and Texts
Use the iPhone 5 flash as an LED alert for calls and texts.
Former Android users may miss the LED alerts that let them
know a call or text is coming in. The iPhone 5 doesn’t add a notification LED,
but it is possible to use the
camera flash as an improvised notification alert.
Tap on Settings -> General -> Accessibility
-> LED Flash for Alerts -> On to enable this feature.
A word of warning, it is bright and may not fit in with your
sleeping habits or in a meeting, but in loud environments it’s the best way to
see a call or text on the iPhone.
