We've passed the midway point of 2012 and as far as Computers are concerned a lot has been taking place.

Steve's remarks came shortly after the release of the iPhone in 2007. 


Apple's iPhone has gone through 5 major versions over the past 7 years compared to numerous different phones released by competitors. The iOS system has a significant market share and others including Microsoft and their fledgling Windows Mobile are desperately trying to make up lost ground to the World's most valuable company.


Owing to the domineering presence of iOS we thought our guide below would be of help to you by revealing a few tips we encountered along the way.
