For the last week or so on Twitter, I've suddenly seen a lot of folks talking about how cool it is that you can easily move the cursor around the screen on an iPhone when you want to go back and change some text. I've even had several folks email me to make sure that I know about the tip. (Thanks!) To use this feature, just hold down on the space bar for a second, and then the keyboard changes to a trackpad. Or, if you have an iPhone which supports 3D Touch, you can instead push down a little on the keyboard to switch to the trackpad. It's a very useful tip and I use it all the time, but I'm still not sure what made the tip go viral last week.
One good part about that tip going viral is that it prompted lots of other folks to suggest some other iPhone and iPad tips that might not be so obvious but are quite useful. Here are two of the best that I recommend to you. Perhaps you already know about some of the tips, but you probably don't know all of them. First, if you want to read some tips, check out 9 Hidden iPhone Features That Make Your Life Easier by Jason Snell on Tom's Guide. Great stuff. Second, if you prefer to just sit back and watch to learn some tips, check out this very useful video by Rene Ritchie, part of his Vector video podcast:
