Found this out couple weeks ago. Double click then swipe twice to the right and there's a volume bar.

I know people have different priorities but come on, how long does it take to learn about your new iPhone, the new TV you just picked up, your new car you just bought ect ect?
However I do understand some of your frustration, as a professional photographer I get a lot of questions from people about their cameras that would easily be answered by reading the manual. It's the first thing I do whenever I buy new, unfamiliar equipment. But as we all know, Apple does not include a detailed manual. I think my new toaster had more instructions included. If there is one available online somewhere, please point the way.
I have had my phone for almost 4 days, though I discovered the NC yesterday, so I guess that is how long..
I did not start this thread to enlighten people on my new "new discovery" as you indicated in your first post. I just wanted to find out what it was called so I could locate it in Settings and customize it if possible and to see if there was any other cool features I might be missing.
Since you're so fond of reading, perhaps you should re-read my OP and some of the follow ups, as Caliber said, I upgraded from a first gen iphone which they stopped making updates for around 3.3... so for all intents and purposes the iP5 is whole new phone for me. I am also pretty sure there are at least a few other new adopters out there that may not know it all yet.

You can remove the stock and weather widgets. That's about the limit of the customization for widgets. Some apps can also display notifications in this area and you can customize which ones can and can't.

I have no ideal if this is a new iP5 thing or if it's been around on other versions? Since this is my first upgrade sine I bought the 1st Gen i, it is new to me... and I found it by accident...! What is it called and can you customize it?

For those of you who have not discovered it, it pulls down as a curtain in front of your home screen. Just drag your finger from the top straight down.
Any other cool, hidden things I may have missed?
I find a lot of people don't know this but if you double space after a word, it enters a period after the word.
So rather than spacing then clicking the "123" and ".", you just double space.

It took a while for me to discover this (discovered here on this forum tbh) and now i use it all the time. I find myself double spacing on other keyboards as well but sadly it doesnot work .
Wouldn't it be easier just to hit the volume buttons on the side?

Also the voice recognition is useful. Anytime you need to type something, a microphone appears on the keyboard. Tap the mic and speak. It is remarkably accurate.

Not sure how long this has been out but new for me.
Incoming call hit the power button and the ringer stops. double push / click it and it goes to voicemail.
I had the iPhone 4/4S and never knew the double push to v/m was available.
That has actually been around since my old 1st gen came out... it just shows that many functions, we take for granted and new adopters might miss because everyone assumes it is common knowledge or too obvious to mention.
I tend to like digging around and seeing what I can do with my phone, same with my mac. I like to know about all the time saving features.
