Things You Didnt Know Your iPhone Did

[Rat-Boy]

- On the iPhone headphones, the little stub thing on the right ear side wire is a microphone. If you pinch it once, it pauses a song / answers a call, and if you double pinch it, it fast forwards songs.

And if you triple pinch the head phones button, it goes back to the beginning of the current song.

If you do it twice, totally six squeezes pretty quick, it goes back a song I believe.

When you type while holding down the shift key, it functions as caps lock.

When I use my iPhone close to an xbox controller it turns the controller off and on. I didn't know it had this function

Actually, holding it down makes it function like a shift key

Double tap it for caps lock

When you type while holding down the shift key, it functions as caps lock.

And how is that different then any other keyboard. I hold down the shift and its acts like a caps lock, i.e., typing in upper case.

If you squeeze the top and bottom of the iPhone tightly between thumb and middle finger, then move the middle finger slightly downward, the iPhone will squirt out of your hand and self-destruct against the nearest solid object. Works in either orientation, and works even better if you have sunscreen on your hands. Works with any model, regardless of firmware version, and could come in handy when trying to justify paying full price for the new model when it comes out.

If you stick it near a baby monitor it will start making sounds over the monitor as it connects to the internet. And the best part about it..It's free. Its not something you have to buy at the app store. The iphone already does this. Way too cool. Especially at night when youre trying to sleep.

Actually, if you triple click in the first 2-3 seconds of a song, it goes back to the previous song. After that, it just goes back to the beginning.
