 What are some iPhone 5 tips and hacks that not many people know about?, Thought I would share again for more to view (:

  • When taking a photo in the camera app, you can use the volume up button to "click" and shoot.

You can also control music playback here. 

  • If your phone hangs or there is no display but you can call your phone and it seems to ring, you can Hard Reset your iPhon by holding the Home+Power button together for 10 seconds.
  • If your home key is hard, you can have an on screen button. Goto Settings - General - Accessibility - Assistive Touch. This will enable a small circle on the phone screen which gives you access to several small shortcuts as well.

  • Maximize Battery life by disabling all options in Settings - Privacy - Location Services - System services

  • You can stop music playback after a certain time (if you're used to listening to some music before you sleep but have no one to switch off the app.). Goto Clock - Timer - set the duration and select When Timer Ends - Stop playing

  • If you have a Draft saved in your Mail app, you can simple see then by holding the compose option in the Mail app.
  • Take a screenshot of the phone screen by holding the home button then also the power button together.

Hope this helps!
