Sometimes you may be faced with the following question: “I found an iPhone 5, how can I keep it?” Let's try to help users who are bothered by this topic. In fact, everything here is very ambiguous.
Why does the question arise
But first, let's look at why people ask the question: "I found an iPhone 5. How can I keep it?" After all, it is always important to understand where, to put it mildly, not the best thoughts flash in the minds of honest people.
The thing is that iPhone 5 is a new and branded gadget. It is of very high quality and stylish smartphone with a lot of possibilities. Everyone dreams of owning one. True, the price for the brand and “promotion” is quite high. Not everyone can afford such pleasure. Think for yourself, are you really ready to pay about 25,000-30,000 rubles for a mobile phone (even a branded one)? It's better to buy something simpler or get a brand new laptop.
That is why some people ask the question: “I found an iPhone 5, how can I keep it?” Moreover, this will not necessarily be a dishonest person. For the most part, if anyone has thought about our topic today, these are honest and law-abiding people. Let's now see what can be done.
Where to begin
First, let’s try to look at the “keep it for myself” option. In this case, you will have to try hard not to get into trouble. After all, the iPhone is a very expensive gadget. It is unlikely that the previous owner will forget about it.
So, if you have a problem: “I found an iPhone 5 - how to prevent it from being found?”, then the first thing you have to do is look at which SIM card is inserted into the smartphone. Now you can easily determine the location of equipment by phone number. So to speak, take a bearing on him. To do this, the owner just needs to contact the cellular operator and explain the situation with the loss.
If you are thinking about the topic: “I found an iPhone 5 - I want to keep it. What should I do?” - then it would be better to immediately disassemble the gadget and remove the SIM card from it. You can break it and throw it away, or you can leave it and put the owner on the wanted list. True, it would be better to just throw out the SIM card. This way you will not be suspected of the theft of the gadget itself. Now you can proceed to the next stage.
Flashing
The second point to consider is that the iPhone can simply be blocked after loss. To be honest, this is far from uncommon now. Good protection against theft and loss. True, there is a way out here too.
This is nothing more than unlocking a found iPhone 5. Nowadays, a lot of companies are engaged in so-called flashing. As a rule, they are located in the same place as mobile phone repair.
For money they will unlock your gadget. But here you will have to prepare well - you may be asked what happened, especially if you go to some branded store. Then you will have to figure out why the flashing was required. In general, when this activity is over, you can think further about the topic: “I found an iPhone 5 - how can I keep it?”
Silence is gold
Well, now we will move on to simpler (although not always) moments. In cases where you really want to keep an expensive find, you will have to be patient and strong. After all, we will need to remain silent. That is, if you asked yourself the question: “I found an iPhone - what to do?” - you can simply not say anything to anyone about your treasure.
There is no need to tell your friends, on the Internet or on forums, that you have picked up an iPhone 5. And you also don’t need to work with this gadget after flashing it and removing the SIM card. generally should be about 1 month. If during this period of time the owner is not found, then, naturally, you can safely say that you now have an iPhone 5.
True, sometimes this is not enough. Let's see what other precautions you can take so that you don't get caught, and the fancy gadget remains at your disposal.
Changing components
Are you thinking about the question: “I found an iPhone 5, how can I keep it?” Then, after all the steps taken, let’s try to modify our gadget a little. Sometimes this helps too.
The first step is to replace the panel. Give your gadget a boost the new kind, having bought several replacement panels for it. Sometimes this can help with identification. Especially if the old owner prefers to carry out verification only by “appearance” and “fullness”.
The second point is to change the battery. Yes, you will have to fork out more if you decide to keep such an expensive gadget. Nevertheless, this is what can sometimes help, although not always. So give it a try. It’s worth playing it safe, especially if it concerns very expensive gadgets.
It would also be a good idea to remove the memory card (if you have one) and format it. A card reader that easily connects to your computer will help you with this. As a last resort, you can simply throw away the extra memory and then buy a new one. So to speak, for myself.
Go ahead. Another move is to completely format the contents of the iPhone after flashing it. Preferably via a computer. So, if the former owner tries to look at the contents of his gadget, then, of course, this will not give any result. That's all. Now wait a while - the former owner was not found after for a long time? Then you can safely use the equipment.
Torment of conscience
True, if you have a conscience, then, most likely, you will immediately ask yourself the question: “I found an iPhone 5 - should I sell it or return it to the owner?” Now we will look at what has more advantages here.
If you decide to sell such a popular and expensive gadget, then be prepared for the fact that this process will have to be carried out "underground". The thing is that you will actually be giving away a stolen smartphone, so there is a possibility of a collision with law enforcement officers. Especially if the real owner has already put his loss on the wanted list. In this case, as a rule, a check can be carried out using special numbers that are assigned to each vehicle. A risky, albeit profitable, activity.
Another option is to return the gadget to the owner for a fee. And for quite a lot. Naturally, it will be less than the cost of an iPhone 5, but, nevertheless, you can get a good reward. This way you will be left with a clear conscience, and with money. Just don’t throw away the SIM card inserted into the gadget. And then post ads about your find. You can even contact the police.
Consequences of deception
Undoubtedly, if you decide to keep such an expensive find for yourself, you should be prepared for some consequences. Now you can find a lot of similar stories that end very badly. Namely, a prison.
If you don’t put your find on the wanted list, then most likely you will simply be found and detained. Naturally, this is only if the former owner starts looking for his gadget. Basically, that's all. It may also happen that you contact the police, ask to find the former owner, but he will not contact you for a long time. You can say he will forget about the iPhone. In this case, as a rule, after 2-3 months the find will be at your full and legal disposal.
A very long time ago, when iOS 10 was born, a very useful feature on the iPhone, which few users of this device know about.
The idea is that when someone calls you on your iPhone, you can hear that person's name. Convenient, isn't it? Let's understand this feature in more detail and how to enable/disable it.
What is Call Announcement on iPhone?
Judging by the name of the title, you already understand that the function is called “Call Announcement”. The essence of the work is very simple, the iPhone says the name of the caller when there is an incoming call.
If there is no name, then you will hear that this is an unknown number - everything is very logical and simple. This function has four operating modes:
- Always. The caller's name will always be announced.
- Headphones and car. Convenient for those who have a car. If you use headphones or your iPhone is connected to the car, you will be able to hear the name.
- Headphones only. For many, this will be the most convenient option, because often the phone is in our pocket and we simply cannot see who is calling. This mode will make your life a little easier and when you accept a challenge, you will know how to react.
- Never. This item exists if you do not want to use this feature.
We’ve sorted out the modes and I think it’s time to move on to the part when I’ll tell you how to activate this incredibly convenient function.
How to enable/disable the function when iPhone tells who is calling?
Now we just move on to the instructions on how to make the function active and select the desired mode:
- open Settings and scrolling down a little, we find the line Telephone;
- now select the item Call Announcement;
- All the modes that I talked about earlier appear and you just have to make the right choice.
When I was about to buy my first a couple of years ago iPhone 4s, then of course I was interested in everything related to this device. And before purchasing it, I asked many questions to Yandex, Google and my friends who already had it. I even wrote something down at that time.
And recently, while flipping through my notebook, I came across these entries and decided to save them on the blog.
Today’s article can hardly be called relevant: anyone who has an iPhone most likely already knows all this. However, let my “ unofficial iPhone user guide” will remain here.
If you need it then official iPhone user guide you can view on your iPhone via browser Safari, opening the “iPhone Guide” tab: 
You can also go to the application iBooks and download the guide for free from the iBooks Store.
You can also go to the Apple website from computer and there find the required manual for your version of iOS.
So, my questions before and after buying an iPhone and the answers to them:
1. Will my regular SIM card work for iPhone?
No. For iPhone 4S you need Micro-Sim, for iPhone 5 and 6 – needed Nano-Sim:
You can try to make an iPhone SIM card out of your regular SIM card yourself by cutting it with scissors. But it’s better not to risk it, but just contact your phone shop. mobile operator- They will give you a new one. They charged me 50 rubles for this, and they also credited it to my account. After they give you a new one, the old SIM card will stop working.
2. What should I buy to protect my iPhone from scratches?
Personally, immediately after purchasing an iPhone, I purchased it in a store protective film for him. A set of two films (for the front and back of the smartphone) cost me 400 rubles. The thing is that I didn’t want to immediately buy either a book case or a protective cover for the back wall for the iPhone. But if the smartphone is not protected in any way, then micro-scratches will appear on it very quickly (especially on the back side). That's why I bought a protective film, stuck it on and am happy.
Gluing the film is not at all difficult: just read the instructions for it (or watch a video on YouTube) and do everything slowly. If you are afraid that you won’t stick it carefully yourself and “there will be bubbles,” then you can turn to specialists (I was offered to do this right in the store for 200 rubles). 
3. What to do with your iPhone immediately after purchase?
First you need to insert a SIM card into it and then turn on the device itself. Turns on iPhone 4S And 5

4. Where to insert the SIM card in iPhone?
The iPhone box contains a special clip. Take it and insert it into the hole on the side of the device. A small tray will slide out from the body. We insert the SIM card into it and push the tray back.

5. What should you do with your iPhone immediately after turning it on?
After the first turn on iPhone need to activate. There is nothing complicated about this: follow the instructions on the screen - the iPhone is smart and will tell you everything. The only thing that may confuse you is the offer. Don't be afraid of anything - just create it.
For full setup you will need internet access. Therefore, at this moment it is better to be within the coverage area of some Wi-Fi network.
6. What is Apple ID?

”.
On the next screen, click “ Create an Apple ID for free”:
Further enter your email(I entered my mailbox address, which I always use anyway), Create a password(it must be at least 8 characters long and contain at least one capital letter and one digit).
Be sure to remember or write down the password you created - you will now have to enter it and your e-mail often when accessing Apple services. The specified e-mail and password are your Apple ID.
Next, to ensure the security of your account, you will be asked several additional questions, they will ask you to provide a backup email address - we do what they ask. On Mailbox above, an email will be sent to you. You can open it later (for example, I logged into my email from my computer a few hours later) and follow the link in the email to complete creating your Apple ID.
Next you will be asked if you agree to use different Apple services. You can agree or not - in any case, all this can then be turned on or, conversely, turned off in the smartphone settings.
At the last point we will be asked if we want to send diagnostic data to Apple. You can refuse to help the company.

If nothing is found, then you have a fake in your hands.
10. I’m calling from a new iPhone, but I can’t hear the other person well. What's the matter?
You will laugh: immediately after the purchase, I checked the quality of the connection and called a friend from my iPhone - I couldn’t hear him well. I was already upset, but then I noticed that did not peel off the protective film from the screen, which covered the speaker :) When I took it off, audibility became excellent.
Not to be confused with the film that I specifically bought to protect against scratches.

29. How to transfer files via Bluetooth on iPhone?
The iPhone does not have the ability to send or receive files using Bluetooth technology. On iPhone, Bluetooth is needed to synchronize with various external devices: headsets, sports accessories, monopods. To be honest, when I first became the owner of an iPhone, I was very surprised by this circumstance. However, over time I became convinced that this is not what I really need :)
You can transfer a file from one iPhone to another using AirDrop technology. But both of these iPhones must be at least version 5 (so I’m flying with my 4s :)).
Please note that iPhone owners with an iPhone can transfer a file via Bluetooth to another smartphone (not iOS). Jailbreak. To do this, you will need to download a special extension in an alternative application store Cydia(like the App Store).
30. What is Jailbreak on iPhone?
Jailbreak (Jailbreak) is a software operation with mobile devices, working under operating system iOS, which allows various software to access file system. Speaking in simple words, Jailbreak gives you access to the system as an Administrator, not as a User.
You can do this operation yourself: the Internet is full of programs for iOS jailbreak and instructions for them.
The main advantage of jailbreaking is the ability to install third party applications, which Apple for some reason did not approve for downloading in the App Store.
After jailbreaking your iPhone automatically Cydia program will appear. This is an alternative application store for iPhone - similar to the App Store. Just like the App Store, you can download various apps from Cydia (most of them are free).
Also, after jailbreaking, you will be able to download paid applications from the App Store for free.
Although jailbreaking is not an officially supported operation by Apple, it is not a violation of the company's copyrights. True, after the jailbreak procedure the device loses Apple warranty and is not subject to warranty repairs. But you can restore your iPhone to factory settings via iTunes program and no one will prove that you have ever jailbroken this device.
Know that if your iPhone is jailbroken and you decide to update iOS to latest version– this will remove the jailbreak from the iPhone. Every time there is a firmware update for iPhone, you have to wait for some time for enthusiasts to release a new Jailbreak.
Is it necessary to jailbreak? Personally, I think that there is no particular need for this: only if for the sake of interest, just to “play around”. But I believe that Jailbreak can be harmful. Software, available in Cydia, unlike the App Store, is not tested for reliability and security, and therefore can damage your data on the device or cause it to become unstable.
If you need to hang a picture on the wall, but don’t have a level at hand, it doesn’t matter. The iPhone can easily replace it thanks to the built-in gyroscope and magnetometer, as well as the straight edges of the case. The virtual level can be accessed in the pre-installed Compass application. Just launch the program and swipe left (the level is on the second screen).

Sometimes you have to shoot some kind of dynamic subject, for example, a sports game or pets. In such cases, the photos often turn out blurry. The continuous shooting mode will help you, to activate it you just need to hold the shutter button.
4. Fixes camera exposure and focus
The smartphone does not always determine the exposure and focus in the best way, which can result in photos that are too light/dark or blurry. But you can adjust the focus and exposure manually. Simply turn on the camera and hold your finger over the area you want to focus on. Then adjust the brightness of the photo using the slider. The settings will be saved even if you move the camera.
5. Takes photographs by pressing buttons on the headset
Another photo trick. Many people know that you can take a photo by pressing the volume key on your iPhone (convenient for selfies). But few people think that you can take photos using a headset in the same way. Can be useful in cases where you take photographs with a smartphone mounted on a tripod.
6. Allows you to set a unique vibration for each contact
Just like individual ringtones for each subscriber, you can also set unique vibration alerts. This makes sense if you frequently attend meetings, meetings, and other situations where you need to use silent mode. To set an individual vibration, you need to open the desired one, click “Edit” → “Ringtone” → “Vibration” → “Create vibration” and set up your own pattern.
7. Charges faster when airplane mode is on

If you have an iPhone 6s or later, using 3D Touch can make your life a lot easier and save time. This technology will speed up movement between applications, make typing more convenient and...
6. Reassigning volume buttons
The iPhone has two volume settings: the first is for calls and notifications, the second is for music and applications. Turning off the “Change with buttons” toggle switch in the sound settings will fix the ringer volume in its current position and transfer control of music and applications exclusively to the side buttons.
Work with text
7. Undo last action
Just shake your smartphone, and iOS will offer to undo the last action, be it typing, pasting or, conversely, deleting text.

Safety

Go to the password code settings and select “Change password code”. The system will require you to enter the old combination first, and then the new one. On the screen for entering a new password, click on “Passcode Options” and select an acceptable option.
12. Improve Touch ID accuracy
To help iPhone recognize you more confidently and quickly, create multiple prints of the same finger.
13. Create hidden photos
If you take photos in standard application cameras, they will be saved in the media library. To protect a photo with a password, you need to resort to a trick. Turn off photo export and set a password in the Notes app settings. To take a secret photo, go to create a new note and tap on the camera icon. Once the photo is taken, click on "Export" and select "Lock Note."
14. Guided access
We often give our smartphone into the wrong hands to “pass a level in a game,” “read an article,” or “watch a video on YouTube.” If you don't trust who will be using your iPhone, turn on Guided Access in Settings: General → Accessibility → Guided Access.
When handing over an iPhone to someone, triple-click the Home button to turn on Guided Access, and the person will only be able to use the open app.
Siri

So that the person who finds your iPhone can find you in this way, go to Siri settings and in the “Data” tab, assign a contact with information about yourself.
16. Male Siri voice
Not everyone knows, but our faithful electronic assistant can speak in a pleasant male voice. This option is available in Siri settings.
Calls
17. Calling the last number dialed
To repeat the last call, it is not necessary to go to the “Recent” tab. Click on the green handset on the screen with keys, and the iPhone will offer to call back the last number dialed.
18. Quick access to favorite contacts
To quickly dial important numbers, add them to the Favorites tab in the standard Phone application. Swipe right on the desktop to go to the widget panel. Scroll down and click “Edit”, and then tap on the plus sign next to the “Favorites” widget. Now you can call your loved ones faster and even when the screen is locked.
19. Detection of an incoming call in headphones
Answering calls using headphones is sometimes much easier than reaching for your phone. To find out who is calling you without taking your iPhone out of your pocket, turn on the “Call Announcements” toggle switch in your phone settings.
Messages
20. Deleting old messages
Deleting irrelevant messages will help bring order to your correspondence and free up precious megabytes of memory. Find the “Leave messages” item in the settings and set the required time after which the messages will be deleted.
21. Saving traffic in “Messages”
To avoid wasting traffic on heavy investments, turn on the mode Low quality in message settings.
22. Time of sending messages
One of the non-obvious functions of “Messages” is viewing the exact time of sending. Just swipe from the right side of the screen.
Alarm
23. Setting up a call from Apple Music
The ability to set your favorite song as an alarm is not a trick, but a basic iPhone feature that many people don't know about. When creating a new alarm, click on the Sound tab. Rewind the list to the very beginning, before the standard ringtones, find a panel with familiar names and click on “Select song”.
24. Snooze alarm
To reschedule the alarm to a later time, you don’t have to look for the corresponding button on the screen. Click on any side button, and the iPhone will wake you up again in nine minutes.
This interval was not chosen by chance: old mechanical alarm clocks could not count exactly 600 seconds. They did not take into account the current minute and began counting nine minutes from the next one.
Safari
25. Search by word on a page
Enter the desired word in address bar. In the drop-down menu under the search engine suggestions, select “On this page.”
26. Recently closed tabs
Go to the screen that shows previews of open pages and hold your finger on the “+” button. A list of recently closed tabs will open in front of you. This is useful if you accidentally closed it a long time ago open page, which is difficult to find in the browser history.
27. Convert a Safari page to a PDF file
28. Opening links in the background
Other basic applications and services
29. Spotlight as a converter
Swiping down on any iPhone screen opens Spotlight. Its use significantly reduces the time spent searching for something on a smartphone. Spotlight provides results from many applications: it will help you find the desired podcast episode, message by keyword or a person on Twitter. Also, a standard search engine can act as a converter. Just search for "1 usd" or "15 inches in cm".
30. Convert slow motion video to regular video
If you've been playing around with the slow motion feature and accidentally shot slow motion what would look better at natural speed, bringing the video to the original tempo is easy without additional applications. Open the video editing section and adjust the values on the speed bar. This strip is located above the timing field, where we usually cut the videos.
Level 31
The compass in the basic application is practically useless in the city. But if you swipe the screen to the left, you can get a level - an indispensable device for repair and installation.
32. Optimizing Apple Music storage
Turn on Storage Optimization in Music Settings and iPhone will automatically delete songs you rarely listen to. This will only happen when the device’s memory runs out.
To set the minimum amount of music that will not be deleted from iPhone, you can set the storage size.
33. Geolocation reminders
Task managers in the App Store offer a lot of functions, but standard “Reminders” are also capable of a lot. For example, a basic application can remind you to buy milk not only at 15:00, but also when you visit the store. To enable this function, select “Remind me by location” and find the desired geolocation in the task settings.
Battery
34. Turn on power saving mode
If your iPhone has more than 20% charge left, but the nearest outlet is still very far away, it makes sense to switch to power saving mode. To enable the mode, just ask Siri about it or find the corresponding item in the battery settings. In these settings, you can also find a list of the most energy-consuming applications and close them in a timely manner.
35. Silent charging connection
You can avoid vibration when connecting the charger to your iPhone by opening the Camera app before connecting the Lightning cable. The device will begin to charge, and your light-sleeping relatives will not be awakened by a sudden sound.
