Another fun iphone hack - if you are typing anything, hold down your space bar, and your keyboard will become a touchpad, allowing you to drag your cursor with precision to anywhere in the text you are typing.

I use this one all the time. I don't even even remember how I would edit text before I used it - trying to move to a precision insert point is about impossible without it.

I did not know about this back tap stuff but I am defiantly setting it up today. I never even messed with Apple products until about 5 years ago but I don't guess I will ever change back at this point. If you have one of each of their products they have got you.

Here's another i-phone hack: grab a ball-peen hammer and hack that sheet until unrecognizable as a phone.

All the time...right after I read the User Acceptance before hitting the accept button.

My oldest showed this to my wife not too long ago.

My wife ( VERRRRYYY "not-techy) looked on in confusion and bewilderment. When my wife said " what is going on here?" my oldest replied " its witchcraft" .

I use the keyboard one all the time. I tried the backtap before, but didn't really "need" it. I'll look at it again.

I also use the "long press" to connect to my various bluetooth devices if they don't auto connect for whatever reason. Quicker than going to the settings.

I set up the double tap for reachability, which makes one handed use easier. Other than that, I haven't really settled on other functions.

My hardcase make it difficult to use the two/three tap function. I've tried it, sometimes I have to try multiple times to get it to work.

I forget how many taps it is before you are officially "choking" it.

Back tap was ok, set it up for screenshot. Accidentally took a million screenshots, shut that off.
