If your question is not answered above, be sure to see EveryiPhone.com's comprehensive iPhone Q&A and iPhone Troubleshooting & Repair Q&A. Official iPhone manuals as well as unofficial forums for community assistance may be helpful, too.
Apple's official instruction manuals in PDF format are below. An applicable program likely already is installed on your computer or device, but if not, the free Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to read PDFs.
The model number is a specific identifier listed on the back of each iPhone in tiny print. For more help identifying a specific model, please refer to iPhone Identification.
If the manual does not provide the info you need, be sure to read EveryiPhone.com's answers to frequently asked questions and search iPhone forums, as well.
iPhone Forums:
Sometimes answers to reader-submitted questions and the instruction manual are not enough to solve an iPhone problem. Other times, it is nice to get a variety of user opinions about a product. For both of these scenarios, official and unofficial iPhone forums can be quite helpful.
A selection of active iPhone communities include:
| Apple (Official) | iLounge Forums | Everything iCafe | TiPb Forums |
| ModMyi Forums | iPhoneForums | iFans | iPhone Alley |
| iPhoneWorld (Canada) | iPhoners | Planet-iPhone | iPhone-Dev |
Before joining any online forum, be sure to search thoroughly before posting a new thread to see if your question has been answered previously. Be sure to review the rules of each community as well. When posting a new message, it also is wise to provide links to information related to your topic from the forum itself in addition to elsewhere around the web to show that you have done research on your own before posting.
