Okay, that is enough. I figure if you are still here I would tell you. I am reading the manual. Yes, I was looking for a book to read and I thought, “Why don’t I figure out how my cell phone works?” I have an iPhone 7 so I checked some books on Amazon. Then I remembered that in iBooks there is a free manual. I like free. I downloaded it and I am reading it. I have learned about some new features that I did not know I had. Ex. 3 D Touch and Voice Control.<\/p>\n

The book is 379 pages long. It isn’t that bad. I skim and skip over the things I know. I am probably like you and just play around and guess at how to use the cell phone.<\/p>\n

It is interesting to read those manuals which have been translate by a non-English speaker. If a Japanese has done it I translate it back to the Japanese word and it makes sense.<\/p>\n
