But man alive, can they make using your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad faster! And once you get the hang of their multi-touch magic, not only won't you stop using them, you won't be able to wait to wow your friends and family!
1. How to quickly enter caps, numbers, punctuation, and more with the iPhone and iPad keyboard
At first glance using the iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad keyboard can look like a chore. You have to hit keys to switch from lowercase to uppercase, from letters to numbers to symbols and back, and where the heck are the all the special characters?

Siri is a huge shortcut unto itself. There's no faster way to add Reminders to your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, for example. You can even use Siri to find out how to better use Siri! What's not as widely known, however, is that if Siri ever gets something wrong, or you change your mind about something after you've already asked Siri, you can easily change the question and get a new answer. It may not always be as fast as just asking again, but if you'd rather type than talk, Siri gives you that option!

However, easily isn't always quickly, unless you know this great gesture shortcut for getting to your history and fast.

However, it can take a lot of hunting actually find that draft and get back to it! Luckily, iOS contains a gesture shortcut that can make tracking down all your draft emails a lot faster.
