If you love reading ebooks, did you know that your iPhone offers hundreds of apps that let you store and read ebooks, while some of them even let you buy or rent them? Here are five of the best ebook reader apps for iOS.

Note: Android users can check out the best ebook reader here.

1. tiReader

tiReader has big aspirations. The app is more than just an ebook reader app; it’s an omnivorous media viewer with support for annotation. That includes an annotation-friendly photo viewer that builds a table of contents based on a ZIP file folder structure, supports DJVU files with bookmarks and annotations, and an audiobook player with support for searchable bookmarks and annotations.

Users just looking for a basic ebook reader app might be overwhelmed by everything. There’s a lot to tiReader, and if you don’t need all of its annotation power, the annotations can make the app feel cluttered. However, there’s another reason why we think tiReader is one of the...

Many of the initial trials of Apple TV Plus are now coming to an end. This means if you’re not willing to pay $4.99 a month for Apple’s media streaming service, it’s your only option is to cancel it. Unless you do so on time, your subscription will renew automatically. With that said, here is how to cancel Apple TV Plus.

Before we proceed, do know that if you decide to cancel Apple TV Plus, your access to this streaming service will end immediately (and not after the last day of your trial). If you plan to finish watching that series you’ve been bingeing, make sure to cancel Apple TV Plus one day before your subscription is due to renew.

How to Cancel Apple TV Plus on an iPhone

The quickest way to cancel your Apple TV Plus subscription is via your iPhone. Make sure you’re logged in to your phone using your Apple ID (the one associated with the Apple TV+ trial you plan to cancel).

1. Launch the “TV” app and make sure to be on the “Watch Now” tab (found in the bottom-left corner)....

For the most part, turning your iPhone into a mobile hotspot is an instant and seamless process, as it requires you only to enable this option in the Settings app. However, we’ve all been through issues with our phones, either refusing to connect other devices or not being able to share a Wi-Fi network without interruptions. If you are having specific trouble trying to connect to a hotspot, here are some of the best ways to troubleshoot your Wi-Fi hotspot on your iPhone.

Phones are incredibly easy to misplace. They’re small and travel everywhere we go. You might be familiar with the “bedding dance” many of us do when we wake up, shaking out our blankets until the phone thuds to the floor. Well, there’s a much easier way to find your iPhone or iPad, and you can rely on Siri for that.

If you forget where your iPhone or iPad was the last time you used it, you can ask Siri to ring the device loudly, helping you locate it without the need to have a friend dial your phone number. This command isn’t the same as the “Find My” utility of Apple’s iCloud, as you don’t need to turn anything on before you misplace your device.

As long as you have another iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Mac, Apple Watch, or HomePod that’s connected to the same Apple ID, you can ring your missing device. With that said, here are all the ways to find your iPhone or iPad with Siri.

In the past, recording your iPhone’s screen was a nearly impossible task. For a very long time, there wasn’t a built-in option to support screen recording on iOS, while Apple refused to allow such third-party apps to appear in the iOS App Store. However, that all changed a couple of years back in iOS 11, so you probably already have access to this feature. Let’s see how you can screen record on your iPhone.

If you’re like most people, your smartphone is probably at the heart of your digital life, storing highly sensitive data and years of memories. However, owing to their nature, these devices are prone to damage, getting lost or stolen. This makes backing up your phone an important task.

For iPhone users, automatic backup of data to iCloud is available but only up to 5GB of data. (That’s how much storage each Apple ID receives for free.) This means you may lose your contacts, media files, and documents if you don’t have a premium iCloud plan. Here are a few different options you can use to back up your iPhone so that your data is safe even if it gets lost, replaced, or damaged.

There may come a time when you want to reset your iPhone to its state when it shipped out of the factory. Unfortunately, it’s not as simple as pushing a paperclip into a hole on the site and powering it off. Those days are long gone.

That said, it’s not as difficult as you may imagine. No matter what your reasons are for wanting to restore your iPhone to factory settings, it only takes a few steps to complete that procedure.
