The iPhone 5 was made available to the public last Friday and already in excess of five millions customers have purchased the device. The thing is, that the full user guide was included in the packaging. It was instead released online along with a user guide for those choosing to use iOS 6.
You might have expected to see this user guide made available immediately at the iBookstore but this wasn't the case and it took four days before the 155 page document was released on the iBookstore as a free download. In these four days many users will already have gotten to grips with the new smartphone and its accompanying software, and although there are quite a few updates in iOS 6 compared to iOS 5, it really isn't that hard to begin using it without the help of the user guide. The small fingertips user guide that comes packaged with the iPhone 5 is nowhere near sufficient and if you want to get the most out of your purchase and really get your money's worth it is a good idea to visit the iBookstore and search for �iphone user guide for iOS 6�.
In their release notes, Apple describes the iPhone User Guide as an essential part of any iPhone library but even so, they didn't think it was important enough to place in the box. This guide provides information on general iOS stuff along with giving users a stronger insight into the new features such as Passbook and the Maps app. Even if you are very comfortable using iOS 6 and your new iPhone 5, it might still be worth downloading this guide for future reference.
