Sideways iPhone Features
The iPhone has been available in larger screen sizes for some time now and to make the most of the extra real estate, Apple has added features that you can only see if you turn it sideways.
Many of the apps you likely use on a regular basis have these hidden features, like mail, messaging and your calendar just to name a few.
When you go landscape with the Mail app, you can opt for a multi-screen mode that will show you all your messages along with a preview of the current message.
If you’re into looking up company info in the stocks app, it also has some additional screen space for additional info on any particular stock you’ve looked up.
One of the most obvious benefits of going to the landscape orientation is that you’ll have a larger on-screen keyboard often with additional keys not seen in portrait mode.
Since so many apps have taken advantage of the extra screen area, be sure to start checking whenever you open any app so you can find all the hidden gems that you didn’t know about!
