What can the mini computer resting in the palm of your hand really do?
Join 11,000+ Insiders and find out.
Your iPhone is more than a phone. More than a pager, a camera, or a radio. More than a weather app, a newspaper, or a TV. It’s a powerful, self-contained and (dare we say?) futuristic device that can do more than the best ’80s supercomputers. (And those took us to space and back!)
Yet so few of us know how to use this miniature powerhouse to its full potential.
Marvelous, hidden features wait just beneath the sleek, perfectly designed surface of the constantly evolving OS.
Yet too often—instead of doing AMAZING things—we spend hours trying to figure out why the battery keeps draining so quickly. Or waiting on hold with Apple Support, sorting out login issues. Or fighting with pesky notifications that refuse to go away no matter how many times we hit the “x.”
It’s time to say goodbye to all the annoying things about your iPhone.
Say hello to the brilliant, time-saving features just waiting to be used.
Experience one of the things our Insiders love most: Learning live, together, with a group of experts
What’s better than learning something new about your iPhone? How about mastering your iPhone with people just like you. That’s exactly what our fun, simple and — dare we say — entertaining courses provide.
Our panel of experts translate techno-jargon into plain English. They make the most confusing, complex-sounding features easy and simple to use. We run brand-new courses and workshops every month so there is always something new to learn. Here’s what’s coming next…
Live Course
iPhone Camera Course
Master Your iPhone’s Powerful Camera
Take the perfect shot of any subject in any lighting with your iPhone’s amazing camera!
We all know that our iPhones have fantastic cameras… so why do we still sometimes take blurry pictures? The truth is that taking great shots can require a little bit of preparation. Here’s the good news: just a few quick adjustments to your camera settings can make a HUGE difference.
From selfies to portrait photos to advanced photo modes, we’ll give you the tools to capture life’s perfect memories with your iPhone.
Our iPhone Camera Course will help you:
- Learn all of the core features, including zoom, manual focus, exposure, flash, photo timer, and more!
- Master advanced photo tools like cinematic, night, and portrait modes, and understand when to use them.
- Take professional quality photos by fine-tuning your settings, defining your Photographic Style, and taking photos in any condition.
- Discover new apps and gear for anyone looking for the perfect tripod, ring light, lenses, etc.!
Get personal attention from our expert instructors: The day after each class, we host a live Q&A session where you can ask follow up questions on the most recent lesson so that you never get left behind.
Attend live or watch any time: Replays of each lesson are available to watch at your convenience. When you become an Insider, you get full access to our class recording archive so you can learn at your own pace!
We’ve spent hundreds of hours poring over your iPhone’s key features to make sure our classes are easy for you to understand. Bonus: we also uncovered dozens of hidden updates to share with you during our research!

Here’s what some of our Insiders have to say.
Fills the gaps in a way Apple’s own information can’t
“Apple has awesome products but poor avenues for communicating what they can do for the non techie crowd. Insider fills that gap, giving me valuable information about upcoming releases.”
– David B., West Chester, PA
Answered questions I often wondered about
“I wanted to take advantage of things on my phone I didn’t know I didn’t know. But… Did I want one more email in my inbox every day? The answer is YES! Thanks to the daily email, Insider helped me answer questions that I had often wondered about but hadn’t pursued.”
– Amy H., Tucson, AZ
Revealed things about my iPhone I didn’t know
“I joined Insider when I realized there was more to the iPhone than I thought. I wanted to go deeper. At first, I wasn’t sure if getting another email with tips in my inbox would help me… But the Insider emails are so simple, I can go through them and learn something without using a lot of time. You’ve taught me things that the iPhone could do that I did not know about.”
– SteveJ., St. Paul, MN

We’ve been writing about tech for the past 30 years. And we’ve been covering Apple—reviewing apps, debating new features, and writing how-tos—ever since Steve Jobs released the first iPhone in ‘07.
And—unlike other publications—we focus on Apple devices. Exclusively.
Join for as little as $6.99 a month (when you pay annually)
Joining Insider is completely risk free.
That’s why we’re giving you 60 days to try it out for yourself.
Listen… We don’t want you to keep Insider unless it’s really making your life easier and helping you master your iPhone. That’s why we offer a no-questions-asked, 60-day money-back guarantee.
Try Insider for 60 days. Sign up for one of our upcoming courses. Or use the Ask feature to ask our experts every single question you’ve ever had about your iPhone, iPad, or Apple watch. Or use the iPhone 11 Pro Camera Guide to finally brush up on those rusty photography skills. And if by the end of the 60 days Insider has not helped sharpen your phone skills, send an email to support@iphonelife.com and we’ll refund you.
Remember to claim your senior, veteran, or service professional discount.
“A lot of this sounds good and I really do want to make the most out of my iPhone…
But I’ve still got some questions.”
These are the questions our customers ask us most often.
Got a question we didn’t answer?
Email us at questions@iphonelife.com and we’ll respond with the answer.
1. Who is Insider for?
Insider is for anyone looking to master their iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or any other Apple device. If you want to make the most of your device, stay up to date with the latest tech, learn new things, or stop depending on friends and your kids for help when you get stuck, Insider if for you.
2. What if I’m not good with technology? Will Insider help me?
Yes. Whether you’re just starting out with your iPhone, or you’ve been using tech since the 70s, we’ve got tutorials and guides that will help you discover something new and unexpected. When you log into your dashboard, you’ll be able to search by topic and find the beginner-friendly materials you need to master your phone with ease.
3. I’m already pretty knowledgeable when it comes to iPhones and technology. Will Insider teach me something I don’t know?
We hope so! Insider is designed to have something for everyone. Thanks to the 60-day, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee you can try it and if you’re too advanced, email support@iphonelife.com and we’ll give you a full refund.
4. I’m already a Tip of the Day subscriber. How is Insider different?
Our Tip of the Day Newsletter is a great start to making the most of your iPhone. But it’s limited to 1-minute solutions. Not everything important can be covered in 60 seconds. If you are ready to go deeper, Insider gives you access to live classes, in-depth video guides, a digital subscription to iPhone Life Magazine, one-on-one help, a premium ad-free podcast, and our archive of over 1,000 premium video tips. We designed Insider with complete mastery in mind.
5. How do I receive my Insider content?
When you sign up, you’ll get instant access to our new classes and our entire archive of content. It’s all inside the custom Insider dashboard. To access it, click the “Log in” button at the top of this page or click the custom link we’ll send you.
6. You said I get access to all online classes. How does that work? And how are these classes different from your other content?
Every quarter, we run a live, virtual class on a big, important topic like the new operating system. These classes last 4-6 weeks. We meet on Zoom 1-2 times a week for instruction and discussion. Classes are completely free for Insiders. You can attend as many as you like. And we record all our classes so if you miss any sessions, you can watch them in your own time.
7. I’ve never used online guides or classes. What do I do if I get stuck?
We’ve designed Insider for beginners, experts, and everyone in between. If you get stuck—or if something doesn’t make sense—just email our instructors at support@iphonelife.com and we’ll help you get unstuck.
8. I don’t have much time to invest in learning to use my device. Is Insider still for me?
Yes! We designed our content so you can learn in small increments. Our video tips teach you something new every day in just one minute. Our video guides are split into 5- to 15-minute lessons so you can watch at your own pace. We record all our courses so if you sign up and miss one of the live sessions, you can watch the recording in your own time. Everything is designed around you and the way you learn best.
9. What makes Insider better than the free content I can find through YouTube or Google?
We’ve been helping people learn to use mobile technology for the past 30 years. And we’ve been writing about the iPhone for the past 12 years. Every month, millions of people come to the site for free tips. The ones ready for the next level become Insiders.
10. Do you offer a discount?
We’re proud to offer a 10% discount to seniors, veterans, service personnel, and health professionals. Just check the “Claim Senior/Service Personnel” box on the checkout page and we’ll deduct 10% off your total.
