Easy access to the iOS manual

A common question is "where can I download the manual for my iPhone/iPad/iPod?"

Well, it's likely that if you already have an IOS device, the answer is at your fingertips. If you open Safari on your device, you should find that there is a link to the manual already in the bookmarks. All very quick and convenient.

#5 Iphone bookmark, and link to manual in html format isn't properl

Submitted by Edward Alonzo on 15 October 2010.

Hey all I was just going to say that the bookmark in safari isn't working all I see is buttons when I click on these how ever, I'm not getting any actual text to read. So, I tried this link that was on this page, and it seems to be broken as well.

When you load the Page in safari, at the very top there is a link that says "voice over users click here." make sure you double tap that.
Yes, the link darrol posted doesn't work here either.

#7 Free eBook versions of iDevice User Guides in the iBooks Store

Submitted by Esther on 30 January 2011.

There are free eBook versions of the current User Guides for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad in the iBooks Store. Search under "Apple, Inc." These appear to get updated, since the earlier iPad User Guide (the only one that was originally available in the iBooks Store) was updated following the iOS 4.2 release, when versions of the iPhone and iPod Touch user guides were introduced.
