Set Automatically refers to the iPhone’s built-in clock. If this item is turned
on, then the iPhone finds out what time it is from an atomic clock out on
the Internet. If not, then you have to set the clock yourself. (Turning this
option off makes two more rows of controls appear automatically: a Time
Zone option so you can specify your time zone, and Set Date & Time,
which opens a “number spinner” so you can set the clock.)
• Keyboard. Here, you can turn Auto-Capitalization on or off. That’s when
you’re entering text and the iPhone thoughtfully capitalizes the first letter
of every new sentence for you.
Enable Caps Lock is the on/off switch for the Caps Lock feature, in which
a fast double-tap on the Shift key turns on Caps Lock (page 20). Finally, “.”
shortcut turns on or off the “type two spaces to make a period” shortcut
described on page 21.
Below those options is International Keyboards. Tap it to view the 20 keyboard
layouts and languages the iPhone offers for your typing pleasure.
See page 27 for details on how you rotate among them.
• International. The iPhone: It’s not just for Americans anymore. The
Language screen lets you choose a language for the iPhone’s menus and
messages. The Keyboards item here opens the same keyboard-choosing
screen described above (and on page 20). And Region Format controls
how the iPhone displays dates, times, and currency. (For example, in the
U.S., Christmas is on 12/25; in Europe, it’s 25/12.)
• Reset. On the Reset screen, you’ll find six ways to erase your tracks. Reset
All Settings takes all of the iPhone’s settings back to the way they were
when it came from Apple. Your data, music, and videos remain in place,
but the settings you’ve changed all go back to their factory settings.
Erase All Content and Settings is the one you want when you sell your
iPhone, or when you’re captured by the enemy and want to make sure
they will learn nothing from you or your iPhone.
This feature takes awhile to complete—and that’s a good thing. The iPhone
doesn’t just delete your data; it also overwrites the newly erased memory with
gibberish, to make sure that the bad guys can’t see any of your deleted info even
with special hacking tools.
