- To create your first folder, tap and hold on one of the apps you want to put into folder.

- To remove an item from a folder, just tap and hold on the app for a second, then drag it out of the folder bar.
- The folder will only disappear after you remove the last app from it.
Part 3
- In the past, you could have multiple email addresses but could only manage them individually.
- The new interface adds an "All Inboxes" option, which allows you to see emails from all of your accounts at once.
- If you want to reply to any of these messages, you will reply from the address the email was sent to by default.
- You can change which address you're sending from while replying by tapping the "From" field and selecting your desired address.
Part 4
- To use digital zoom, first open up the camera.
- Tap the screen in order to focus on a particular subject.
- There's now a slider on the side of the screen which allows you to zoom in and out.
- This does not cause the fixed lens to zoom in (optic zoom) but instead digitally zooms in using software.
- This will cause a decrease in image quality.
- The quality will be better on the new iPhone 4 than on the older models.
Part 5
- You can change your search engine in Safari. Search engines available include Google, Yahoo and Bing.
- Just click Preferences, choose Safari and you'll see the switch search engine option.
- You can also change the wallpaper for your home screen or lock screen.
- When selecting your wallpaper, you can not choose to set lock screen, home screen or both.
- Spell check now includes underline and substitution AFTER the fact, rather than just autocorrecting as you type.
