iPhone Life - Best Apps, Top Tips, Great Gear

Your iOS keyboard is capable of amazing feats—you can now drag your finger around it to type, the emoji selection is unmatched, and you can add French accent marks (and others) easily. Keep in mind that these tips will work whether you are sending an iMessage, writing an email, or creating any other text on your phone. We’re going to show you how to type é on an iPhone and add other accent marks using a text message as an example.

If you prefer a leather folio case for your iPhone that has slots for credit cards, but also prefer a more compact case, the folks at Hex have a 4-in-1 iPhone Case ($99.99) they'd like you to try. They sent me one and it's got a lot going for it. It has three (or four in the case of the iPhone 11 Pro Max) slots on the back for credit cards, plus an internal slot for cash or more cards. And when you want to go it alone, the protective polymer phone case is easily detached from the wallet folio thanks to the metal plate and magnets built-in.
