How iPhone helps students study: 10 useful tips
We tune into the right rhythm
Any material is better absorbed when we abstract from extraneous noise. The iPhone 14, 15 and other models have an option for background sounds: the murmur of a brook, the roar of waves, rain - they help you relax, rest, fall asleep faster or focus on a task. Unlike music, they sound evenly and do not draw attention to themselves. To activate the correct rhythms, go to the "Control Center" and tap the "Hearing" button (a circle with an ear). If there is no button, you need to add it through the settings. And how to play background noise, see the illustrations.
If the teacher is lecturing too quietly and you have to listen constantly, you can use the Live Listening option. This feature cuts out background noise and highlights the lecturer's voice. However, in order not to miss anything, you need to put your iPhone closer to the main sound source and listen to the speaker through AirPods. See the illustration below for how to set everything up. By the way, this same feature will help you hear in real time what they say about you when you leave the room.
Mastering the magic of copying text from a real book
The Apple phone is a portable scanner that will allow you to copy text from a real book or any paper document and paste it into a virtual summary. You won’t have to retype or rewrite anything. Just point the smartphone lens at the text:
Wait: a yellow frame should appear around the selected text fragment. Then tap the recognition button (a book sheet in a frame).
Select an action: “Copy”, “Select all”, “Find”, “Translate”, “Search the Internet”, “Share”.
When you only need a piece of text, a line or a word, hold your finger on the display and grab the text fragment, copy it or select another action.
We remove all pauses
Recording lectures on a voice recorder is very convenient. But you still need to listen to everything and make notes. The iPhone has a feature that will help with this: just reduce the recording time on your smartphone by removing pauses in the teacher's speech. The illustration below shows the settings.
The Magic of the Apple Ecosystem
Apple technology allows you to work without interrupting your work processes for a second. You start working on your iPhone and then continue it on your MacBook, or vice versa. Handoff will help with this — the principle of continuity of actions, which is available on all devices released after 2012.
How to launch the function:
Log in with one Apple ID.
Turn on Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Handoff on both devices at once. Please note that the distance between the devices should not exceed 10 meters.
Technical requirements for operating systems: iOS 10, iPadOS 13, macOS 10.10, watchOS 1.0 or later.
The following applications support continuity of action: Maps, Reminders, Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Safari browser, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and third-party applications.
What else does the Apple ecosystem offer for the most convenient study:
And to copy text/picture on the smartphone and then paste it into a document on the laptop, just use the capabilities of the universal clipboard. You don't have to configure anything.
We focus on study, rest, sports
The sounds of messages in messengers during classes irritate not only the lecturer, but also classmates. It is easy to solve this problem and you do not need to turn off your phone. Just activate the "Focus" mode.
What are the capabilities of "Focus" and how to set them up:
You can allow messages only from certain people and/or applications. Send everything else to the notification center.
To avoid being constantly distracted by the display, set up the lock screen and home page.
Concentrate on your studies and important matters with autofocus. Launch the option and set it up by time, when opening a certain software or when you are in a specific place.
Determine how the smartphone behaves when focus is activated.
The illustration below shows the settings.
Take notes directly on your phone
Don't worry if you forgot your notes at home. With your Apple smartphone, you can take notes on a lecture, write down important data, or even draw a drawing. Or record a lesson using audio input (the "Text Dictation" option) - naturally, your notes will be accessible on all your Apple devices. And to get instant access to your notes, add "Notes" to the "Control Panel". It's all very simple.
Siri will also come to the rescue: ask to create a note and you’re done!
Share notes with friends via AirDrop
Forget forever about the times when students went to copy centers to print out other people's notes or rewrite them by hand. Even the "heaviest" file can be sent from an iPhone to someone else's smartphone or to your other equipment in seconds. AirDrop technology, available to Apple users, will help with this.
Pump up your smartphone with useful apps
You can use an endless amount of software on your iPhone for studying. Want to make a cool presentation? Use Prezi. Looking for answers to questions? Ask them in ChatGPT, and artificial intelligence will answer any topic. And if you need to collect and use scientific articles for a term paper or essay? Feel free to use Zotero.
Compact, super-powerful, and functional
If you want to get the most out of your studies, check out the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro, which will remain relevant for several years to come. These are high-performance, very powerful, and beautiful smartphones. The 15th Pro version is equipped with an Action Button, which can be used to automate important processes. In addition, both models have top features, thanks to which Apple phones are rightfully called industry leaders:
Smartphones will cope not only with educational matters: they are perfect for games, relaxation, communication and work, because students also have time earn extra money.
By the way, Apple Watch and AirPods are among the top gadgets for students. Smart watches will be a great companion in sports, will help monitor your health, will allow you to stay in touch with family and friends at any time. Wireless headphones guarantee quality rest, provide fantastic atmospheric sound, and will also cut off all extraneous noise and help you hear the teacher, even if you are sitting at the very last desk.
