Invert colours for better browsing at night
Screen too bright for night browsing? Just go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Invert Colours, and you’ll get a black background with white text. Just that bit easier on the eyes.

Make the most out of your iPhone with these tricks
Switch on low power mode
Again, we’re not sure how we’ve managed without this little nugget of knowledge. If you have iOS9 and your battery is low, head to Settings > Battery and turn on Low Power Mode. This turns off non-essential tasks, meaning you can get up to four hours more battery life from your dying device.
If you have bad reception
Turn on airplane mode, then back off and the system will apparently reboot and you could get a better signal.
If you iPhone freezes
Hold down the home and lock button at the same time. If this fails, best thing to do is to let the battery die and then restart from there.
Use Siri to read out your emails/messages while on the go
Hold down Siri, tell her to ‘read my email’ or whatever your request, and you can listen to your messages (safely) while out and about.
Boost battery life by turning off vibrate
This can be found in Settings > Sounds. You can also turn off location services for a further battery boost.
