It doesn’t help when you get a new iphone it doesn’t ship with its documentation. You have to get to the actual documentation page on apples site, and then dig a little to get to a page that looks like this (1) that merely outlines a few possible gestures. Not which ones to use when beyond a one sentence example. And this is just for the OS. What apps ship with documentation that outlines how these gesture functions are used in their app?

Despite being a young person in tech, I find myself totally at a loss when presented with an iPhone. I gave one a try a few weeks ago (went with a Galaxy instead) and my fiancée had to walk me through in baby steps.

Android apps tend to be decent about giving a little tutorial when they open, highlighting buttons with little blurbs explaining their use. Is this a trend with iOS?
