Summertime Blues

Well, we did it! We got to the longest day of the year and the official start of summer. Here in Austin, summer came just a wee bit early—after a beautiful May, we entered summer on a streak of 100-degree days that doesn't look to be ending any time soon. If you, like me, were looking for some indoor activities to beat the heat, we had you covered last week with tips on planning an Apple Music karaoke party, setting up an Apple Savings account, and more. This week, we'll have some tips for those of you courageous enough to brave the outdoors, including how to use your iPhone camera to identify historical sites and landmarks while you're exploring the wild world around us.

If you enjoyed the first class in our brand-new iPhone Photo Editing Course, there's still time to subscribe to Insider and catch Lesson 2 on Wednesday, June 28, at 4:30 p.m. EST. Lesson 2 will be the most important lesson of the entire course! Senior Instructor Cullen Thomas will apply the principles you learned in Lesson 1 in real time to different types of shots, including nature photographs and family photos. Subscribe to iPhone Life Insider for access to all live sessions as well as unlimited replays. I'll see you next time!
