A guy worked as an Apple Store Genius for 5 years. He repaired over 10,000 iPhones. He taught over 15,000 customers how to use them.
He said the same thing happened every single day: a customer would hand him a $1,200 iPhone, and he'd realize they were using it like a $200 phone from 2014.
"The iPhone has a built-in document scanner, a password manager, a sign language interpreter, a live translation system that works in real-time conversations, a sound recognition engine that alerts deaf users when a doorbell rings or a baby cries, a satellite emergency system that works with zero cell signal, a car crash detector, a text extraction tool that reads words from any photo, a background noise canceler for phone calls, and a health monitoring system that tracks everything from walking steadiness to hearing levels. Most people use it for texts, calls, Instagram, and a camera. That's a $1,200 computer running 5 apps."
He said Apple adds 50–100 new features with every major iOS update and never tells you about most of them. They're buried in Settings, hidden behind gestures, or tucked inside apps you've never opened.
"Apple builds the most powerful consumer device on earth. Then they ship it with a 2-minute setup wizard and hope you figure the rest out yourself. You won't. Nobody does."
Here are the 11 things he showed every customer:

A Legacy of Leadership, A Lifetime of Impact 🏆
Last Friday, we proudly held an official handover ceremony to honour our Founder and Chairman Emeritus, Mr. S.B.R. Shah, following his recognition at the 2025 Think Business Awards, where he received the esteemed Lifetime Achievement in Banking Award.
This momentous award celebrates a visionary leader whose commitment to excellence and innovation transformed I&M Bank from a small financial institution in Kenya into a regional powerhouse with operations in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Mauritius.
Our Founder and Chairman Emeritus envisioned a bank that would not only provide financial solutions but also serve as a catalyst for growth — a vision that continues to guide our journey today.
