Cool things You can one do with an iPhone and iPad that most people don't know about

Setting -> General -> Accessibility -> LED Flash for Alerts -> ON
This will cause the flash to blink whenever your phone is ringing, when you get a text message or a push notification. Totally cool!

There are other neat features on the accessibility screen such as custom vibrations and ability to tell the phone to always answer in speakerphone mode or headset mode. You can also set a custom function here for triple-click the home button.  Other things here such as the AssistiveTouch and VoiceOver feature are obnoxious - I don't think they are as cool.

Triple-tap the screen with 3 fingers (even if the screen is locked!) and it puts the phone in accessibility mode with super giant graphics.  To get out of this mode, triple-tap it with 3 fingers again!

Also, 

Settings -> General -> Keyboard
The 'Shortcuts' section on this screen enable you to teach the phone permanent shortcuts to complicated words you type a lot. For example, if your email address is name@domain.com, you can type something like "xyz" here, so every time you type xyz the iPhone will automatically type name@domain.com for you. Really great if you are multilingual and the iPhone keeps correcting the texts and emails you write in other languages to English


Also on the Keyboard screen, in the 'International Keyboards' section, you can add keyboards of other languages. In here there is one unassuming language called 'Emoji'. Add this keyboard and you will have a fantastic keyboard with 525 colorful icons, symbols, emoticons
