Hidden trackpad
It's easy to use an iPhone for years without ever noticing this trick.

Now tap out a few sentences of text.
Then press and hold on the spacebar and you'll find that the keyboard turns into a grey panel.

It allows you to quickly and precisely drop the cursor into a location.

This feature works in any app where you're using the regular iPhone keyboard.
And it can save you from having to delete a long word with an error in, because fixing it is so easy with the trackpad.
Double tap
Another clever trick is the spacebar "double tap".
This lets you quickly add a period without ever having to tap on the full-stop button.
First, make sure you've actually got the feature switched on.
Go into your Settings app, then choose General > Keyboards.
Now scroll down and look for the option called "." Shortcut.
Toggle that setting on.
