Connecting the wireless keyboard to the iPhone

If you want to work with documents outside the home, answer email or write a long message in the chat, use the iPhone or iPad for these purposes is not always convenient, or rather, it is sometimes frustrating to work with their onscreen keyboard. Small text is still possible to dial, but no more. And what I have in mind the iPad. On the iPhone or iPod touch to something more than an SMS or a message on Twitter is better not to splurge. For such cases, the best suited hardware wireless keyboard. It is easy to connect via Bluetooth, iGadzhetov transformed into a miniature work station.

In addition to convenient physical keys, there are other benefits of using the external keyboard. For example, if you connect a virtual keyboard is automatically minimized, revealing a maximum screen space to work with. If you turn off Bluetooth to conserve battery power, do not forget to activate the unit again before working on the hardware keyboard.

As a test with a standard wireless keyboard from Apple.

For its connection, you must do the following:

• Open Settings → Bluetooth → choose to set the switch in the «ON» position. At this point, from Settings to leave early.
• The following is included wireless keyboard itself.
• On the iPhone / iPad / iPod touch in the same menu, view the list of available devices and choose a keyboard.
• Already using an external keyboard to enter a password to create a Bluetooth-pair, and then click Enter.

All is ready. Bluetooth-keyboard is displayed as connected in the Bluetooth menu, under "Devices.

Now you can leave the "Settings" and start conceived case.

Disable hardware keyboard in several ways. The easiest - is to turn off Bluetooth-module, which is enough to "Settings" in the Bluetooth tab, set the switch in the "OFF" mode. However, this is not an option if the Bluetooth function is required for other purposes (for example, headset or wireless speakers). In this case, better to choose the option "Forget device» ( «Forget the device»). You will need to go back to the menu "Settings" in the Bluetooth tab, tap on the title devices and select the option mentioned above, and then confirm your selection by pressing the red button.

If the native keyboard Apple's not, it will suit any other, and this is still possible to use the keyboard on the MacBook, although in the latter case, you need a third-party application Type2Phone. But why do it? I do not have time to work easier for Mac, than tinkering with the iPhone? Whatever it was, but the opportunity is there.
