iPhone Forums:
Sometimes answers to reader-submitted questions and the instruction manual are not enough to solve an iPhone problem. Other times, it is nice to get a variety of user opinions about a product. For both of these scenarios, official and unofficial iPhone forums can be quite helpful.
A selection of active iPhone communities include:
| Apple (Official) | iLounge Forums | Everything iCafe |
| iPhone Forums | iPhoners | Howard Forums |
| Tom's iPhone Forums | ModMyi Forums | iPhone-Dev |
Before joining any online forum, be sure to search thoroughly before posting a new thread to see if your question has been answered previously. Be sure to review the rules of each community as well.
When posting a new message, it also is wise to provide links to information related to your topic from the forum itself in addition to elsewhere around the web to show that you have done research on your own before posting.
