iPhone: The Missing Manual, 11th Edition

The Missing Credits

David Pogue (author, illustrator) is the tech columnist for Yahoo Finance (yahoofinance.com), the world’s biggest business publication. He was groomed for that job by 13 years of writing the weekly tech column for The New York Times. He’s also a monthly columnist for Scientific American, a four-time Emmy-winning correspondent for CBS News Sunday Morning, the host of 20 NOVA specials on PBS, and the creator of the Missing Manual series.

David has written or cowritten more than 100 books, including dozens in the Missing Manual series, six in the For Dummies line (including Macs, Magic, Opera, and Classical Music), two novels (one for middle-schoolers called Abby Carnelia’s One and Only Magical Power), The World According to Twitter, and three books of essential tips and shortcuts: Pogue’s Basics: Tech, Pogue’s Basics: Life, and Pogue’s Basics: Money.

In his other life, David is a former Broadway show conductor, a magician, and a funny public speaker. He lives in Connecticut with his wife, Nicki, and three awesome children.

Julie Van Keuren (editor, indexer, layout) spent 14 years in print journalism before deciding to upend her life, move to Montana, and live the freelancing dream. She now works for a variety of terrific clients who understand that skilled editing, writing, book layout, and indexing don’t have to come from inside a cubicle. She and her husband, sci-fi writer M.H. Van Keuren, have two teenage sons. Email: [e-mail].

Rich Koster (technical reviewer) bought his first iPhone on the first evening it was available. He began corresponding with David Pogue, sharing tips, tricks, and observations; eventually, David asked him to be the beta reader for the first edition of iPhone: The Missing Manual—and hired him as the tech editor of subsequent editions. For this edition of the book, all the work involved was accomplished on the iPhone X. Rich is a husband, father, graphic artist, writer, and Disney fan (@DisneyEcho on Twitter).

Phil Simpson (book design) runs his graphic design business from Southbury, Connecticut. His work includes corporate branding, publication design, communications support, and advertising. He lives with his wife and several great felines. Email: [e-mail].

Acknowledgments

The Missing Manual series is a joint venture between the dream team introduced on these pages and O’Reilly Media. I’m grateful to all of them, especially to the core of the iPhone Missing Manual team.

The work done on previous editions lives on in this one; for that, I’m grateful to Jude Biersdorfer, Matt Gibstein, Teresa Brewer, Brian Jepson, Apple’s Trudy Muller, Philip Michaels, O’Reilly’s Nan Barber, and my incredible assistant Jan Carpenter, who keeps me from falling apart like wet Kleenex. Thanks to David Rogelberg and Tim O’Reilly for believing in the idea; to Apple’s Jacqueline Roy for chasing down dozens of technical answers; to Kellee Katagi for her sharp-eyed proofreading; to Judy Le for assisting with cross-references and illustrating the iPhone’s many icons; and above all, to Nicki, Kell, Tia, and Jeffrey. They make these books—and everything else—possible.

—David Pogue
