Many people are frustrated that Apple doesn’t include a full manual with their products. I can understand Apple’s point of view on this. Software updates often change how their products work, they have not included printed manuals in years because the details are likely to change, and having outdated manuals can cause more harm than good. Apple does have manuals, but they are digital!
Apple publishes a multitude of manuals and tons of technical documentation for its products on its support site, but until recently, it could be challenging to find something specific because the search engine on Apple’s site isn’t great. For a better path into Apple’s online support materials, check out the company’s new Documentation site, which brings together manuals, specs, and some downloads for nearly all its products. The operating system User Guides are particularly helpful, and they even provide a Version pop-up menu that lets you make sure you’re getting information for the version you’re using.
