14 Mar Apple Manuals
We often get the question, “Does this (Mac, iPad, etc.) come with a manual?” The answer to that is that there is little to no printed documentation with new electronic products. Even IF there was a manual in the box, it would be out of date as soon as the first update rolled in.
That doesn’t mean there isn’t any documentation. It’s just going to be digital. We have known about a few of these manuals (like iPad and iCloud) for some time, but we didn’t know that Apple had online manuals for almost ALL of their software. This means you could do something like pull up Mac Pages help on your iPad and be reading while you work.
Here is a little index of the ones we have found so far:
