Why does Apple not produce a user guide as one PDF file for the iPhone 11?

I tried that link and it ends up to the same place. Can I suggest you try the links and find out how you download the Iphone 11 Pro manual as even Apple support does not have a link.

What place did you end up? I end up with an 1,170 plus page nicely illustrated book with a world of information on iOS 13. What about this book is it that you don’t like? It has a search feature, the ability to bookmark pages....

If you are looking for a printable pdf manual, Apple no longer produces them. If Apple provided a printed manual with every phone that they sold, the cost of the phone would most likely go up even more. Besides, the software changes and is updated so often, that some of the material would be outdated in weeks. The online manual or the iBooks, manual can constantly be updated when the software charges.

This is where that link takes me.

They produce PDF manuals as linked above, but for iOS versions, not specific phones.

Feedback for Apple goes here >>> http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Well, if you stated that specifically, I missed it. The Apple Books app is available in many countries around the world and is available in 32 languages. Do you even have the Apple Books app?

‎Apple Books on the App Store

The link will open in the app, not in a browser. There is also an online manual, but the books manual is so much easier to navigate and it is more comprehensive.

Here is the link for the online manual.

I tried that link and it is a page of pretty pictures but no guide. I think it is deceitful that Apple gives you a link to nothing!

and did you click on the View in Apple Books link? That is nicer than a PDF.

Here you go! --> ‎iPhone User Guide on Apple Books

If you have a complaint, tell Apple: https://www.apple.com/feedback/

Otherwise, no one here really cares about your whine.

So what sort of feedback can give ti a company that has lost the plot? Not much.

It is one stupid trick pulled off by Apple.

You don't seem to actually want a solution. You just want to rant.

Your username should have tipped me off to not try and help. Shame on me.

Best of luck to you.

I do not understand why you are supportting the notion that computer companies should not write technical manuals.

So let me understand this.

You are going to put words in my mouth, then ask me to explain those words to you?

Again, best of luck to you.

fwiw, the link works for me.

use the Community to seek technical support.

Which was given.

You chose to rant on and misquote someone giving you that support in an effort to debate and denigrate Apple policy.

I am disappointment at the tone of your replies

You're going to lecture us about tone? We didn't have a submission removed.

Yeah, I think you got that right
