This fall, the iPhone will celebrate an entire decade of existence. And we're STILL learning new things about its capabilities!

On May 2, a Twitter user with the handle @censoredialogue announced that it's possible for iPhone owners to backspace numbers on the calculator. Say what? He then demonstrated it with a nine-second video, showing that by simply swiping the number display (left or right -- it doesn't matter), you can easily delete the last digit you typed. We can almost hear the world's collective groaning! https://twitter.com/censoredialogue/status/859566331766730752 In an age where technology rules and everyone's looking for easier ways of doing things, the tweet soon drew 34,000 likes. After all, how many times have you made a mistake while calculating figures and had to clear everything out and start all over?
By all accounts, this feature is nothing new to the iPhone. But with so many features to keep track of, it seems that not many iPhone users were aware of it before now. Have you just recently discovered something your smartphone can do? We'd love to hear about it in the comments!
