For Ray and others who are very new to iPhone or iPod Touch 5th gen,
If you are trying to turn off your iPhone simply press the single power
button at the top right-hand side. Pressing this power button again turns it
back on.
If the iPhone is off and you press the power button at top to turn it on, or
if you press the home button on the face of the iPhone to turn it on, you
can repeatedly single-finger swipe right until you hear "Slide to unlock."
At this point use a single finger to double tap on this item to open your
homepage. (Don't forget that you can repeatedly single finger swipe back to
the left if you don't find "Slide to unlock.") After the single finger
double tap on Slide to unlock you will be on the "desktop" of your iPhone.
(Smile).
Note: Tom Lang? posted a great tip. He suggested that once you press the
power to turn on your iPhone/iPod touch, you can press the bottom left hand
corner of the screen to quickly find "Slide to unlock." Now double tap
anywhere on your screen and you are at your HOmepage.
This is how your iPhone's homepage is probably laid out (There are 3
sections): Status bar at the top, 4 by 4 grid of app icons, and dock.
Status bar:
Activate the status bar by pressing your finger at the top 1/4 inch of
screen. You can now swipe from right to left and vice versa. This section
tells you such things as WIFI signal connection status, time, battery power
etc. To access a different part of the screen simply tap the center of your
iPod or iPhone.
Apps:
If you tap on the area of the screen below the Status bar you will be
focused on all your apps. You can swipe to the right to move through all
your apps. You will hear a tone when you move from app to app. You will hear
a very different tone when you move from row to row of icons. There will be
4 app icons per row and a total of 4 rows of icons. You can double tap an
icon to open the app. To return to the homepage simply press once the round
Home button at the bottom of the iPhone or iPod Touch.
Dock:
The third section of your iPhone homepage screen will be contained within
the bottom row of icons. This dock will hold only 4 items. This is analogous
to your Windows7's Taskbar. You can quickly launch any app pinned to this
dock. I have placed The apps store in dock position 1 and the calendar on
dock position 4. This makes checking for app updates very quickly as I need
only tap the bottom left hand corner of screen to determine if there are any
app updates waiting for me. Determining today's date is also very easy as I
need only tap the bottom right hand corner of the screen to have the date
spoken to me.
The gesture you will probably use most is the left swipe and right swipe
which helps you navigate through each screen and various iPhone settings.
Think of it as pressing tab and shift tab on a Windows machine.
Let me know if you need any clarification or amplification of information.

Double-tap anywhere on the screen. Or, physically find the area that says
it and split-tap or slide
from left to right.
