Apple has added new 'Tips and Tricks' sections to its iPhone marketing websites, giving new and old iPhone users a handy guide to the new features of iOS 7 and the new iPhone models.

The three pages, one each for the iPhone 4s, 5c and 5s, include sections about photography, swipe gestures, FaceTime, Maps, Siri, Calendar, Music, Mail, Safari, AirPlay and Wireless, Settings, Compass, and Find My iPhone.

The pages, which are linked at the bottom of every iPhone marketing webpage on Apple.com, appear to be something of a quick start guide, complimenting the more in-depth iPhone User Guide.

I have never read a manual or guide or any iOS device. I did not think you needed to.

Meanwhile acknowledging iOS's slightly degraded level of intuition...
They had tips/tricks page for the iPhone since 2010. The basics are intuitive but not every single feature can be instantly discover-able.
