I'm pretty sure a lot of these tips show up in the keynote presentations, often with Craig Federighi demonstrating.
That's exactly how I knew about them, but it's great that more people are finding out about these tips! It just shows how feature rich iOS really is.

I couldn't get the photo select to work with iOS 8 but the email trick worked. All this time I was saving as a draft. Nice.
