IPhone Features

Because the iPhone is like a mini-computer, it offers the same wide range of features and functions that a computer does. The major areas of function for the iPhone are:

Phone - The iPhone's phone features are solid. It includes innovative features like Visual Voicemail and standard features like text messaging and voice dialing.

Web browsing - The iPhone offers the best, most complete mobile browsing experience. Though it doesn't support the standard Flash browser plug in, it doesn't require dumbed-down "mobile" versions of websites, instead offering the real thing on a phone.

Email - Like all good smartphones, the iPhone has robust email features and can sync to corporate email servers running Exchange.

Calendar/PDA - The iPhone is a personal information manager, too, with calendar, address book, stock-tracking, weather update, and related features.

iPod - A shortcut description of an iPhone is a combined cell phone and iPod, so of course its music player features offer all the advantages and coolness of iPods.

Video playback - With its big, beautiful, 3.5-inch screen, the iPhone is a great choice for mobile video playback, whether using the built-in YouTube application, adding your own video, or buying or renting content from the iTunes Store.

Apps - With the addition of the App Store, iPhones can now run all kinds of third-party programs, from games (both free and paid) to Facebook and Twitter to restaurant finders and productivity apps. The App Store makes the iPhone the most useful smartphone around.

Cameras - One major change in the iPhone is the inclusion of two camera, whereas previous models only had one. The camera on the back of the phone shoots 5-megapxzel still images and takes 720p HD video. The user-facing camera allows FaceTime video chats.

iPhone Home Screen

With the release of iPhone firmware - the software that runs the phone - version 1.1.3, users can re-arrange the icons on their home screen. This is especially helpful once you start adding programs from the App Store, as you can group similar applications, or the ones you use the most often, together.

Of course, being able to re-arrange icons also leads to some unexpected events, like all the icons on your screen shaking.

iPhone Controls

Though the iPhone's coolest control features are based around the multi-touch screen, it also has a number of buttons on its face that are used for control.

Home button - This button, at the bottom of the phone right below the screen, is used to wake the phone from sleep and control some onscreen features.

Hold button - At the top right corner of the iPhone, you'll find the hold button. Pressing this button locks the screen and/or puts the phone to sleep.It's also the button used to restart the phone.

Volume button - On the left side of the phone, a long button that moves up and down controls the volume of music, video, and the phone's ringer.

Ringer button - Just above the volume control is a smaller rectangular button. This is the ringer button, which allows you to put the phone into silent mode so the ringer won't sound when calls come in.

Dock Connector - This port, at the bottom of the phone, is where you plug in the cable to sync the phone with a computer, as well as accessories.

Using iPhone with iTunes

Like an iPod, the iPhone is synced with and managed using iTunes.

Activation - When you first get an iPhone, you activate it through iTunes and select your monthly phone plan using the software.

Sync - Once the phone is activated, iTunes is used to sync music, videos, calendars and other information to the phone.

Restore and Reset - Lastly, iTunes is also used to reset data on the iPhone and restore contents from backup if problems cause you to need to erase the contents of the phone.
