iPhone is one of the latest gadgets to catch the attention of the gadget savvy people all over the world. The main point in buying any gadget is though not the sensation it creates but the utility of the gadget. Hence, we must take a close look at the utility of a gadget for us before we empty our pockets to buy anything. Following are a few points that go in favor of the iPhone. Let’s see what all is in store for you in the iPhone.
Display
The iPhone owes its crystal clear clarity to the 320x480 px display at 160 ppi. The screen spanning 8.9 cm or 3.5 iches makes for an appreciable view. Due to the high number of pixels and the wide variety of display colors, the displays are sharp and provide for effortless viewing. Though the screen of the iPhone is wide, the Apple iPhone is in no sense difficult to carry. It is one of the rare portable devices with a wide screen. The absence of keys on the sides of the screen contributes to making the iPhone size adequate.
Touch Screen
The Apple iPhone has one of the best touch screens ever. It has an amazing application of the touch screen technology as it helps you change the screen completely according to the need. The screen can display a keyboard, a music library, a video clip or any other function in isolation according to your need. Scrolling to get to the item of your choice is very easy and the screen is highly sensitive to touch, making access quick and easy.
Mac OSX
An optimized version of the OS X operating system (without unnecessary components) runs on the iPhone. This version is without the unnecessary components as the complete operating system would be meaningless. This operating system of the iPhone includes the software component Core Animation that together with the PowerVR MBX 3D hardware makes the user interface brilliant. The difference between the operating system running on the Mac and the iPhone has not been made public officially.
The Look
Its dimensions are 115×61×11.6 mm (4.5×2.4×0.46”) and it weighs 135 grams (4.8 ounces). This makes the iPhone pretty light in terms of weight and compact in terms of size. It is thus easy to carry around in your pocket. The screen of the iPhone is bright and the display is clear. The design of the iPhone is polished and professional. The iPhone is certainly a gadget that gets full marks for its looks. It is a piece of beauty and you can show it off in any business meet. The finish of the item is excellent with smooth edges and hopefully a durable material.
It's Clever
The iPhone is certainly one step ahead of other gadgets in terms of technology and intelligence. There is an in-built accelerometer in the iPhone that can judge whether the iPhone is held vertically or horizontally. How does this help? The screen adjusts accordingly. It will adjust the screen display vertically or horizontally according to your way of holding the iPhone. The scroll feature of the iPhone is pretty clever as well. It takes the signal from the screen and your flicking the finger up or down scrolls the screen.
There are many more such cool features in the iPhone and they only make the iPhone more attractive and easy to use. More of them in Part 2 of this article.
In addition to the features of the iPhone , there are additional features that enhance the capabilities of the iPhone.
Wireless Capabilities
The Apple iPhone is a quad band GSM phone along with a 802.11g/b Wi-Fi. It supports EDGE data transfer for high-speed internet and data transfer. The Wi-Fi makes the iPhone capable of connecting to any wireless network within the range and thus the device becomes online. When connected to a local area Wi-Fi or a wide area EDGE network the iPhone is able to access the World Wide Web via a modified version of the Safari web browser. The iPhone has a built-in Bluetooth 2.x+EDR supports wireless earpieces, but it does not support stereo audio, laptop tethering, or the OBEX file transfer protocol.
Stylish
For a simple person the factor of style might not mean as much, but for even a moderately style conscious person, the looks of the iPhone would matter a lot. Not because you would be conscious to carry a slightly duller version, but because the iPhone is really so stylish that you would want to carry it in transparent pockets and show it off. It is not only the look of the gadget that is amazing, but also the display that can be a neighbor’s envy. Owing to the vibrant colors and the clear display you won’t just like to carry the Apple iPhone; even using it often would be a pleasure.
Web Browsing
The Apple iPhone uses Apple’s Safari Browser and displays web pages in their full form. The display can be turned from vertical to horizontal according to your choice. In order to zoom in on any part, you simply have to double tap a portion of the screen. As compared with other gadgets, the Apple iPhone allows you to view your emails in HTML instead of the plain test emails. This enables the user to embed photos in an e-mail message. PDF, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Excel attachments to the emails can be viewed on the iPhone. With the correct settings, the e-mail program can check many web based accounts such as Gmail, Mac mail, Yahoo, and AOL. You can also watch Google maps on your iPhone. Now that is an amazing feature, much to the relief of many who have a bad road sense.
iTunes
The iPhone comes in two versions. They are the 8GB and 16GB versions. The 4GB version has now been discontinued. It supports a music interface that allows you to store a bit of music that you require to keep occupied and for entertainment, though your complete music collection cannot be carried in it. You can also watch videos on the Apple iPhone. The videos can be watched on the complete wide screen. The iPhone is fully compatible with iTunes and this adds to its merits.
Widgets
Widgets allow you to do a lot of your minor and major tasks with immense ease. You can check the weather, check stocks, check flight timings etc. Implementation of Widgets into the iPhone is a welcome feature for Mac users.
