From the time of its proclamation, the whole world has been asking several questions about the Apple iPhone. Looking at the past records of the company, it was no surprise that the entire world was waiting for this amazing new technology with bated breath. And yes, when it was released the iPhone did offer some amazing features along with a creative and innovative design but somehow it left a desire for more. But that again does not mean that this phone is not noteworthy, it definitely is a sleek and smart device that offers with top-of-the-line video and music features with small innovative touches here and there, which gives it an edge.
The design of this Apple iPhone is truly head turning. It offers great displays and provides with a lack of buttons that creates a whole new design class difficult to match. This phone is definitely an eye-catcher, and this would have been true even if it had not got all the media attention. It is thin, slim and the best part is that the display is glass that is so much more sophisticated than plastic. The iPhone also provides brilliant, colorful, and sharp displays.
Staying true to the Apple style, the phone comes with an attractive and easy to use menu interface. All the features can be easily found and fluid animation makes it easier to switch between different functions. Although everyone was skeptical about the efficiency of the touch screen, you would find that it is quite easy to handle. You can easily activate functions and interact with the menu with the help of your finger. But the keyboard and the interface would require some more enhancements to reach the topmost level of greatness.
However, the iPhone does offer its user remarkable multitouch technology that makes it very simple and easy to manipulate things on the screen. Also, the phone comes with a hardware menu button that definitely comes in handy; also, it has a multifunction button on top that can be used to control calls and the power of the device.
Unfortunately, the Apple iPhone does not have a battery that can be replaced by the user; it needs to be sent back to the company for a replacement. Although a removable battery is not required, it would have been a nice addition to the package. The phone book is limited and although you cannot store callers to groups, you would be able to store friends to a favorite menu for quick access. It also offers all the standard features like calculator, stopwatch, notepad, alarm clock, timer, and world clock.
The iPhone provides wireless functionality that supports Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. It is especially helpful to have Wi-Fi as it is missing on many smart phones. The Bluetooth 2.0 delivers quicker transmission than Bluetooth 1.2 and you can even use for voice calls. The iPhone offers e-mail menu that includes support for Gmail, AOL, Yahoo, and Mac accounts. It also offers way to connect with your VPN.
The Apple iPhone provides with the most amazing iPod with an integrated speaker. Even though watching videos on the phone is not very luxurious but it takes full advantage of the wide screen. Also, the Safari browser provided by the phone sets it apart from its competition. The iPhone also has a built-in Google Map application.
The phone offers many other features as well, no doubt, it is a great phone, but it has its downsides. The iPhone is impressive, it is the start of good things to come from Apple, and we do hope of better and more amazing technology next time around.
