iPhone Features

Calls
With iPhone, making a call is as simple as touching a name or number. In addition, you can easily construct a favourites list for your most most frequently called numbers and quickly merge calls to create conference calls.

SMS
iPhone includes an SMS application with an intelligent QWERTY soft keyboard that prevents and corrects mistakes, making it easier and more efficient to use than the small plastic keyboards on many smartphones. iPhone also displays SMS messages as an ongoing chat, and lets you send a text message to multiple people at the same time.

VOICEMAIL
An industry first, Visual Voicemail allows you to go directly to any of your messages without listening to the prior messages. So you can quickly select the messages that are most important to you.

MUSIC
With iPhone, you see music in a whole new way. You can scroll through your songs, artists, albums and playlists with just a flick of a finger. Browse your music library by album artwork using Cover Flow. And even view song lyrics that you’ve added to your library in iTunes.

VIDEO
The stunning 3.5-inch widescreen display is the ultimate way to watch TV shows and music videos from the iTunes Store on a pocketable device. Just tap the touch controls to play, pause, view by chapter or adjust the volume.

Wi-Fi Store
The iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPhone puts a music superstore in your pocket. Just find a Wi-Fi hot spot, tap the iTunes button, and you can browse, preview, buy and download music on the go. All the music you get while you’re out syncs back to the iTunes library on your computer when you dock your iPhone.

INTERNET
With its advanced Safari browser, iPhone lets you see web pages the way they were designed to be seen. Zoom in on a page by tapping on the multi-touch display with your finger. Create Web Clips that appear on your Home screen for one-tap access to your favourite websites and web apps. And customise up to nine Home screen pages to organise your Web Clips.

MAIL
iPhone uses a rich HTML email client that fetches your email in the background from most POP3 or IMAP mail services and displays photos and graphics right along with the text.

MAPS
The amazing iPhone Maps application approximates your location using mobile phone tower information and enabled local Wi-Fi networks. Drop a pin on a map, then move it to a specific location to get directions or find nearby points of interest. View Hybrid maps that display major street names over satellite imagery. Even check real-time traffic information. All with the remarkable, easy-to-use multi-touch interface on iPhone.

WIDGETS
iPhone even has widgets: small applications that give you helpful information like stock reports, weather reports and more.

YOUTUBE
iPhone has a special YouTube player that you can launch right from the home screen. So you can access and browse YouTube videos wherever you go. And when you find a video you want to send to your friends, iPhone can even create an email with the link in it for you.

MULTI-TOUCH
With its large multi-touch display and innovative new software, iPhone lets you control everything using only your fingers. You can type using the predictive keyboard, glide through albums with Cover Flow, scroll through photos with a flick or zoom in and out on a section of a web page — all with the iPhone multi-touch display.

OSX
iPhone uses OS X, the world’s most advanced operating system. Which means you have access to the best-ever software on a handheld device, including rich HTML email, full-featured web browsing and favourite applications including Address Book and Calendar. iPhone is also fully multitasking, so you can read a web page while downloading your email in the background. This software completely redefines what you can do with a mobile phone.

WIRELESS
iPhone uses quad-band GSM, the global standard for wireless communications. It also supports O2’s EDGE network, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR, which links to Apple’s compact Bluetooth headset. When you move around, iPhone automatically switches between EDGE and Wi-Fi to provide the fastest data connection possible. To set up your own Wi-Fi network, check out the AirPort Extreme Base Station.



ACCELEROMETER
The accelerometer detects when you rotate iPhone from portrait to landscape, then automatically changes the contents of the display, so you immediately see the entire width of a web page or a photo in its proper landscape aspect ratio.

PROXIMITY SENSOR
When you lift iPhone to your ear, the proximity sensor immediately turns off the display to save power and prevent inadvertent touches until iPhone is moved away. Another power-saving feature is the ambient light sensor. This intelligent sensor automatically adjusts the display’s brightness to the appropriate level for the current ambient light.
