With the popularity, you can assume everyone's at the very least heard about it. What does the Apple iphone feature and what can it do?
1: Multi-Touch Technology
The most outstanding feature is the iPhone's radical multi-touch screen. The MT screen permits any mechanical button to appear on this high tech toy. It simply allows you to use your fingers to operate it. This is contrary to any other phone today, which either have mechanical keyboards or a stylus.
By tapping the screen with your finger, you can navigate menus, dial phone numbers, write e-mail messages and similarly use the entire functionality of the famous gadget. The three-point-five-inch screen displays a keyboard for inputting text via multi-touch. Most consumers are seemingly skeptical about typing with the virtual keyboard, but Apple has predicted the common problems and has made sure the iphone was constructed with features such as automatic spell check and word prediction, as well as an improved customizable dictionary. In addition, the iphone addresses the problems of typos generally recognized to multi-touch use by adding self-correction capabilities.
When scrolling, the typical wheel isn't found at the side of the gadget. The multi-touch screen functionality allows its owner to scroll by dragging a finger in the desired path. The speed of scrolling is intended to be proportional to the speed of which you drag your finger.
The multi-touch feature furthermore enables several more functions such as multi-touch sensing for magnifying or reducing photos as well as web pages. Utilizing this feature, you can regulate object size merely by placing two fingers at the side of the object and then moving them, by dragging, either further apart or closer to one another. This feature does not distort photos because images are initially scaled in accordance to its original dimensions in the first place.
Without doubt, the iphone is more intelligent than any cell phone these days.
2: Revolutionary Sensors

The accelerometer sensor provides the ability to pick up on any changes in the iPhones positioning. ...The iPhone's screen display will actually rotate to portrait or landscape, whilst still packing its contents into the 3.5-inch screen. Since it changes the view in accordance to ratio, images are not distorted among web pages, videos, or photos.
The proximity sensors.
These high-tech features detect the location of the iphone regarding the skin. When you make a call and hold the iphone against your ear, the display will automatically set to standby. This is important in that it serves 2 basic functions.
One, by shutting off the display when not necessarily needed, this saves your battery's life. In addition, this prevents accidental touches to the screen, which could normally be sensitive. The moment the cell phone is moved away from your face, the proximity sensors react in this way.
Ambient light sensor.
Through the AL sensor, changes in the phone's environment are detected and instantaneously adjust the display's brightness. Your iPhone's display will always be well adjusted regarding lighting.
3: Mac OS X Operating System
The hype behind the Apple iphone increased when Mac fans found out the Mac OS X would be included. The Mac OS X is the operating system inside the latest Apple computers. On the other hand, the electronic doesn't have the full functionality of the operating system. The entire OS X is too big to fit within the 4GB or 8GB internal memory.
