The Apple iPhone is a slim 11.6 millimeters and sports a 3.5-inch, 160dpi touch screen, along with a 2 megapixel camera, a headset jack, built-in speaker and microphone, and an iPod dock connector on the bottom. The phone sports built-in volume controls, a sleep/wake button on top. A proximity sensor turns off the screen when users hold the phone to their heads; automatic orientation adjustment switches on the fly between portrait and landscape modes. But other than that, the iPhone boasts virtually no dedicated controls: instead, everything is driven using a new (patented) multitouch touch-screen, which Jobs claimed to be far more accurate than previous touch-sensitive displays and which puts the iPhone at least five years ahead of competitors. Users control phone functions via a Dashboard-like interface; all phone and application interfaces take place on the touchscreen.The iPhone uses Mac OS X, tapping into Apples mainstream operating system for power management, networking, security, and applications—as well as the Macintoshs renowned development community, all of whom will potentially be able to develop desktop-class applications for the iPhone. |
