Apple Iphone Mobile Phone Review
Unless you have been living under a rock for the last year or so you will be familiar with the iPhone from Apple - but does the iPhone live up to the hype? Let’s find out by doing a full iPhone review.
Well, no iPhone review would be complete without mentioning the appearance, first impressions are important and the Iphone impresses immediately with its large clear screen and uncluttered appearance with just a home button and earpiece visible on the front on the phone. On the top of the phone you have the power button, 3.5mm headphone jack (which is not compatible with many types of headphones as the socket has an unusually deep recess) and sim card slot (to remove sim card you need a paperclip or tsmall screwdriver to insert into a tiny hole as opposed to a simple release button!) The left hand side of the unit features the silencer switch and volume controls and all you can see on the back is the camera lens. This is a super sexy mobile phone which has spurned many lookalikes from competitors. Measuring 115mm x 61mm x 11.6mm and weighing in at just 135 grams, the iPhone manages somehow to be sleek and substantial at the same time.
One thing you will find in common with any iPhone review is that using the iPhone is a joy, all applications open with the touch of a finger on that classy touch-sensitive 320 x 480 pixel screen interface,, which will be familiar to all Apple mac users as it’s based on the Apple OS X design. This mobile is really many devices rolled into one - a widescreen iPod, mobile phone and internet communications device all wrapped up in a sleek, modern package.
The iPhone ships with either 4 Gbyte or 8 Gbyte of memory. Unusually, this smartphone comes with a sealed fitted battery which allows up to 16 hours use as a music player and 5 hours of call or internet browsing time.
The built in music player is awesome, with touch screen music controls to play, pause, rewind & fast forward music while viewing album cover artwork on the screen. Finding your favourite tracks is easy with a search facility allowing search by song, album, artist or play list. I think you will struggle to find an iPhone review that does not praise the music capabilities of this smartphone.
Slick camera and video features are provided allowing easy capture of still photographs and moving video footage. The camera itself lacks many of configuration options seen on other phones but the advanced photo management application provides everything you need to get a near perfect finish. Video playback is supported in all popular formats with touch screen video controls for play, pause, chapter fast forward, chapter rewind and volume. You can even watch your favourite TV shows and movies on the move!
