  • Facts
  • The minimal hardware that characterises the iPhone does not account for a keyboard, as a result, the device renders a virtual keyboard on it’s screen that is touch sensitive
  • There are many applications iPhone users can download for use on their device, ranging from online mobile banking, to sports scores updates, to daily crosswords.
  • Photos can be both taken by the in-built camera and displayed on the screen in both portrait, and widescreen landscape format.
  • While the first two iPhones had only still-photo cameras, the iPhone 3G S has video recording capabilities, as well as the ability to cut and crop the captured video.
