Why Buy An iPhone?

• Touch Screen

The 3.5 inch (8.9 cm) liquid crystal display (320×480 px at 160 ppi) HVGA touch screen topped with optical-quality glass[10] is specifically created for use with a finger, or multiple fingers for multi-touch sensing. No stylus is needed, nor can an ordinary one be used, as the touch screen requires touch by something with the physical properties of bare skin to operate.[


• Media

The layout of the music library differs from previous iPods, with the sections divided more clearly alphabetically, and with a larger font. The Cover Flow, like that on iTunes, shows the different album covers in a scroll-through photo library. Scrolling is achieved by swiping a finger across the screen


• Internet

The iPhone has built-in Wi-Fi, with which it is able to access the Internet (through a wireless network) via a modified version of the Safari web browser.


• OS X

Apple has confirmed an optimized version of the Mac OS X operating system (without unnecessary components) runs on the iPhone.
