ringing

The final version of the Apple iPhone (above) is surprisingly similar to the rashbre lab reconstruction(below).

But then the lab did have the Apple patent to work from. Need to wait until June before they are available in the High Street.


The iPhone uses technology called Multitouch instead of a keyboard or pointer, and runs Mac OS X, which is also used on modern Macs and is a Unix variant. Predictably is has iTunes synchronisation and the full range of browser, email and similar applications. The 11.6mm thick device features a wide screen 3.5-inch, 160 dot-per-inch colour screen.

Along one side, there is a ring/silent switch and volume controls. On the silver back is a 2 megapixel digital camera. The bottom features a speaker, microphone, and iPod dock connector.

The quad-band iPhone has wifi and bluetooth and also incorporates a proximity sensor that deactivates the screen and turns off the touch sensor when the device is lifted to the face. It behaves like an iPod and supports video as well as contact scrolling for phone contacts.

The iPhone's text messaging looks like iChat and a touch keyboard appears on the screen below. Apple has also included its Safari Web browser and a version of Mail as well as a variation of dashboard widgets.
