The Apple new iPhone was introduced to the public on January 9 2007, and marked the era for the mobile internet and multimedia enabled smartphones designed and marketed by Apple Inc. Its functions and features include the normal ones found on every other mobile phone like text messaging, web browsing, video and photo camera, portable media player but includes new ones aswell like visual voicemail, internet client with e-mail browsing using Wi-Fi connectivity. Another big difference was its battery, on a normal mobile phone anyone could change it once its considered that it needs to be replaced, the iphone's battery is not user replaceable. Removing the iphone's battery exposes its hardware and can only be carried out by they support tech staff.
The iphone was built around its innovative interface using virtual keyboard or multi touch screen, which increased its appeal to the public.

Applications ranging from interactive games to apps that output funny noises when you touch the screen, you name it they got it. The iphone has a very attractive and slim look making it at the same time a cool, must have gadget amongst teenagers. Even though its price is a bit higher then the avarage mobile phone, it worths every penny, and judging by the numbers of iphones sold everyone agrees with this.
