Touring the outside of the iPhone

Checking out the iPhone’s apps

Congratulations. You’ve selected one of the most incredible handheld devices we’ve ever seen. Of course, the iPhone is one heck of a wireless telephone, but it’s actually four handheld devices in one. At least it’s four devices right out of the box. Add some iPhone apps, and your iPhone becomes a PDA, an e-book reader, a handheld gaming device, a memory jogger, an exercise assistant, and ever so much more. We discuss optional apps — how to obtain, install, and delete them — throughout the book and particularly in Chapters 15, 17, and 18.

For now, we focus on the four awesome handheld devices your iPhone is the day you take it out of the box. In addition to being an excellent cellphone, the iPhone is a gorgeous widescreen video iPod, a fantastic 8-megapixel camera/camcorder, as well as a tiny-yet-powerful Internet communications device.

In this chapter, we offer a gentle introduction to all four devices that make up your iPhone, plus overviews of its revolutionary hardware and software features.

The Big Picture

The iPhone has many best-of-class features, but perhaps its most unusual feature is the lack of a physical keyboard or stylus. Instead, it has a super-high-resolution (326 pixels per inch for all but the iPhone 6 Plus, which has an astonishing 401 pixels per inch) touchscreen that you operate using a pointing device you’re already intimately familiar with: your finger.

And what a display it is. We venture that you’ve never seen a more beautiful screen on a handheld device in your life.

Another feature that still knocks our socks off is the iPhone’s built-in sensors. An accelerometer detects when you rotate the device from portrait to landscape mode and adjusts what’s on the display accordingly. A proximity sensor detects when the iPhone gets near your face, so it can turn off the display to save power and prevent accidental touches by your cheek. A light sensor adjusts the display’s brightness in response to the current ambient lighting situation. The iPhone even has a gyroscope for advanced motion sensing and includes GPS sensors so your phone can determine where in the world you are.

The M7 or M8 motion coprocessor on the iPhone 5s or both iPhone 6 models, respectively, reduces the burden on the main A7 (iPhone 5s) or A8 (iPhone 6 and 6 Plus) processor by collecting motion data from the accelerometer, gyroscope, and compass and passing it to apps that need it without engaging the A7 or A8 chip. In addition, the M7 and M8 use significantly less power than the A7 or A8 would require, improving battery life. You can’t tell us that isn’t cool! Our favorite example of the motion coprocessor at work is that our iPhones rarely ask if we want to join a Wi-Fi network when we’re in a moving car.

In this section, we take a brief look at some of the iPhone’s features, broken down by product category.

The iPhone as a phone and a digital camera or camcorder

On the phone side, the iPhone synchronizes with the contacts and calendars on your Mac or PC, as well as contacts and events on iCloud, Google, Yahoo!, and Facebook. It includes a full-featured QWERTY soft, or virtual, keyboard, which makes typing text easier than ever before — for some folks. Granted, the virtual keyboard takes a bit of time to get used to. But we think that many of you eventually will be whizzing along at a much faster pace than you thought possible on a mobile keyboard of this type.

The 8-megapixel camera is now paired with iOS 8’s improved Camera and Photos apps, so taking and managing digital photos and videos on your iPhone is a pleasure rather than the nightmare it can be on other phones. Plus, you can automatically synchronize iPhone photos and videos with the digital photo library on your Mac or PC. (Okay, we wish the iPhone 4s and 5c took better photos and shot better video.) The iPhone 5s camera is still pretty good, with better optics, a larger sensor, bigger pixels, image stabilization, tone flash, and 33 percent better light sensitivity than the iPhone 5 and 5c cameras.

The iPhone 6 camera is even better. Of course, both iPhone 6 models include all the iPhone 5s camera features, but both also feature Apple’s new Autofocus with focus pixels, which help prevent out-of-focus pictures. The iPhone 6 Plus also has one of the coolest new features we’ve seen on any camera-in-a-phone: optical image stabilization, which uses data from the A8 chip, gyroscope, and M8 motion coprocessor to measure camera motion when you’re shooting. It then provides precise lens movement to compensate for shaky hands in low light. The result is the best low-light photos we’ve seen from any iPhone.

Another of our favorite phone accouterments is visual voicemail. (Try saying that three times fast.) This feature lets you see a list of voicemail messages and choose which ones to listen to or delete without being forced to deal with every message in your voice mailbox in sequential order. Now, that’s handy!

Finally, all iPhone models come with Siri, an intelligent voice-controlled assistant that understands what you tell him or her (most of the time). We say “him or her” because iOS 7 introduced an optional man’s voice for Siri (see Chapter 5). Regardless of which gender you choose, Siri can figure out what you mean and determine which (if any) iPhone app should be used to find the right answer. And, like a real personal assistant, Siri replies in a natural sounding human voice. One last thing: Both flavors of Siri take dictation!

If you’ve tried voice control before, forget everything you’ve learned and give Siri a try. We think you’ll be as impressed as we are (as long as you have a good Internet connection when you try it — Siri can be close to useless if your connection is slow). We’ve mentioned just the highlights of the iPhone’s superb set of features. But because we still have the entire book ahead of us, we’ll put the extended coverage on hold for now (pun intended).

The iPhone as an iPod

We agree with the late Steve Jobs on this one: The iPhone is a better iPod than any iPod Apple has ever made. (Okay, we can quibble about the iPod touch and the iPad, as well as wanting more storage, but you know what we mean.) You can enjoy all your existing iPod content — music, audiobooks, audio and video podcasts, iTunes U courses, music videos, television shows, and movies — on the iPhone’s gorgeous high-resolution color display, which is bigger, brighter, and richer than any iPod display that came before it.

Bottom line: If you can get the content — be it video, audio, or whatever — into iTunes on your Mac or PC, you can synchronize it and watch or listen to it on your iPhone.

The iPhone as an Internet communications device

But wait — there’s more! Not only is the iPhone a great phone and a stellar iPod, but it’s also a full-featured Internet communications device with — we’re about to drop a bit of industry jargon on you — a rich HTML email client that’s compatible with most POP and IMAP mail services, with support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. (For more on this topic, see Chapter 12.) Also on board is Safari, a world-class web browser that, unlike on most other phones, makes web surfing fun and easy.

Another cool Internet feature is Maps. By using GPS, Maps can determine your location, let you view maps and satellite imagery, and obtain driving directions and traffic information for much of the United States. You can also find businesses such as gas stations, pizza joints, hospitals, and Apple Stores with just a few taps. And the Compass app not only displays your current GPS coordinates but also orients Maps to show the direction you’re facing.

You might also enjoy using Stocks, an included app that delivers near real-time stock quotes and charts any time and any place, or Weather, another included app that obtains and displays the weather forecast for as many cities as you like.

The Internet experience on an iPhone is far superior to the Internet experience on any other handheld device we’ve seen, except the iPad. (Technically, we’d call a full-sized iPad a “two-hands-held device” because it’s difficult to hold in one hand for more than a few minutes. But we digress.)

Technical specifications

One last thing before we proceed. Here’s a list of everything you need before you can actually use your iPhone:

• An iPhone
• In the United States, a wireless contract with AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, one of the smaller carriers, such as C Spire or Cricket, or a contract-free T-Mobile or other service
• An Apple ID
• Internet access (required) — broadband wireless Internet access recommended

In addition, we think you’ll find that many tasks are faster and easier if you perform them on a computer with iTunes instead of on your iPhone’s much smaller screen — although you don’t technically need a computer to use your iPhone. And some tasks, such as reordering Home screens, can only be accomplished in iTunes.

If you decide to introduce your iPhone to your computer (and we recommend it for anyone who has a computer), here’s what’s required:

• For Macs: A Mac with a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port, OS X 10.6.8 or later, and iTunes 11.1 or later
• For Windows: A PC with a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port; Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later; and iTunes 11.1 or later (free download at www.itunes.com/download)

One last thing: Although the preceding specifications are correct, if you want to use iCloud (and you probably will), the system requirements are somewhat more stringent: For Macs you’ll need OS X 10.7.5 or later, and for PCs you’ll need Windows 7 or Windows 8.

A Quick Tour Outside

The iPhone is a harmonious combination of hardware and software. In this section, we take a brief look at what’s on the outside. In the next section, we peek at the software.

On the top and side

On the top of your iPhone 4s, you’ll find a microphone, the sleep/wake button, and the headset jack. The top of all iPhone 5 models has only the sleep/wake button, and the top of both iPhone 6 models is as smooth as a baby’s bottom, as shown in Figure 1-1. If you have an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus, your sleep/wake button is on the side. For all models, the SIM card tray is on one side, and the ring/silent switch and volume buttons are on the other side. We describe these elements more fully in the following list:

• Microphone: Used for FaceTime calls and noise suppression during phone calls.
• SIM card tray: The SIM card tray is where you remove or replace the SIM card inside your iPhone.

  A SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card is a removable smart card used to identify mobile phones. Users can change phones by moving the SIM card from one phone to another — kind of. The iPhone 4s uses a micro-SIM, while all iPhone 5 and 6 models use a smaller version called a nano-SIM. And, of course, they’re not compatible.

• Sleep/wake button: This button is used to lock or unlock your iPhone and to turn your iPhone on or off. When your iPhone is locked, you can still receive calls and text messages, but nothing happens if you touch its screen. When your iPhone is turned off, all incoming calls go directly to voicemail.
• Headset jack (iPhone 4s only): The headset jack on the iPhone 4s lets you plug in the included iPhone headset, which looks a lot like white iPod earbuds. Unlike iPod earbuds, however, the iPhone headset has a microphone so that you can talk as well as listen.
• Ring/silent switch: This switch, which is on the left side of your iPhone, lets you quickly swap ring mode and silent mode. When the switch is set to ring mode — the up position, with no orange showing on the switch — your iPhone plays all sounds through the speaker on the bottom. When the switch is set to silent mode — the down position, with orange visible on the switch — your iPhone doesn’t make a sound when you receive a call or when an alert pops up on the screen.

  Silent mode is overridden, however, by alarms you set in the built-in Clock app, iPod audio, and selecting sounds such as ringtones and alert sounds in the Settings app.

  If your phone is set to ring mode and you want to silence it quickly, press the sleep/wake button on the top of the iPhone or press one of the volume buttons.

• Volume buttons: Two volume buttons are just below the ring/silent switch. The upper button increases the volume; the lower one decreases it. You use the volume buttons to raise or lower the loudness of the ringer, alerts, sound effects, songs, and movies. And during phone calls, the buttons adjust the voice loudness of the person you’re speaking with, regardless of whether you’re listening through the receiver, the speakerphone, or a headset.

On the bottom

On the bottom of your iPhone, you’ll find the microphone, the dock connector or Lightning connector, the speaker, and the headset jack (on the iPhone 5 and 6 models), as shown in Figure 1-2:

• Headset jack (iPhone 5 and 6 models): The headset jack lets you plug in the included iPhone headset, which looks a lot like EarPods but with an elliptical shape.
• Microphone: The microphone lets callers hear your voice when you’re not using a headset.

  The iPhone 4s has two microphones (top and bottom); iPhone 5 and 6 models sport three (top front, top back, and bottom). The top ones are used for FaceTime calls and also work with the main mic (located on the bottom) to suppress unwanted and distracting background sounds on phone calls using dual-mic noise suppression or beam-forming technology.

• Lightning connector: The Lightning connector (dock connector on the iPhone 4s) has three purposes. One, you can use it to recharge your iPhone’s battery. Simply connect one end of the included Lightning–connector–to–USB cable to the iPhone and the other end to the USB power adapter. Two, you can use the port to synchronize. Connect one end of the cable to the port on your iPhone and the other end to a USB port on your Mac or PC. And three, you can use the Lightning or dock connector port to connect your iPhone to other devices, such as a camera or television using an adapter such as the Camera Connection Kit or one of Apple’s A/V adapter cables.
• Speaker: The speaker is used by the iPhone’s built-in speakerphone and plays audio — music or video soundtracks — if no headset is plugged in. It also plays the ringtone you hear when you receive a call.

On the front

On the front of your iPhone, you’ll find the following (labeled in Figure 1-3):

• Camera: The camera on the front of the iPhone is tuned for FaceTime, so it has just the right field of view and focal length to focus on your face at arm’s length, which presents you in the best possible light.
• Receiver: The receiver is the speaker that the iPhone uses for telephone calls. It naturally sits close to your ear whenever you hold your iPhone in the “talking on the phone” position.

  You should be the only one who hears sound coming from the receiver. If you have the volume set above about 50 percent and you’re in a location with little or no background noise, someone standing nearby may be able to hear the sound, too. So be careful.

  If you require privacy during phone calls, use the included Apple headset (or any compatible third-party wired or wireless headset — as discussed in Chapter 14).

• Status bar: The status bar displays important information, as you’ll discover in a page or two.
• Touchscreen: You find out how to use the iPhone’s gorgeous high-resolution color touchscreen in Chapter 2. All we have to say at this time is … try not to drool all over it.
• Home button (and Touch ID sensor on the iPhone 5s, 6, and 6 Plus): No matter what you’re doing, you can press the Home button at any time to display the Home screen, which is the screen shown in Figure 1-3. If you’re using an iPhone 5s, 6, or 6 Plus, its Touch ID sensor can use your fingerprint to unlock the phone (see Chapter 2).
• App icons: Each icon on the (first) Home screen launches an included iPhone app or one you’ve acquired from the App Store. Note that the Newsstand icon is a folder. (Folders are explained in Chapter 2 and Newsstand is described in Chapter 15.)

  

On the back

On the back of your iPhone is a camera lens. It’s the little circle in the top-left corner. The iPhone also has a little LED (or a pair of little LEDs on iPhone 5 and 6 models) next to the camera lens for use as a flash for still photos, as a floodlight for videos, and as a flashlight (turn it on and off in Control Center). For more on using the camera and shooting videos, see Chapters 9 and 10, respectively; for more on the flashlight and Control Center, see Chapter 5.

Finally, iPhone 5 and 6 models have a third microphone on the back (refer to Figure 1-1).

Status bar

The status bar, which is at the top of every Home screen and displayed by many (if not most) apps, displays tiny icons that provide a variety of information about the current state of your iPhone:

• Cell signal: The strength of the cellular signal. The cell signal icon tells you whether you’re within range of your wireless telephone carrier’s cellular network and therefore can make and receive calls. The more filled circles you see (five is the highest), the stronger the cellular signal. If you’re out of range, the circles are replaced with the words No Service. And if your iPhone is looking for a cellular signal, the circles are replaced with Searching.

  If your screen shows only one or two filled circles, try moving around a little bit. Even walking a few feet can sometimes mean the difference between no service and three or four filled circles.

• Airplane mode: All wireless features of your iPhone — the cellular, 4G, 3G, GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), and EDGE networks, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth — are turned off. You’re allowed to use your iPod on a plane after the captain gives the word. But you can’t use your cellphone except when the plane is in the gate area before takeoff or after landing. Fortunately, your iPhone offers an airplane mode, which turns off all wireless features of your iPhone and makes it possible to enjoy music or video during your flight.

  Some flights now offer on-board Wi-Fi. If you’re on such a flight, you can turn on Wi-Fi even when airplane mode is enabled. Just don’t turn it on until the captain says it’s okay.

• LTE (iPhone 5 and later): Your wireless carrier’s high-speed LTE network is available.
• 4G: Your wireless carrier’s high-speed UMTS network is available.
• 3G: Your wireless carrier’s high-speed 3G data network is available and your iPhone can connect to the Internet via 3G.
• EDGE: Your wireless carrier’s slower EDGE (Enhanced Datarate for GSM Evolution) network is available and you can use it to connect to the Internet.
• GPRS/1xRTT: Your wireless carrier’s slower GPRS data network is available and your iPhone can use it to connect to the Internet.
• Wi-Fi: Your iPhone is connected to the Internet over a Wi-Fi network. The more semicircular lines you see (up to three), the stronger the Wi-Fi signal. If your screen displays only one or two semicircles of Wi-Fi strength, try moving around a bit. If you don’t see the Wi-Fi icon in the status bar, Internet access is not currently available.

  Wireless (that is, cellular) carriers may offer one of four data networks. The fastest are the so-called 4th generation networks such as LTE and 4G UMTS; the next fastest is 3G; and the slowest are EDGE and GPRS. The device looks for the fastest available network. If it can’t find one, it looks for a slower network.

  Wi-Fi networks, however, are even faster than any cellular data network. So all iPhones will connect to a Wi-Fi network if one is available, even if a 4G, 3G, GPRS, or EDGE network is also available.

  Last but not least, if you don’t see one of these icons — LTE, 4G, 3G, GPRS, EDGE, or Wi-Fi — you don’t currently have Internet access.

• Wi-Fi call: Your iPhone is making a call over Wi-Fi.
• Do Not Disturb: The Do Not Disturb feature (see Chapter 4) is enabled.
• Personal Hotspot: The iPhone is providing a personal hotspot connection to another iPhone or another device.
• Syncing: Your iPhone is syncing with iTunes.
• Network activity: Some network activity is occurring, such as over-the-air synchronization, sending or receiving email, or loading a web page. Some third-party apps use this icon to indicate network or other activity.
• Call forwarding: Call forwarding is enabled on your iPhone.
• VPN: Your iPhone is currently connected to a virtual private network (VPN).
• TTY: Your iPhone is set up to work with a teletype (TTY) machine, which is used by those who are hearing- or speech-impaired. You need an optional Apple iPhone TTY Adapter (suggested retail price $19) to connect your iPhone to a TTY machine.
• Portrait orientation lock: The iPhone screen is locked in portrait orientation. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal Control Center and then tap the portrait orientation lock icon to lock your screen in portrait orientation.
• Alarm: You’ve set one or more alarms in the Clock app.
• Location Services: An application is using Location Services, a topic we discuss in Chapter 13.
• Bluetooth: The icon displays the current state of your iPhone’s Bluetooth connection. If the icon is blue, Bluetooth is on and a device (such as a wireless headset or car kit) is connected. If the icon is gray, Bluetooth is turned on but no device is connected. If you don’t see a Bluetooth icon, Bluetooth is turned off. Chapter 14 goes into more detail about Bluetooth.
• Bluetooth battery: A tiny battery icon next to the Bluetooth icon displays the battery level of some Bluetooth devices.
• Battery: This battery icon displays the level of your battery’s charge. The icon is completely filled with green or white when your battery is fully charged and then empties as your battery becomes depleted. You see a lightning bolt next to the icon when your iPhone is recharging.

Home Sweet Home Screen

The first page of your Home screen offers a bevy of icons, each representing a different bundled app or function. Because the rest of the book covers each and every one of these babies in full and loving detail, we merely provide brief descriptions here.

To get to the first Home screen, press the Home button. If your iPhone is asleep when you press the button, the Unlock screen appears. Once unlocked, you’ll see whichever page of icons was on the screen when it went to sleep. If that screen happens to have been the first Home screen, you’re golden. If it wasn’t, merely press the Home button again to summon your iPhone’s first (main) Home screen.

Three steps let you rearrange icons on your iPhone:

1. Press and hold down on any icon until all icons begin to jiggle.
2. Drag the icons around until you’re happy with their positions.
3. Press the Home button to save your arrangement and stop the jiggling.

The first Home screen

If you haven’t rearranged your icons, you should see the following apps on your first Home screen, starting at the top left:

• Messages: The Messages app lets you exchange text messages (SMS) and multimedia messages (MMS) with almost any other cellphone user. The app also lets you exchange Apple-exclusive iMessages with anyone using any Apple device with iOS 5 or higher (iDevice) or a Mac running Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8) or higher, as described in Chapter 6. We’ve used a lot of mobile phones in our day, and this app is as good as it gets.
• Calendar: No matter what calendar program you prefer on your Mac or PC (as long as it’s Calendar, Microsoft Entourage, Outlook, or Exchange, or the online calendars from Google or Yahoo!), you can synchronize events and alerts between your computer and your iPhone. Create an event on one, and it’s automatically synchronized with the other the next time they’re synced. Neat stuff.
• Photos: This app is the iPhone’s terrific photo manager. You can view pictures that you took with the iPhone’s built-in cameras, transferred from your computer, received through email, saved from Safari, or acquired as part of your Photo Stream. You can zoom in or out, create slideshows, email photos to friends, and much more. Other phones may let you take pictures; the iPhone lets you enjoy them in many ways.
• Camera: Use this app when you want to shoot a picture or video with one of the iPhone’s built-in cameras.
• Weather: This app monitors the six-day weather forecast for as many cities as you like.
• Clock: This program lets you see the current time in as many cities as you like, set one or more alarms for yourself, and use your iPhone as a stopwatch or a countdown timer.
• Maps: This app is among our favorites. View street maps or satellite imagery of locations around the globe, or ask for driving, walking, or public transportation directions, traffic conditions, or even the location of a nearby pizza joint.
• Videos: This handy app is the repository for your movies, TV shows, music videos, video podcasts, and some iTunes U courseware. You add videos via iTunes on your Mac or PC or by purchasing them from the iTunes Store with the iTunes app on your iPhone. Check out Chapter 10 to find out more.
• Notes: This program lets you type notes while you’re out and about. You can send the notes to yourself or anyone else through email or just save them on your iPhone until you need them.
• Reminders: This app may be the only to-do list you’ll ever need. It integrates with Calendar, Outlook, and iCloud, so to-do items and reminders sync automatically with your other devices, both mobile and desktop. You’ll read much more about this great app and its shiny location-based reminders, but you’ll have to wait until Chapter 7.
• Stocks: This app lets you monitor your favorite stocks, which are updated in near real-time.
• Game Center: This app is Apple’s social-networking app for game enthusiasts. Compare achievements, boast of your conquests and high scores, or challenge your friends to battle. You hear more about Game Center in Chapter 15.
• Newsstand: This folder is where you find publication-specific apps for magazines and newspapers. Shop for subscriptions at the App Store; you read more about Newsstand in Chapter 15.
• iTunes Store: Tap here to access the iTunes Store, where you can browse, preview, and purchase songs, albums, movies, and more.
• App Store: This icon enables you to connect to and search the iTunes App Store for iPhone apps you can purchase or download for free over a Wi-Fi or cellular data network connection.
• iBooks: Tap here to purchase and read iBooks.
• Health: This new app gathers info from fitness devices and other health apps to provide a clear and current overview of your health on an easy‑to‑read dashboard.
• Passbook: This app stores gift cards, coupons, tickets, boarding passes, and other passes in a single location.
• Settings: Use this app to adjust your iPhone’s settings. If you’re a Mac user, think System Preferences; if you’re a Windows person, think Control Panel.

The second Home screen

You probably won’t find the icons we’re about to describe on your Home screen — at least not on the first (main) one. These apps usually appear on the second Home screen (which you find out about in Chapter 2). If you just can’t wait to see them, swipe your finger across the screen from right to left and they’ll appear like magic.

Inside the Extras Folder

The first item on the second Home screen is a folder called Extras, which contains these items:

• Compass: The Compass app is kind of like having a magnetic needle compass inside your iPhone, but better.
• Tips: This new app provides tips for using your iPhone and iOS 8.
• Voice Memos: This handy little app turns your iPhone into a convenient handheld recording device.
• Contacts: This app stores information about your contacts, which can be synced with iCloud, OS X Address Book, OS X Contacts, Yahoo! Address Book, Google Contacts, Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7), Windows Address Book (Windows XP), Windows Contacts (Windows Vista or Windows 7), Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac.

Outside the Extras Folder

In addition to the Extras folder, you’ll find three more icons on the second Home screen:

• FaceTime: This app is used to make FaceTime video or voice calls to others using Apple devices.
• Calculator: The Calculator app lets you perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Give the phone a quarter turn, however, and you’ll find a nifty scientific calculator that does all that and much more.
• Podcasts: Podcasts used to be included in the Music app but was moved to this stand-alone app in iOS 7. Use it to manage and consume podcasts on your iPhone.

Finally, four icons at the bottom of the Home screen are in a special area known as the dock. When you switch Home screens (see Chapter 2), all the icons above the dock change. The four items on the dock, which follow, remain available on all Home screens:

• Phone: Tap this app icon to use the iPhone as a phone. What a concept!
• Mail: This app lets you send and receive email with most POP3 and IMAP email systems and, if you work for a company that grants permission, Microsoft Exchange accounts, too.
• Safari: Safari is your web browser. If you’re a Mac user, you know that already. If you’re a Windows user who hasn’t discovered the wonderful Safari for Windows, think Internet Explorer on steroids.
• Music: This icon unleashes all the audio power of an iPod right on your phone.

If the four apps on the dock aren’t the ones that you use most, move different apps to the dock, as described in Chapter 2.

Okay, then. Now that you and your iPhone have been properly introduced, it’s time to turn it on and actually use it. Onward!
