iPhone
iPhone review from CNET EditorsFrom the moment that Apple announced its iPhone at
MacWorld 2007, the tech world has hasn't stopped asking questions. Because Apple has kept

iPhone pretty? Absolutely. Is it easy to use? Certainly. Does it live up to the stratospheric hype?
Not so much. Read our full, rated review of the iPhone for the whole story.

See all Apple iPhone tips and tricksApple iPhone shoppingApple's hugely anticipated iPhone is
finally a reality. As expected, it makes calls and supports a digital-music player that syncs with
iTunes. The thin design is dominated by a vivid touch screen that showcases videos and photos
beautifully. You'll also note a lack of buttons and controls as all menu navigation and data entry
from typing messages to dialing phone numbers is done on the touch screen. Other features
include quad-band world phone support, a 2-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, stereo Bluetooth, a
speakerphone, e-mail and a Safari Web browser. Memory caps out at 8MB and there's no 3G
support or wireless downloads, but the iPhone will garner interest simply because it exists. It's
available June 29, exclusively from AT&T, for $499 or $599 depending on the memory size.
Apple iPhone (8GB)
Learn about the iPhoneThe Apple iPhone is three devices in one: a cell phone, a wide-screen iPod with touch controls,
and an Internet communications device. AT&T (formerly Cingular) is the lucky carrier in the
United States.
Both Apple and AT&T stores started selling the iPhone on June 29. Europe will get it in the fourth
quarter, and Asia will have to wait until next year. The 4GB iPhone costs $499 with a two-year
contract and $599 for the 8GB version (also with a two-year contract).
As usual with Apple gear, the iPhone breaks some design boundaries. Say goodbye to traditional
cell phone buttons; the iPhone is all touch screen, all the time. With only one hardware control (a
Home key), iPhone's real estate is dominated by a huge, 3.5-inch display. Inside you'll find an
iPod music and video player, a full Safari Web browser, a 2-megapixel camera and integrated
support for Google Maps. And yes, it makes calls too. Read our full, rated iPhone review for the
whole story.
