The iPhone’s functions include:
- camera phone

It is a quad-band mobile phone that uses the GSM standard; hence, international capability. It supports the Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) data technology.
Following the success of iPod, Apple announced the iPhone in January 2007. The announcement was preceded by rumors and speculations that circulated for several months. The iPhone was introduced, first in the US, with much media frenzy — and then in the UK, Germany and France.
It was named Time magazine’s “Invention of the Year” in 2007.
A new version of Apple’s iPhone will be introduced in 2008 that is capable of operating on faster 3G cellular networks.
