The iPhone is a smart phone developed by Apple. It is currently one of the newest types of phones available on the market (except for notably the Google Android). Ever since it was introduced in 2007, the iPhone has gotten tremendous support from personal and business users. One of the main reasons for its success is the high performing hardware and completely new and intuitively designed operating system.
The iPhone operating system is vaguely based on Mac OS X, but applications must be specifically made for the iPhone to run. The operating system is well integrated with that hardware to allow smooth 3D animations that many would agree make the iPhone “cool”. The operating system was designed specifically with a phone in mind so unlike Windows Mobile, it is not meant to resemble any pre-existing system.
The iPhone comes bundled with many applications including texting, calendar, mail, photos, maps, a music and video player, note taking, and a web browser. One of the most highly regarded applications of the iPhone is the Safari browser because it is currently the most powerful web browser for mobile devices. Unlike many of its competitors, the iPhone is able to smoothly display entire web pages that look almost the same as if they were displayed on a PC. The mail client on the iPhone is able to integrate well with Microsoft Exchange email servers allowing business users to easily connect to their work email.
Apple released a software development kit to allow software developers to write software for the iPhone. All software distributed for the iPhone must appear in the Apple Store which is completely regulated by Apple. This has raised many concerns and complaints especially since Apple has used its regulatory power of the Apple Store to ban applications which compete with its software. The software development kit provided by apple is also not as easy to use as Microsoft’s Visual Studio for Windows Mobile. Nevertheless, thousands of applications have been written for the iPhone and are not available in the Apple Store.
This information is mainly about the iPhone. It can be incorporated in the paper as a description of the iPhone and to contrast it against other types of phones. The paragraphs about Operating systems and development can be placed in paragraphs inside the white paper and the iPhone applications will be displayed as a table to compare that compares them against applications of other types of phones.
