hey guys john here with a two-part review for you of the Apple iPhone as you see I'll get into the features of the iPhone let me tell you a little bit about the phone itself first off this is the phone I'm sure you've all seen in videos or the Apple Store it's got one button on the bottom which there's the home button it's got the speaker right there that we'll see here on the top of the phone is the headphone jack with the 3.5 millimeter headphone zones because it's recessed I'm not sure why I've looked at that but it is got the power button right there the back of the phone it's got the Apple logo here is where your antenna is the left side of the phone has a switch that turns the ringer on and off and a great simple for meetings and a volume up or down bottom the phone's got the familiar iPod docks but used to charge it with and the right side of the phone has nothing so you guys can see it's very very very thin and the back to also is a camera right there overall I've been using the phone since it came out pretty much I've been very very very pleased with it the call quality is good no better worse than anything else the build quality the phone seems excellent the built-in speaker is is good when listening to music it's actually very loud the GUI on the phone itself you can tell why it took Apple so long to come out with the phone for those of you that might not know GUI or GUI is a graphical user interface essentially the operating system what you've seen you look at the phone and I've never seen anything more fun to look at it's got even when you're minimizing applications the zoom out effect as you guys will see when I get into the review even though all these effects might seem just more like fun features the phone does serve it's a very powerful business tool email functionality is certainly serviceable web browsing is by far the best I've used on any phone and I've certainly used my fair share across all platforms and most carrier is one of the complaints I've heard with the iPhone is ATT coverage I can't really speak to that it varies more you live where I am 18 t covered as excellent I had 18 TV four so there's no trouble there at all lack of 3G is certainly a problem but you know that going into the phone that doesn't have that eight gigabytes of storage which what I have seems to be plenty for me but I can see why people would want more and I'm sure future models will have that again overall I'm very very very happy but it with the iPhone everywhere I go it seems like there's a crowd around a I just wanted to see it in play with it it's that that big net exciting of a product so it's in conclusion if you have the resources to pick one up it's absolutely worth while it's a great phone for me activation was a piece of cake it took 10 minutes by the people are having some trouble but Apple is doing their best I know to to fix it any questions nor go to your Apple Store call AT&T or app so guys here is part 1 enjoy the review ask questions if you got them thank you all for subscribing enjoy guys let's get down to it so here we have the iPhone in its off position first thing that you need to do turn the iPhone on is either push the one button here or the button on top the power button push the menu button comes up pumping you down lock slide the lever to the right unlock and that brings you to the iPhones main menu and you can see it consists of four rows of three and then a bottom set of four hot keys walk through kind of quickly each one here but you'll see it's text calendar photos camera YouTube socks maps weather clock calculator notes settings on the bottom you have phone mail Safari and iPod so we'll start from the top here first thing you have is text click on text it pulls up your most recent text if you push the Settings button it gives you a list of all recent people that you you texted the texts are set up very easily very similar to I chat in firm X you can scroll through what I've typed appears in the green what here in this case my girlfriend is typed is in the grey and you can scroll through very easily go back to settings one cool thing that the phone does in order to delete text if you slide your finger to the right over the main pulls up a little delete thing hit delete delete the text kind of cool calendar is the general calendar I'll show you what it looks like what you have today I get something going on today it shows up below there photos is I think one of the shining features of the iPhone hit photos it pulls up all the photos you have synced I'll pull up my camera roll can go taking with my camera let's give an example put a picture of my cat it lets you scroll through just by flicking your finger go to the next picture and like we'll get to on the web you're able to zoom in just by zooming if I were to if this was a landscape picture for example if I were to turn it sideways as you can see the picture would rotate with it kind of a cool feature you also have the option for photos too on arrows instead of scrolling your finger go to next here's a picture you want to delete you can just hit delete and very kind of cool fashion gets has to be deleted get sucked right into the trashcan you also have the option in photos you hit the menu button down there to use this wallpaper email photo assign it to contact or cancel get out of photos here camera is a very simple camera big shutter appears and then you've got your viewfinder there is no way to zoom on the camera there are no functions it's take a picture of what you see that is definitely one of the drawbacks of the iPhone and you push the button right there to take the picture YouTube is actually one of the features that I found myself using the most and one of the features that I didn't think I was going to use at all it's actually very cool you hit YouTube and you can search you can view featured videos most viewed things you have bookmarked or even a few options I'll show you real quickly what it looks like we're going to featured and it's fun one here ok should I pick one reply turns horizontal turn it for you starts the buffer and there goes very cool which that's half the screen menu pops up you can pause fast-forward rewind bookmark email it and you can fast-forward by dragging your finger across which you're done simply get done pulls you back to the main menu okay sorry I got a breeze over these kind of quickly YouTube cuts me off after a couple minutes stop hold up stop soft quotes it's got Google Maps that's very familiar environment for online I'll show you real quickly take Google Maps there's a local Apple Store hit maps again pulls up just a very very familiar Google Maps application weather pull up weather for where you are clock pulls up the clock calculator to calculator notes just simple notes program settings gives you a very limited customizing ability airplane mode turns off the wireless features Wi-Fi some usage which tells you how long you've using the phone since you're less charged how long you been using the phone period for call volumes and how much data you set to received and you have the option of resetting that information as well
