The Apple iPhone Reviews
From the moment
Apple announced its iPhone at Macworld 2007, the tech world hasn't stopped
asking questions. Becuase Apple has kept many iPhone details under wraps until
very recently, we've been forced to speculate. Until now. Is the iPhone pretty?
Absolutely. Is it easy to use? Certainly. Does it live up to the stratospheric
hype? Yes. The iPhone is a lovely device with a
sleek interface, top-notch music and video features, and innovative design
touches. The touch screen is easier to use than we expected, and the multimedia
performs well. Below are some
extracts of reviews from respected organisations:
CNET editors' review
Excellent 8.0 out of 10
The good: The Apple iPhone has a stunning display, a sleek design, and an innovative multitouch user interface. Its Safari browser makes for a superb Web surfing experience, and it offers easy-to-use apps. As an iPod, it shines.
T3 Magazine - First UK Review: Is the wonder
phone all it's hyped up to be?
With an industrial design and hardly any boring
old buttons, it’s a monolith amongst mobile phones; a slice of design wizardry
worthy of Apple’s glorious tradition. The hotly-anticipated touchscreen is as
wondrous as hoped, even if its glass front makes you want to wrap it up in
cotton wool. You manipulate it with natural movements; a pinching motion for
zooming in and out, a flick up or down for fast scrolling and single and double
taps. Typing takes a bit of practice – the keyboard is small, so mistyping is
easy, but software that’s like predictive text 2.0 means that accurate typing
isn’t always required to get perfect spelling.

BBC News - Technology reporter, Beneath
the bonnet of the iPhone
With the iPhone, it seems that Apple may have surpassed the expectations of even
its most demanding fans.

"Anticipation has
been running high ever since the design, which combines a phone with music
player, camera and internet browser, all controlled by a touch screen, was
unveiled in January."

"The greatest
success of Apple's iPhone lies in the realisation that most phones you have
owned previously are compromises."
