Just thought anyone participating in this article might have an opinion on this. There is a discussion to split this content from the App Store article into a new one. If you're interested in participating, you can comment here. Brian Reading ( talk) 17:55, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
Why can't there be different articles about different models? -- Xxhopingtearsxx ( talk) 23:01, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
[[:Image:IPhonehomescreen.PNG|thumb|The default Home screen of the iPhone shows most of the applications provided by Apple. Users can download additional applications from the App store, create Web Clips, and rearrange the icons. The numeric battery meter is achieved via the jailbreaking process.]]
The numeric battery meter is a standard feature on an iPhone 3GS. Would someone correct this? 98.230.214.136 ( talk) 18:32, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
I just removed the header called "Controversies regarding the iPhone" because the first section that would have been under that header is about iPhone's intellectual property history, which does contain controversies but isn't solely about them. The other section isn't necessarily about any kind of iPhone controversy, but rather a controversy regarding a Foxconn employee. I haven't removed the Foxconn employee suicide section yet, because it is sourced (in fact I changed the source from "Yahoo News" to an AP story on the New York Times web site) and it does involve the iPhone in at least a tangential way. And, to be honest, I think it's interesting. I do however think it's against the spirit of WP:NPOV to attempt to label those sections "controversies". -- Atama chat 00:14, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
Not sure where this would go, or if it's of real encyclopedic value, but Fox News has an article about "Trapster", an app that works with the iPhone's GPS to alert drivers when they approach a known speed trap or traffic light camera. Law enforcement has been mostly positive about the app, surprisingly, since in theory it would help drivers slow their speed in certain areas. Again, I'm not even sure if it belongs in the article (or where) but it seems interesting. -- Atama chat 16:23, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
Can someone explain what the "Online Services" entry in the infobox of the article is supposed to mean? I don't quite understand what those entries are supposed to be. -- Atama chat 15:38, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
(unindent) I thought MobileMe is out-of-the-box and built within the Mail app, along with Yahoo Mail and AOL? A service doesn't need to have its own icon for it to be listed here. The only thing I consider add-on is if you need to hook up to the App Store and download the app. Groink ( talk) 05:08, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
How about a hottrix article? See [2] Famous creators of iBeer, iMilk, iMunchies, and more for iPhone and iPod touch. 98.230.214.136 ( talk) 18:56, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
This article has too much info... it's just a phone. There isn't anything like this for other phones, even phones with many versions such as the Motorola RAZR. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.91.20.235 ( talk) 04:14, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
(outdent) True, but you have to balance that with combatting recentism. What we also don't want is an article about the most recent iPhone, the Platonic form of the iPhone, as we'd here about it from Apple. I don't see anything wrong with "feature x was added in update y in date z". The infobox, on the other hand, is very bloated and will probably collapse entirely with the next model. Hence List of iPhone and iPod Touch models. HereToHelp ( talk to me) 11:00, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

The first section of this article does briefly mention the differences between the regular iPhone and the iPhone 3G (faster 3G data speeds and assisted GPS), but it does not between the 3G and the 3GS. I therefore suggest that after "The 'iPhone 3GS was announced on June 8, 2009." we add the following: "Among other things, it has improved performance, its camera has more megapixels, it can be voice controlled, and it has a built-in video camera.

Reports are out (most dated 9/14/09) that Apple has already started releasing MMS abilities to iPhone users. The rollout it expected to take time, but it is probably time to update the article portions that discuss MMS abilities. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Digitallib ( talk • contribs) 00:17, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
The colors of the world map don't correspond to the colors below it. I would update them myself, but I can't really say which countries offer 3G and 3GS. It also appears that the actual map uses "Coming soon" as well.-- Totie ( talk) 13:16, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
Hey, can someone update the map to reflect that China is getting the iPhone? I can't do anything with a .svg. Nezzadar ( talk) 18:38, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

None of the references used on the article ( 1, 2, 3) regarding CPU underclocking, do not mention the fact that the CPUs are underclocked. So any idea? Thank you. kedadial 22:55, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

According If insurance company statistics, screen is fragile and causes most insurance claims which concerns mobile phones.
ref: http://www.e24.se/pengar24/dinekonomi/telefoniinternet/artikel_1584685.e24 This information is from reliable source, maybe someone would format it propelly and add into display section. "Trygg Hansa"-insurance company have samekind statistics. And iPhone have quite small market share in Europe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jack007 ( talk • contribs)
I think the image at the top-right of the page could be better - there's no point in having a picture of the 3 different phones looking exactly the same! I propose it's replaced with a single larger image, like the iPod Touch page has. JaffaCakeLover ( talk) 16:23, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
Just to tell everyone, the 1st generation iPhone came out in 2004 or 2005. It was very bulky, but still highly advanced for that time. The reason why it didn't get so popular was because it didn't have a large battery life and every time the battery was sucked up of all of its juice, you had to return it to the Apple Store because the connecter, as you know, is very different from regular MP3 players, or even iPods at the time. Then you would have to wait a few hours at the Apple stor so you could charge it up fully. Also, the iPhone 1g had very bad reception. That is the reason why the iPhone that came out in 2007 was called the iPhone 2g, not the iPhone 1g. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Monsterous28 ( talk • contribs) 05:14, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
Anybody wanna add hacktivating? Hacktivating is activating the phone without going through iTunes or anything. Basically if you have an locked iPhone locked to the Emergency Screen and don't have a AT&T Sim Card you can "hacktivate" it by jailbreaking it (though some solutions don't hacktivate like blackra1n) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.244.250.149 ( talk) 07:24, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
In Brazil it is forbidden to impose carrier-specific SIM locking. While most cell phone operators still sell locked phones, they are required by law to perform the unlock free of charge any time the customer requests it, regardless of contracts or subsidizing that may have occurred when selling the phone. The only requirement is to present the phone's original acquisition receipt. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.153.253.102 ( talk) 17:15, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi,
I would like to request a minor change to Reference #12. It currently reads: ^ "Apple (Samsung S5L8900) applications processor with eDRAM". Semiconductor Insights. http://www.semiconductor.com/resources/reports_database/view_device.asp?sinumber=18016. Retrieved 2009-05-12.
Semiconductor Insights is now part of UBM TechInsights and we have moved all the content to www.ubmtechinsights.com. This particular report is now accessed via a new URL: http://www.ubmtechinsights.com/reports-and-subscriptions/device-library/Device-Profile/?SINumber=18016
The citation should be to UBM TechInsights now, as well.
The old URL will still work for a while (it automatically gets remapped to the new site), but ultimately semiconductor.com will be re-purposed.
Thanks, -mark. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mdroberts1243 ( talk • contribs) 19:09, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
