FOREWORD
Apple’s iPhone isn’t just another phone. It’s a first-of-its-kind product
for Apple—and potentially for the cellular phone industry as a whole.
At the same time, it’s a full-featured iPod and the smallest Mac ever
created—underneath that glass touch screen it’s running OS X.
This is the second time Apple has tried to completely rethink
the way we connect with our computers. The original Macintosh
changed the world by providing a physical control (the mouse) that
moved a cursor on a computer interface. But the iPhone does it one
better. Now, instead of pushing around a mouse in order to make a
disembodied arrow or hand move on the computer screen, you use your finger to do all
the moving. When you touch a photo, Web page, or e-mail message on the iPhone and
slide your finger across the screen, the image moves along with your touch, as if you
were moving a physical object. There’s no cursor on the iPhone because your finger is
your pointer—which, despite what your mother may have told you, is just what fingers
are meant to do.
The iPhone arrived with a huge wave of hype—which in turn led to something of a
backlash. Now that the smoke has cleared, I think it’s clear that while the iPhone isn’t per-
fect, it is perhaps the most compelling phone ever created. And over time, the iPhone will
revolutionize the cellular phone industry by pressuring other phone makers and cellular
providers to innovate more.
That brings us to the subject of this book. Why in the world would Macworld publish an
entire book about a device that’s supposed to be so intuitive? It’s a question I get a lot,
including from people at Apple. Their goal—and it’s a reasonable one to shoot for—is to
make an incredibly complex technology as easy to use as possible. And the iPhone is easy
to use, which is one reason it’s so appealing.
But make no mistake about it: the iPhone is a computer. And a full Web browser. And
an e-mail client. It connects to Wi-Fi networks, and even to your employer’s virtual private
network (VPN). As easy as it is to use, it has an ocean of depth. And that’s the sort of
stuff this book delves into, giving you not only the basics but also more-advanced tips,
tricks, and troubleshooting advice.
Yes, the most basic feature of the iPhone is one you probably learned how to use
before you turned one year old. But once you know how to point, you have to learn when
and where to use that awesome pointing power. That’s the goal of this book—to give your
finger (and the brain controlling it) some great ideas about how best to use the amazing
piece of technology you’re cradling in your hand.
And for the very latest iPhone coverage—including tips and accessory reviews—be sure
to visit iPhone Central ( iphone.macworld.com ).
