Since the Apple iPhone was first released, it has been all of the rage in the handheld computer and cellular phone industry. For too many reasons to mention, the iPhone is leading in ingenuity and technology among its class. Comparable to no other phone, and possessing many of the features and qualities common to MacBooks and MacBook Pros, the iPhone elevates its user’s way of life.
While the iPhone does come ready with everything users need straight out of the box, there is always more that an iPhone can do. iPhones come with a large storage capacity, and this is great because there are countless applications, or apps, as they are called that can help users get the most satisfaction and utility from their iPhone. With hundreds of apps to select from, there is no shortage of things that users can do with their iPhones. The following discussion centers on just five of the many applications that users can download to transform their iPhones:
Stocks app: This application is fantastic for savvy investors as well as those with just a few investments in the stock market. It used to be that people had to spend a substantial amount of time on the telephone with their broker to check the status of their investments. This, of course, meant that most times people did not know how their investments were performing. With the stocks app, however, people can instantly check the health of their investments with a simple touch of their iPhone. A quick glance at the easy to read display will demonstrate just how the market is performing.
NY Times app: The New York Times is notorious for being the nation’s leading information source. Of course, this means that a subscription to the New York Times does not come cheap. In fact, a paper subscription costs over $600 per year. This price can be avoided with the NY Times app, because it allows the online subscription to be delivered straight to users iPhones at no charge.
ESPN app: Sports lovers will definitely not want to pass this application by. With the ESPN app, all of the scores to all of the big games are delivered directly to the user’s iPhone. Many other sports apps are also available to allow users to follow games play by play or keep up to date on their fantasy sports teams.
Public Radio app: This application transforms an iPhone into a radio. Whether the iPhone user wants to listen to their favorite streaming music or an interesting talk show, this app is the way to go.
Stanza app: Many people are discovering that eBooks are the way to stay up on their reading. With Stanza, iPhone users can download their favorite books in online form, and then be sure to always have their reading with them wherever they go.
