The Apple iPhone is a smart phone manufactured by Apple Inc. The iPhone revolutionized the way users interact with their phones with its multi-touch screen and multimedia capabilities. The iPhone popularized third-party applications with the App Store, allowing users to customize their devices with a unique set of apps. Arranging icons representing those apps for convenience and quicker access is an easy process on the iPhone or even through iTunes.
