The iPhone is an Internet-equipped range of smartphones designed and built by Apple. It can connect to the Internet using cellular data connectivity, and through its built-in Wi-Fi function. The iPhone can connect to secured Wi-Fi networks, and will remember the password of any networks it's previously connected to so you don't have to log in each time you come into range. It also remembers the Wi-Fi password even if you type it in wrong, and must have the details for that particular network reset before it can successfully connect.
