Review of iPhone Accessories
The Apple iPhone is currently in its third iteration, which is known as the 3Gs. It retains the 3.5 inch touch screen interface, the user friendly software and the attractive design, but adds in a faster processor, a 3.2 megapixel camera and an internal compass which enhances the already impressive GPS capabilities. The fourth version of the iPhone is already in development, but for the moment it remains one of the most popular smartphones in the world. It has inspired new consumer trends with its App Store digital download service and has caused many other manufacturers to attempt to copy the basics of its success. Many iPhone owners choose to augment their mobiles with accessories and these are some of the best which you might consider picking up yourself.
Monster iSplitter 1000
The iPhone has excellent media playback credentials, but it is difficult to share your music or movies with a mate if you do not feel like sharing a single set of headphones. This device solves that problem by adapting the iPhone`s 3.5mm headphone jack so that it can accommodate 2 standard headphone sets. There is even independent volume control for each additional listener, which is an undeniably intelligent touch and with gold plated contacts all round this ensure the best audio quality is attained.
Apple Remote
Many people use their iPhones in conjunction with an audio dock in their homes and the Apple Remote is the perfect accessory for remotely operating the iPhone when it is attached to one of these devices. It has full control over playback, including volume and playlist changing, allowing you to sit back and relax as the tunes unfold.
Apple iPod Socks
There are plenty of cases out there for the iPhone, but none are quite as colourful and quirky as these. These are knitted pouches which can snugly contain your iPhone and with six different colours on offer you will be spoilt for choice.
Monster Beats Studio Headphones
This is the only range of audiovisual products endorsed by hip hop perfectionist Dr. Dre and it really shows. These headphones also have built-in iPhone compatibility, allowing you to answer calls at the push of a button without needing to extract the phone from your pocket and you can chat away with the built-in microphone as well.
iTrip FM Transmitter
If your car does not have a line in connection, then this device will allow you to turn your iPhone into a miniature radio station broadcasting all of the music that you have stored in its expansive memory to enjoy whilst you are on the road. This device plugs straight into the base of the iPhone, so there is no need for additional power and it comes with an app which can help you control the transmitter using the touch screen of the iPhone.
Choosing the right accessory or the best mobile phone deals is relatively easy if you have something in mind. Apple have a farily comprehensive selection on their website, though there is a much wider and better value choice elsewhere online. It is always sensible to check out user reviews if you are unsure about a product, as someone else will doubtlessly have tried it out and added their opinion to an online outlet. |
