There really isn't much to the iPhone in terms of physical controls and features. The device weighs a somewhat hefty 145g (5.1oz) and measures up at 115mm x 61mm x 12mm (4.5" x 2.4" x .47"). For comparison, a current model 30 or 80GB iPod weighs 136g (4.8oz) and measures 104mm x 61mm x 11mm (4.1" x 2.4" x .43"). Most people will be able to forgive the iPhone its size and weight once they see the beautiful 3.5" 480x320 pixel touch screen display that dominates the front of the device. Apart from the home key that is located below it, there really is nothing else going on up front. Almost all interactions with the phone take place on the display, but we'll get to that later.

A chrome frame surrounds the glass that covers the black face of the iPhone. A matte finish metal covers up most of the sides and back of the phone where, oddly, the phone's serial number and IMEI are clearly written. The camera lens, also located on the back, is very small and unobtrusive (you can unlock iphone to get more functions for the camera) .

One of the only places where plastic is used on the device, and the only place it is used as a cover material, is along the bottom section of the rear of the device where the speaker, microphone, and standard 30-pin iPod docking port are found. Plastic was needed here so as to not obstruct the phone's antenna. Plastic is also used, sparingly, for the remaining few controls on the iPhone. The ringer switch and volume controls, which are found on the left edge of the device, are made of plastic. A well hidden SIM card slot is located on the top of the device, sitting between the plastic standby/power key and the 3.5mm headset/headphone jack.
