iPhone: The Missing Manual

In the Box

Inside the minimalist box, you get the iPhone, its earbud/mike cord, and:

• The charging/syncing dock. You charge your iPhone by seating it in this white desktop dock. Most people plug the dock's USB cord into a Mac or PC for simultaneous syncing and charging. (See Chapter 11.)

• The AC adapter. When you're traveling without a computer, though, you can plug the dock's USB cable into the included two-prong outlet adapter, so you can charge the iPhone directly from a wall socket.

• Finger Tips. Cute name for a cute fold-out leaflet of iPhone basics.

• Two white Apple decals. Let your car window show that you're a phone-carrying member of the Apple cult.

• A screen cloth. This little pseudo-suede cloth wipes the grease off the screen, although your clothing does just as well.

What you won't find in the box (because it wouldn't fit) is a CD containing the iTunes software. You're expected to have a copy of that on your computer already. In fact, you must have an iTunes account to set up and use the iPhone (Appendix A).

If you don't have iTunes on your computer, you can download it from www.apple.com/itunes.
