David Pogue has complied a list of frequently asked questions about the Apple iPhone. Pogue had some hands on time with the iPhone earlier this week.
A few of the more interesting/revealing answers are listed here:
- Does the Web browser support Flash or Java? No. - Can it open Word and Excel documents? No. (Steve Jobs says it can open PDF files, though.) - Will it sync with Outlook? No. - Does it connect to standard iPod accessories like car docks and speaker systems? Yes! - Wont the screen get smudgy? It does, but you dont see it except when the screen is off. The one I played with was pretty streaky, but wiping it on my sleeve cleaned it completely.

This functionality was briefly mentioned during the WWDC 2026 keynote in June, on a slide that listed hundreds of new features coming in iOS 27 and corresponding software updates, but Apple never shared any further details at the time.
