Other than using your iPhone to make calls, send text messages, play games, take photos and videos with, play music and movies, and edit documents in, you can put it to other interesting uses that you don’t expect it to be capable of.
Thanks to thousands of iPhone app developers using their creativity and imagination, you can use your well-loved gadget in several useful or amusing ways. (note: most apps may only work on iPhone 4. Not all apps are endorsed or approved by Apple.)
1. As a Flashlight – You can use your iPhone as flashlight by downloading the Flashlight app from iTunes. It uses the LED light on your device and fills your screen with bright light. You can use it as you would an actual electric light torch.
