In addition to enhanced multimedia features, the iPhone also has basic functions that are available on many cellphones, such as a speakerphone. The speaker feature allows you to speak to a caller and hear him without putting the device up to your ear. It is also beneficial if you want a group of people to participate in a conversation on your iPhone. You need to be in an active call to use the speaker.
