The iPhone was the first mobile phone to use multi-touch technology and has since undergone several changes, including larger screen sizes, video-recording capabilities, waterproofing, and many accessibility features. The iPhone's design has also evolved, with newer models featuring a nearly bezel-less front screen design with facial recognition technology, app switching activated by gestures, and no physical button on the front panel.

The iPhone is one of the two major smartphone platforms in the world and is considered a luxury item. It has generated significant profits for Apple, making the company one of the world's most valuable publicly traded companies. The first-generation iPhone was a game-changer for the mobile phone industry, and subsequent models have received positive reviews. The iPhone is credited with popularizing the smartphone and slate form factor and creating a large market for smartphone apps, known as the "app economy." As of January 2017, there were over 2.2 million applications available on Apple's App Store for the iPhone.

Sometimes, a software malfunction can be resolved by simply restarting the device or the problematic program. If you have attempted the troubleshooting steps thus far, and your voicemail is still not functioning, try turning off your iPhone and then turning it back on after a minute or closing the Phone app and reopening it. The Phone app features Visual Voicemail, which is accessible through specific carriers and displays a list of your voicemail messages. You can pick and choose which messages to play and delete without listening to all of them. Additionally, a badge displayed on the Voicemail icon indicates the number of unheard messages.

Another feature, Voicemail Transcription (currently in beta and available only in select countries or regions), shows your voicemail messages transcribed into text.
