It uses the spin of the electron to store and transport information instead of the electrical charge, meaning much more information could be kept in a smaller space than before.
- 24. iPhone a convergence of an Internet- enabled smartphone and iPod. iOS, (formerly iPhone OS)- scaled down version of OS X 3.5-inch (89 mm) touch screen display, 4, 8, or 16 GB of memory, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi
