Should there be any reason someone could get a heter for an iPhone?
Only to understand the dangerous nature of the technology. Someone like a Rov who needs to counsel others on its ills.
Rav Aviner said that for some (who have better self control) an iPhone would be ok, but each person has to know themselves and be honest if they can or can’t handle having one.
What can you do with an iphone that you can’t do with a PC and a regular landline telephone?

Stick it in your pocket.
Get your GPS coordinates.
Q: What can you with Android that you cannot do with an iPhone?
A: Get your GPS coordinates without a network connection. iPhone doesn’t have offline GPS. Android does. Priceless if you go hiking in areas without cellular coverage.

BUT THAT’S TRUE OF ALL MOBILE PHONES INCLUDING “KOSHER” PHONES

It’s also true of a pack of gum, but that wasn’t your question.
akuperma: Kosher phones isn’t a computer in your pocket as they have no web access.

So what is the objection to an iPhone as compared to any other brand?
Cost? Internet access (then the objection is to internet access, not to any specific hardware – a netbook or tablet is just as problematic)?
I can see reasons to object to portable phones, or to computers, but why a specific brand? If a hot dog is treff because its made of pork, it’s still treff if instead it’s an expensive pork roast.

Cracking up laughing!!

I’ve never heard that an iphone is more objectionable than an Android phone.

Unless the conductor allows you to take up two seats, one for you and one for the pc, monitor and large battery pack and you have about 45 miles of rj11 cable extending from your phone jack, and the conductor on the morris and essex line allows you to trail it behind the train, the iphone is a much easier, cost effecte and efficient way to stream a shiur while commuting to and from work.
If only there was a way to learn without an iPod, it’s lucky we actually have them today or we’d be EDITED. This is true ameila batorah, la’asok bidivrei Torah.
