At a minimum, you need to be able to connect to the internet to take advantage of most iPhone features, which you can do using a Wi-Fi network (a network that you set up in your home through an internet service provider or access in a public place such as a library) or a cellular data connection from your cellular provider. You might want to have a computer so that you can connect your iPhone to it to download photos, videos, music, or applications and transfer them to or from your iPhone through a process called syncing. (See Chapter 4 for more about syncing.) An Apple service called iCloud syncs content from all your Apple devices (such as the iPhone or iPad), so anything you buy on your iPad that can be run on an iPhone, for example, will automatically be pushed (in other words, downloaded and installed) to your iPhone. In addition, you can sync without connecting a cable to a computer by using a wireless Wi-Fi connection to your computer.

Your iPhone will probably arrive registered and activated. If you bought it in a store, the person helping you can usually handle those tasks.
