Abstract: Gestural devices have introduced new challenges to the field of user interaction. iPhone, despite the high intuitiveness of its gestural interface, raises a number of minor and major usability issues that due to its widespread usage affect a large user population. This study examines the usability of five preinstalled iPhone applications (Contacts, Clock, Camera, Calendar and Safari) by conducting testing sessions with users that have no (or limited) prior experience with iPhone, iPad and iPod and can thus be considered novices. The results of the usability assessment confirm the list of potential usability issues documented in related sources and stress the crucial importance of gestural interaction devices conforming to established fundamental principles of usable interaction design.
