The Apple iPhone is, without a doubt, a widely used smartphone. It first entered production back in 2007, and it’s had a massive following since. Like most smartphones, the iPhone lets you run all kinds of software programs called “apps.”

As their ads always say, there’s an app for just about everything. It’s because of that fact that people in the business world have come to rely on their iPhone handsets. They perform a number of crucial tasks using their devices and those apps. If you run a business, and you’ve got an iPhone, which apps should you be using?

Today, we want to provide you a few examples of popular iPhone apps that get used by millions each day in the business world. For example:

Dropbox
Years ago, it wasn’t that easy to share files with people over the Internet. And it was almost unheard of for groups of people to have the ability to collaborate on data at the same time. At least, not from any corner of the world at the same time.

Sure, you could always use technology like VPN (Virtual Private Networking). But, what if you wanted to open and edit files using a mobile device? For the most part, you had to use a computer or laptop to achieve that goal.

Nowadays, services like Dropbox make it quick and simple for people to share and work on files together. One of the advantages of using the cloud storage provider is that you can revert to old versions of files. Trust me; that’s a useful feature to have.

Facebook Pages Manager
If you run a business, you will doubtless have a strong social media presence. Those of you that have an active Facebook page should use their Pages Manager app.

It’s a great way to learn more about the people that “like” your page and share its content. It can give you all kinds of useful insights. I prefer using it to the mobile version of their main site as it feels more user-friendly. It also means that you’ll have one less window open in your Safari browser.

Evernote
Do you find yourself fighting a losing battle when it comes to organizing your life? If you’ve answered “yes” you need to check out the Evernote app. It’s a useful way to organize and archive just about anything you can access via your iPhone.

In fact, Issa Asad has written in to say, you can access content saved on your account from just about any Internet-connected device. That means if you save something using the iPhone app, you can check it out on your PC later when you’re back in the office.

LinkedIn
Yes, I know, “yet another social networking site.” But LinkedIn is different to the others in that it’s designed just for business professionals.

It’s a useful way of forging new business relationships with others in your industry. You can use the service to headhunt people when you’ve got a job opening. And you can keep abreast of the latest news in your industry.
