How can I use my iPhone as a USB drive?

I'd like to use my iPhone 4 as a portable USB drive -- the same way I can use my old iPod.  Is there a way to do this, or (Apple, are you listening) will this be included in a future OS release?
I find it difficult to believe that this basic functionality is not included on the iPhone when it is included in virtually every other smart phone.
Thanks.

"I'd like to use my iPhone 4 as a portable USB drive -- the same way I can use my old iPod."
You cannot.  The iphone is not your old ipod and is not designed with the same features.
" Is there a way to do this,"
No.
(Apple, are you listening"
No. This is a user forum.  You can leave feedback for Apple at:  http://www.apple.com/feedback
" will this be included in a future OS release?"
There is no possible way to know this, but there is no reason to believe that this will ever happen.
"I find it difficult to believe that this basic functionality is not included on the iPhone when it is included in virtually every other smart phone."
Difficult or not, it is so.

  • Can i use my iphone as a usb drive

    can i hook my iphone up to a pc that doesn't have itunes and download files via the usb connection to my iphone and then open them i.e pdfs or video files?

    YES.you can use a third party app, that uses the iPhone as a external diskdrive (for example iExplorer). But then it is just that: you can't "play" those files in the iPhone.

  • How can I use 2 iPhone 4's on same iTunes account, but NOT sync same contacts?

    How can I use 2 iPhone 4's on same iTunes account, but NOT sync same contacts?

    They need to be registered under different Apple ID's.  The initial Apple ID is set when you first start the phone up.  If you've already registered the phone to the iTunes account, back it up to your computer, and then have iTunes do a factory reset.  Go to www.icloud.com, log in with your current Apple ID, select "Find My iPhone," choose the iPhone you want to dissociate from your primary Apple ID from the upper left, and then click the little circled X ("remove").
    When you start the phone, it will have you go through the setup process again, at which time you need to create a unique Apple ID for the device.  You can then restore it from your iTunes backup to get back your apps and other settings.
    Whenever you use the iTunes store, use the login information (Apple ID and password) that you were using before.  Basically, the second Apple ID that you created is purely used for accessing iCloud services, which includes synchronization of contacts, iCal events, and other such things.

  • Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts.  The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv.  How can I use my iphone to do the same?

    Our experience is a little different, we have different iTunes accounts for different family members, each family member has their own iTunes library on their own mac, each mac uses my Apple ID for homesharing and we are able to play purchased content from each library on the Apple TV.

    How can I use my iPhone as a GPS Tracker? My requirement is not just finding the iPhone using find my iPhone but to use it as a GPS Tracking Device. I wish to enable GPS on my iPhone and want somebody to locate my movement continuously. Earlier I used to do this using my Nokia Phone with Google Latitude. Currently I know Google Plus has a Location Sharing Option also but that doesn't give location details continuously. Any help?

  • How can I use my Iphone as a remote control?

    How can I use my Iphone 6 as a remote control?

    If you are referring to an Apple TV or iTunes remote control then download the "Remote" app from the app store.
    If you are referring to a remote control for your TV, Cable box, DVD Player etc then you cannot use your iPhone as a remote for these things unless they are wifi connected and have a remote control app on the app store.
