Apart from this feature of iPhone, Safaris features in handling numbers makes this entire feature a lot interesting to use. Open a webpage in safari that contains a phone number.
Tap on the phone number, it gives you options to call the number or cancel the call. If you select to call, the iPhone calls that number and if you select to cancel the call you come back to the page you were browsing in safari.
With links in safari, there is a slick trick. You can just press and hold the link for a few seconds and a small bubble with the actual URL opens up. This serves multiple purposes.
