Analysis

For someone that knows how to use an iPhone knows how to use the controls on the phone without having to think about it.

For someone that has never used an iPhone or looked at one before wouldn't know how to use the controls to switch the phone to silent.

The design of the controls such as the switch to turn it on to silent in a consistent design that apple have used. So the users that upgrade to the newest iPhone will always know that. That is the way to turn the phone on to silent. The controls on the side of the phone isn't really visible from the front especially when you have a case on the phone you can’t see them at all so you wouldn't know that they were there if you have never use a n iPhone before.   

Sending a text option to let the person know that you ring them back is new to the latest software (ios6).

A lot of the features that the iPhone has you discover as you use the phone. IPhones have a lot more feature than any standard user would ever use.
