BERLIN: How many euros are 109 kroner (RM46.75)? Oh, €10.51 (RM47.74) for a beverage?! Then maybe I'll stick to water.
You could spend ages searching the Internet for currency converters to find answers like these, or you could use the converter built into your iPhone. There are two ways to do it.
The first is with Spotlight, the iPhone's search function. To open it, swipe down anywhere on the Home Screen, then type what you want into the search field.
For example, if you type "109 kroner (RM46.75)", you immediately get the result of €10.51 (RM47.74) or US$11.74 (RM47.83) or whatever your local currency is. That's it. This also works with other currencies, and you do not need to know the currency abbreviations. Simply spell out the currency name, see the result, done.
The Calculator app also has a conversion function, but it is somewhat hidden. You have to tap the calculator symbol at the top right of the app, which is not very intuitive. Then select "Convert".
Because you can convert many things here – such as angles, areas, data, energy, force or lengths – you also need to select "Currency".
The option in the calculator is better if you want to make several conversions one after another, or convert into other currencies.
The data behind the exchange rates comes from the online service Yahoo Finance. The date of the data is shown at the bottom left, so you can see how up-to-date the conversions are. – dpa
