The usability and gestures for the iPhone are much the same as the iPad but I've found another article which really highlights the interface and usability which I'm going to similarly quote from and add insights below.
The interface
"Grids of apps fill as many pages as needed, with each new page stacking to the right of the home one. Swipe left and you’ve got the quick search facility for looking up apps, contacts, emails and much more besides."
"Tap the home button and it’ll close the app you’re in and take you back to the homescreen. Double tap and you can see all the apps you’ve got running.Swipe down from the top edge of the screen and you’ve got a notifications tray that shows the weather at the top (tap to see more detail), stocks at the bottom, and all the various notifications about new emails, messages on Twitter or upcoming appointments in between."

Overall the interface is much like the iPad only smaller and because of the size apps and screens are little more condensed. Keeping it simple keeps the overall usability simple. The Gestures are much the same as the iPad although they accommodate for the smaller screen.
Gestures
Swipe,- a left to right finger swipe
Drag,-holding and dragging
Scroll - down swipe movement
Flick- fast downward swipe flicks pages down
Tap- select
Pinch- zoom in and out
