How do you apply the gradient tool to the selection (iphone) only? I select the phone only and when I apply the gradient tool it changes the hole picture.

If the gradient applies to the whole image then you either don't have the phone selected or you have the whole or wrong layer selected.
When you have just the phone selected (with the marching ants around the phone) open a new layer and apply the gradient to the selection on the new layer.
I'm in the habit of making a selection on a new layer and filling the selection with color. That way I can "Ctrl+click' that layer if I want to use the selection again. When you 'Ctrl+click' a layer the pixels of that layer are selected (in other words the shape or outline or that layer). Note: make sure your selection isn't feathered when you save it this way.
Edit: I learned PS a long time ago on PS 7.0. but I haven't kept up with it. I can still get things done on the newer versions if I need to, though my methods may be crude.

Thank you man! I have literally zero experience with design and I am having a bit of difficulty with my photoshop class. I'm more of a coding kind of guy.
