The differences between the iPhone and smartphones are easy to understand. The term smartphone is just like the general name for all mobile devices, whereas the term iPhone is the brand name for some mobile devices. In other words, all mobile phones with certain computing capabilities can be regarded as smartphones, but not all mobile phones are iPhone products. Before a mobile phone can be called a smartphone, it must run on a particular OS, it must support internet connection, and it must share certain functionalities with a regular computer. iPhone is the brand name for a list of smartphones developed by Apple. Smartphones usually come in different screen sizes depending on their makers. On the contrary, the screen sizes of the existing iPhone-lineup are 3.5-inch, 4-inch, 5.8-inch displays. Another difference is that there are different operating systems for different smartphones depending on their makers. However, the operating used by iPhone is the iOS mobile operating system.
