An iPhone is a smart phone. A smart phone is a phone that has many of
the capabilities of a computer, such as downloading and installing 3rd
party apps. Phones running the Android operating system would also be
considered smart phones.

What is the difference between an IPhone and a SmartPhone?

*Subject:* Interesting article about the future of the iPhone and, in
my opinion, smart phones in general
While the below article is about the iPhone in particular, I think it
applies to all smart phones. Just as we see declining numbers in
desktop and even laptop sales, smart phone sales will eventually
plateau and possibly decline. After almost 12 years of the iPhone and
if you count the earlier Blackberries and Windows/Nokia phones as
early smart phones an even longer history of smart phones, these
devices are now quite mature and as all mature products people will
realize they don't necessarily have to get a new one every year or
two. Yes, there are still untapped markets, but in terms of numbers a
lot of these untapped markets are poorer people in countries like
China, India, Africa etc. who can never in their life afford an iPhone
or, for that matter, a high-end Samsung or Google smartphone. It is
interesting how Foxcom apparently is investing hundreds of millions to
expand a manufacturing facility in India where it is rumoured a lot of
future iPhone production will take place instead of in their existing
facilities in China. In any case, it still won't mean Apple will
suddenly go bankrupt or become some third-rate corporation of little
importance, they are rich enough and offer so many services and I am
sure will find ways to adapt and compensate for potentially less
revenue coming in from hardware sales. Here now the link to the article:
