Smartphones are mobile phones that run a special adapted operating system. With its help, the user uses the available functions. The category of smartphones also includes the iPhone, which, however, has some differences from other devices in this class.
IOS
The main difference between the iPhone and other smartphones is the operating system used. The device runs iOS, which is exclusive to Apple devices. This operating system is distinguished by its interface, functionality and simplicity. Each device has its own style and colors. IOS favorably distinguishes between speed, stability and low number of crashes.
Also, the system interface contains programs that are not available for devices on other platforms, for example, AppStore, Safari or Siri.
ITunes
When connected to a computer, the iPhone, unlike devices running under other operating systems, is not recognized as a removable disk. To manage the contents of the device, the user needs to install additional software on the computer called iTunes. This application allows you to download music, pictures and applications to your phone via a cable or wireless connection.
File system
The iPhone has a closed file system, unlike Android, for example. This means that the user will not be able to independently create full-fledged folders in the device's memory and manage the copied files on his own. When synchronizing iPhone with a computer, all the necessary data is immediately copied to the folders designated by the system - the user cannot change the destination directory on his own without performing the jailbreak procedure.
Memory card support
The closedness of the file system also affects the structure of the device's memory itself. The iPhone, unlike Android and Windows Phone 8, does not support the installation of memory cards to expand the data storage available to the user. However, iPhones come with expanded storage that can go up to 128GB. This storage should be enough to accommodate a large collection of photos, music, videos and programs.
Feature of devices from Apple is also distinguished by the unity of their design.
Frame
Unlike most other phones, the iPhone also doesn't have a removable battery. Smartphones from Apple belong to the category of expensive ones, which also puts the device in a separate category. The iPhone has a high-quality build, which is made of glass and metal, which also sets it apart from some other models.
