iPhone is a smartphone too.
It is just a sub set of the smart phone category.

According to Google, the definition of smartphone is

"A mobile phone that performs many of the functions of a computer, typically having a touchscreen interface, Internet access, and an operating system capable of running downloaded apps."

I think iPhone fulfills all of the above criteria.
