Difference between smartphone and iPhone sim only?

Rev

As the title really, most sim only deals come with 500mb of data, which is plenty for me (I only use around 200mb per month), but it seems I have to pay an extra £5 per month because I have an iPhone. So, can I just get a regular smartphone one, or is there something added to the iPhone sim only tariffs that mean I need one of those.

Also, is giffgaff about the best for sim only?

Looking for around 600mins, at least 500 sms and 500mb.

You can use a regular sim, but you'll have to cut it to a micro size if it's iP4.

This will cost £20 at giffgaff. You can get what you want for 12x£10 or for £16 p.m. on rolling contract with chitter-chatter (t-mobile).

No.Not at all.You will only be charged for calls/texts/data that are not included in your plan.

How does the discount work for chitterchatter? Is it for a fixed period? For ever? (I realise that chitterchatter need to be trading and not gone bust for it to be paid into a bank account).
