Microsoft's mobile operating system for smartphones, Windows Phone 8, has a unique approach to the traditional smartphone.
Instead of showing you rows of static icons like you see on the iPhone, Windows Phones have "Live Tiles" that update with real-time information from your apps.
But that's just scratching the surface. Windows Phones offer several features you won't find on the iPhone.
The operating system supports phones with bigger screens. The biggest iPhone only has a 4-inch screen. Windows Phones can be 4.5 inches or larger.
They can run Microsoft Office apps like PowerPoint and Word. Microsoft has refused to make Office apps for the iPhone (so far), so you're stuck using alternatives like Apple's own iWork suite of software.
You can customize your home screen's Live Tiles by resizing them. Apple doesn't let you customize what apps show up on your iPhone's home screen.
