When entering your contacts, in the fields section a phone number can be entered as a home phone, work phone, mobile phone etc. and as an "iphone". Is there any pupose to lising it as an iphone ? Just curious, and I couldn't find an answer in the phone user guide.

If the contact number is listed as an iPhone, then you know you can send the recipient an iMessage or make a FaceTime call.
 
good point....but there is no "functional" advantage so far as the operation of the phone, right ?
