Phones and cellphones
Phones and cellphones have two different words, we need to understand how the term evolved, its definitely not an official differential existance, but here is how I look at it.
While Ericsson had market dominance in the 1990’s with the chunky blocks that looked exactly like cordless phones which couldn’t exactly fit very well into you jeans pockets, they were simply called phones or mobile phones, which means, ’its like my landline cordless phone, but with a larger battery life and mobile connectivity’. There was no GPS nor was their any 3G of 4G connection. But it didn’t matter the creation of mobile phone calls and text messages were high tech enough to drive people nuts.
Come the 2005’s and ahead, the phone reduced in size and the features grew, smaller more advanced chips could handle more work load, more apps more functions. The phone could now fit our pockets and yet do everything. This now they came to be called cell - or as small as cell - phone. This came to the words of cellphones. A phone now is simply your landline or your cordless whereas the cellphone the micro version of your home phone but with hundreds of features that laptop also may never be able to do. Silk fabrics might have gotten softer but the tech involved behind changing phones has come a very long way, hence has the words we use unconsciously.
This is my theory of how the words changed, but if not necessary want to include yourself in a conversation that regard how words changed, you ignore it.
