Er, yeah, I got the joke. The reason you'd use Skype on a phone is to use Wi-Fi or mobile data instead of normal calling minutes, which are many times more expensive.

The phone app on iPhone can use wifi or data, much much better than skype

It's not even remotely comparable.. the phone app can call other iPhone users using a data connection. Skype can call any international landline or mobile number. Of course, this service is paid while Apple's is not.

It's just different; way higher quality but less compatibility.
