Question

What is the difference between window based and view based iphone apps ?

Thanks

Answer 1

From xcode:

The window based template provides a starting point for any application. It provides just an application delegate and a window.

This view based template provides a starting point for an application that uses a single view. It provides a view controller to manage the view, and a nib file that contains the view.

Answer 2

Besides what has already been said, the most important thing to remember is that iPhone apps can only deal with just a window. Therefore, you will always have a single window, even though you may have as many views (and corresponding view controllers) as your app needs.
