OK here are a few questions.

Which company is better?
Which company is giving you a better deal? Perks? Benefits?
Which one you would like to work at personally?

I think ASP.NET developer is a better choice becase using ASP.NET, you cover much more market and iPhone may be HOT today, after a few years, it maybe something else?
But advantage of being an iPhone developer is, you are in a niche market and there are not too many developers.
I would say, if iPhone company will also let you learn ASP.NET, go with them. But you need ASP.NET to survive. Just iPhone will not work. What if they dont have any iPhone projects?
Cheers!

As far as I know, and I don't know much about the I-Phone, all I-Phone development uses Objective-C, which is not used a lot, and I assume the operating system and UI are relatively unique too. So there is not likely much opportunity to learn ASP or C# or .Net.

Apple has developed a product called Mono Touch to write iPhone applications in C# and .NET.

What is MonoTouch by Mahesh Chand On Feb 10, 2010
MonoTouch allows developers to create C# and .NET based applications that run on Apple's iPhone and Apple's iPod Touch devices, while taking advantage of the iPhone APIs and reusing both code and libraries that have been built for .NET, as well as existing skills.
