Phenyl methyl ether reacts with HI to give phenol and methyl iodide and not iodobenzene and methyl alcohol. Why?

Anisole on reaction with HI gives phenol and CH_(3)-I as the main products and not iodobenzene and CH_(3)OH. Assign reasons.

(a) Explain why cleavage of phenyl ethers with HBr always produces phenol and alkyl bromides and not bromobenzene and alkanols. (b) Give reasons for the following: (i) The dipole moment of diethyl ether (1.18D) is lower than that of water (1.84D). (ii) The C-O-C bond angle in ethers is higher than H-O-H angle in water though oxygen is sp3 hybridized in both the cases. (iii) Dimethyl ether is completely miscible with water but diethyl ether is soluble in water to a small extent.
