Trying to understand the difference in what matches and the resulting output for findall vs finditer

1. Using findall:

import re

target_string = "please sir, that's obviously a clip-on."

result = re.findall(r"[a-z]+('[a-z])?[a-z]*", target_string)

print(result)

# result: ['', '', "'s", '', '', '', '']

2. Using finditer:

import re

target_string ="please sir, that's obviously a clip-on."

result = re.finditer(r"[a-z]+('[a-z])?[a-z]*", target_string)
matched = []
    
for match_obj in result:
    matched.append(match_obj.group())

print(matched)
    
# result: ['please', 'sir', "that's", 'obviously', 'a', 'clip', 'on']

How does these two methods match patterns and why is there a difference in resulting output. Please explain.

Tried to read the docs but still confused on the workings of findall vs finditer
