iOS is a mobile operating system developed by Apple Inc. and was first released as iPhone OS in June 2007, coinciding with the launch of the first generation iPhone.[1] iPhone OS was renamed iOS following the release of the iPad, starting with iOS 4.[2] With iOS 13, Apple began offering a separate operating system, iPadOS, for the iPad. iOS is also the foundation of the newer audioOS and tvOS, and shares some of its code with macOS. New iOS versions are released yearly, alongside new iPhone models. From the launch of the iPhone in 2007 until the launch of iPhone 4 in 2010, this occurred in June or July, since then, new major versions are usually released in September, with the exception of iOS 5, which released in October 2011. Since the launch of the iPhone in June 2007, there have been 18 major releases of iOS, with the current major version being iOS 18, released on September 16, 2024.

iPhone OS 1

Main article: iPhone OS 1

Apple announced iPhone OS 1 at the iPhone keynote on January 9, 2007, and it was released to the public alongside the first-generation iPhone on June 29, 2007.[3] No official name was given when the iPhone was released, and Steve Jobs just said "iPhone runs OS X".[4][5] During the development phase of iPhone OS 1, "probably 16, 17 different concepts" were developed. Many on the team were skeptical of the feasibility of a touchscreen keyboard, and believed that users would prefer hardware keyboards. A number of different user interfaces were prototyped, including one that involved a multi-touch click-wheel.[6]

iPhone OS 1 was criticized for its lack of support for Adobe Flash web content, copy and paste, and Bluetooth stereo headphones.[7] It also lacked support for third-party native apps, and only supported web apps,[8] which was criticized by reviewers and developers,[9][10] including John Carmack.[11]

iPhone OS 1.1 was the first version supported by the first generation iPod Touch.[12] iPhone OS 1.1.4 is the final version of iPhone OS 1 for the first generation iPhone, with iPhone OS 1.1.5 being the final version of iPhone OS 1 available for the first generation iPod Touch.[13] It was succeeded by iPhone OS 2 on July 11, 2008.[14]

Apple announced iOS 4 in April 2010,[28] and released it to the public on June 21, 2010, alongside the iPhone 4.[25] It was the first version of the operating system to be called "iOS", due to the iPad being released. With this release, Apple dropped support for the original iPhone and the first generation iPod Touch, which is the first time Apple had dropped support for any device in an iOS release.[25] The iPhone 3G and the second generation iPod Touch were capable of running iOS 4, but had more limited features. For example, both devices lacked multitasking,[29] and the ability to set a custom home screen wallpaper.[30] This was also the first major release to be free of charge for iPod Touch users.[25] The release of iOS 4.2.1 brought compatibility to the original iPad[31] and was the final release supported on the iPhone 3G and 2nd generation iPod Touch due to significant performance issues.
