iPhone: Introduction

Development of the iPhone began in 2005 with Apple CEO Steve Jobs'
direction that Apple engineers investigate touchscreens. He also steered
the original focus away from a tablet, like the iPad, and towards a phone.
Apple created the device during a secretive collaboration with AT&T
Mobility—Cingular Wireless at the time—at an estimated development cost
of US$150 million over thirty months.
Apple rejected the "design by committee" approach that had yielded the
Motorola ROKR E1, a largely unsuccessful collaboration with Motorola.
Instead, Cingular gave Apple the liberty to develop the iPhone's hardware
and software in-house and even paid Apple a fraction of its monthly
service revenue (until the iPhone 3G),in exchange for four years of
exclusive U.S. sales, until 2011.
Jobs unveiled the iPhone to the public on January 9, 2007 at the Macworld
2007 convention at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. The iPhone
went on sale in the United States on June 29, 2007, at 6:00 pm local time,
while hundreds of customers lined up outside the stores nationwide.The
passionate reaction to the launch of the iPhone resulted in sections of the
media christening it the 'Jesus phone'.The original iPhone was made
available in the UK, France, and Germany in November 2007, and Ireland
and Austria in the spring of 2008.

On July 11, 2008, Apple released the iPhone 3G in twenty-two countries,

Apple iOS 1
including the original six. Apple released the iPhone 3G in upwards of
eighty countries and territories. Apple announced the iPhone 3GS on June
8, 2009, along with plans to release it later in June, July, and August,
starting with the U.S., Canada and major European countries on June 19.
Many would-be users objected to the iPhone's cost, and 40% of users
have household incomes over US$100,000.

In an attempt to gain a wider market, Apple retained the 8 GB iPhone 3G

at a lower price. When Apple introduced the iPhone 4, the 3GS became
the less expensive model. Apple reduced the price several times since the
iPhone's release in 2007, at which time an 8 GB iPhone sold for $599. An
iPhone 3GS with the same capacity now has no cost to the customer, as of
the release of the iPhone 4S. However, these numbers are misleading,
since all iPhone units sold through AT&T require a two-year contract
costing several thousand dollars, including an early termination fee,and a
SIM lock.

The iPhone has garnered positive reviews from such critics as David
Pogue and Walter Mossberg.The iPhone attracts users of all ages,and,
besides consumer use, the iPhone has also been adopted for business
purposes.
Users of the iPhone 4 reported dropped/disconnected telephone calls
when holding their phones in a certain way. This became known as
antennagate.
On Tuesday, September 27, Apple sent invitations for a press event to be
held October 4, 2011 at 10:00AM at the Cupertino Headquarters to
announce details of the next generation iPhone, which turned out to be
iPhone 4S. Over 1 million 4S models were sold in the first 24 hours after its
release in October 2011. Due to large volumes of the iPhone being
manufactured and the its high selling price, Apple became the largest
mobile handset vendor in the world by revenue, in 2011, surpassing long-
time leader Nokia; however, later that year, it was surpassed by Samsung,
a major manufacturer of Android phones. American carrier C Spire
Wireless announced that it would be carrying the iPhone 4S on October
19, 2011. In February 2012, ComScore reported that 12.4% of US mobile
subscribers use an iPhone. The iPhone 4S launch was also the biggest
launch for any smartphone in the history of mobile device market.

iOS: Introduction
Apple iOS 2
iOS (formerly iPhone OS) is a mobile operating system developed and
distributed by Apple Inc. Originally released in 2007 for the iPhone and
iPod Touch, it has since been extended to support other Apple devices
such as the iPad and Apple TV. Unlike Windows CE (Mobile and Phone)
and Android, Apple does not license iOS for installation on non-Apple
hardware. As of March 6, 2012, Apple's App Store contained more than
550,000 iOS applications, which have collectively been downloaded more
than 25 billion times. It had a 16% share of the smartphone operating
system units sold in the last quarter of 2010, behind both Google's Android
and Nokia's Symbian. In May 2010 in the United States, it accounted for
59% of mobile web data consumption (including use on both the iPod
Touch and the iPad).
The user interface of iOS is based on the concept of direct manipulation,
using multi-touch gestures. Interface control elements consist of sliders,
switches, and buttons. The response to user input is immediate and
provides a fluid interface. Interaction with the OS includes gestures such
as swipe, tap, pinch, and reverse pinch, all of which have specific
definitions within the context of the iOS operating system and its multi-
touch interface. Internal accelerometers are used by some applications to
respond to shaking the device (one common result is the undo command)
or rotating it in three dimensions (one common result is switching from
portrait to landscape mode).
iOS is derived from Mac OS X, with which it shares the Darwin foundation,
and is therefore a Unix operating system.
In iOS, there are four abstraction layers: the Core OS layer, the Core
Services layer, the Media layer, and the Cocoa Touch layer. The current
version of the operating system (iOS 5.1) uses roughly 770 megabytes of
the device's storage, varying for each model.

History

Apple iOS 3
The operating system was unveiled with the iPhone at the Macworld
Conference & Expo, January 9, 2007, and released in June of that year
(November in the United Kingdom).At first, Apple marketing literature did
not specify a separate name for the operating system, stating simply that
the "iPhone runs OS X". Initially, third-party applications were not
supported. Steve Jobs argued that developers could build web applications
that "would behave like native apps on the iPhone".[On October 17, 2007,
Apple announced that a native Software Development Kit (SDK) was
under development and that they planned to put it "in developers' hands in
February". On March 6, 2008, Apple released the first beta, along with a
new name for the operating system: "iPhone OS".
Apple had released the iPod touch, which had most of the non-phone
capabilities of the iPhone. Apple also sold more than one million iPhones
during the 2007 holiday season.[12] On January 27, 2010, Apple
announced the iPad, featuring a larger screen than the iPhone and iPod
touch, and designed for web browsing, media consumption, and reading
iBooks.
In June 2010, Apple rebranded iPhone OS as "iOS". The trademark "IOS"
had been used by Cisco for over a decade for its operating system, IOS,
used on its routers. To avoid any potential lawsuit, Apple licensed the
"IOS" trademark from Cisco.

Version History
Apple licensed the trademark for "iOS" from Cisco Systems (which owns
IOS), the same company with which Apple had earlier settled a dispute
over the "iPhone" trademark.
Apple released iOS 5 on June 21, 2010, three days before the iPhone 4, in
an effort to reduce the strain on Apple's servers. iOS 5 was the first version
of the OS to be a free upgrade on the iPod touch; Apple had charged
$4.99 for earlier upgrades. Apple previously announced that iPad users
with 3.x software would receive a free upgrade to the next major (4.x)
release.
iOS 5.0.1 included a fix to the reception signal strength indicator(s). It was
released on July 15, 2010, the day before Apple hosted a press
conference to discuss its response to the widely publicized iPhone antenna
issues. Apple also released iOS 3.2.1 for the iPad which tweaked the
tablet's Wi-Fi connectivity, video playback, and copy-and-paste for PDF
attachments, among other updates.
iOS 5.1 for the iPhone and iPod touch was released on September 8,
2010; the update fixed some bugs reported by users, improved battery life

Apple iOS 4
and added several new features:
▪ Game Center, which allows gamers to play multiplayer games online,
upload high scores and unlock achievements (though Apple
removed Game Center from the iPhone 3G because of reports of
slow performance)
▪ The ability to toggle spell checking on and off
▪ HDR photography (iPhone 4 and 4S only)
▪ Ping, a social music network and discovery tool
iOS 5.1 also updated carrier settings which (at that time in the United
States, AT&T 8.0 only). At the same time, TV show rentals became
available on the iTunes US Store.

iOS 5.2 was never released but instead iOS 5.2.1 was released on
November 22, 2010. It added iPad compatibility. Further on iOS 5.2.5 was
released as a demo version for the CDMA version of the iPhone 4. This
iPhone 4 variant was released for Verizon Wireless customers in the US
on February 10, 2011, but pre-ordering was available for qualified Verizon
Wireless Customers on February 3. The version released with the phone,
4.2.6, has some slight UI changes specifically for the CDMA version of the
phone, including a "Personal Hotspot" switch in the Settings app, a service
which has to be activated by the carrier in order for the feature to be
usable. This became available for purchase from Verizon as a separate
plan, as is currently possible on other smartphones.

iOS 5.0 and its features were announced on June 6 at the WWDC 2011
keynote address. The update was released at 6pm GMT on October 12,
2011. iOS 5 introduced the iCloud service and the Notification Center, as
well as improvements to native apps such as Camera. The operating
system also features new applications, such as the "Reminders" app and
"Newsstand", a special home screen folder and App Store category that
contains newspaper and magazine apps. "iMessage" is an application that
allows iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad users to communicate, much like a
chat service only used between these devices. The iMessage feature has
been integrated into the "Messages" application on the iPhone. The iPod
application on the iPhone and iPad has now been split into the Music and
Video application, just as it had been on the iPod touch. It also added
updated security and bug fixes. According to Apple, the new OS has over
200 new features.

iOS 5.1 was announced alongside the iPad and Apple TV (3rd

Apple iOS 5
generations) during a special press event at the Yerba Buena Center for
the Arts in San Francisco on March 7, 2012. Not much of the event was
dedicated to the new software release, and it was generally viewed as a
minimally incremental release. Later that day, users of iOS devices were
able to upgrade to the new operating system. New features include
support for Siri in Japanese as well as the ability to delete photos from
Photo Stream from an iOS device.

Features
 Home Screen

Apple iOS 6
The home screen (rendered by and also known as "SpringBoard") displays
application icons and a dock at the bottom of the screen where users can
pin their most frequently used apps. The home screen appears whenever
the user switches on the device or presses the "Home" button (a physical
button on the device). The screen has a status bar across the top to
display data, such as time, battery level, and signal strength. The rest of
the screen is devoted to the current application. When a passcode is set
and a user switches on the device, the Lock Screen is displayed.

An iPhone 4S status bar displaying its icons. From left to right: Signal strength, wireless
carrier name, Wi-Fi signal strength, VPN connectivity, time, orientation lock, location
services, alarm clock, TTY, AirPlay Mirroring, and battery status. (Not pictured: airplane
mode, call forwarding, device lock, personal hotspot, cellular network mode, background
audio, bluetooth, WiFi sync and Battery percentage)

Since iOS version 3.0, a Spotlight Search function has been available on
the left page of the home screen page allowing users to search through
media, applications, emails, contacts and similar files.

 Folders
With iOS 5 came the introduction of a simple folder system. When
applications are in "jiggle mode", any two can be dragged on top of each
other to create a folder, and from then on, more apps can be added to the
folder using the same procedure, up to 12 on iPhone and iPod touch and
20 on iPad. A title for the folder is automatically selected by the type of
applications inside, but the name can also be edited by the user.

 Notification Center
In the iOS 5 update, the notifications feature has been completely
redesigned. Notifications now collate in a window which can be dragged
down from the top of the screen, much like Google's Android Operating
System. If a user touches a received notification, he/she will go to the
application that sent the notification.
 Multitasking
Before iOS 5, multitasking was limited to a selection of the applications
Apple included on the devices and an array of jailbroken modifications.[24]
Starting with iOS 5, on 3rd-generation and newer iOS devices, multitasking

Apple iOS 7
is supported through seven background APIs:
1. Background audio - application continues to run in the background as
long as it is playing audio or video content[26]
2.Voice over IP - application is suspended when a phone call is not in
progress
3.Background location - application is notified of location changes
4.Push notifications
5.Local notifications - application schedules local notifications to be
delivered at a predetermined time
6.Task completion - application asks the system for extra time to complete
a given task
7. Fast app switching - application does not execute any code and may be
removed from memory at any time

 Switching Applications
Double-clicking the home button activates the application switcher. A
scrollable dock-like interface appears from the bottom, moving the
contents of the screen up. Choosing an icon switches to an application. To
the far left are icons which function as music controls, a rotation lock, and
on iOS 5.2 and above, a volume controller. Holding the icons briefly makes
them "jiggle" (similarly to the homescreen) and allows the user to force quit
the applications by simply tapping the red minus circle that appears at the
corner of the app's icon.

 Game Center
Game Center is an online multiplayer "social gaming network"[27] released
by Apple.[28] It allows users to "invite friends to play a game, start a
multiplayer game through matchmaking, track their achievements, and
compare their high scores on a leader board." iOS 5 and above adds
support for profile photos.[27]

 Included Applications
The iOS home screen contains these default "apps". Some of these
applications are hidden by default and accessed by the user through the

Apple iOS 8
 Settings app or another method—for instance, Nike+iPod is activated
through the Settings app.

Primary Apps

All of the utilities, such as voice memos, clock, calculator, and compass
are in one folder called "Utilities" in 4.0.[Many of the included applications
are designed to share data (e.g., a phone number can be selected from an
email and saved as a contact or dialed for a phone call).
The iPod touch retains the same applications that are present by default
on the iPhone, with the exception of the Phone, Messages, Compass and
Camera (before the 4th generation) apps. The "iPod" App previously
present on the iPhone was split into two apps with iOS 5, Music and
Videos, as it always has been on the iPod touch. The bottom row of
applications is also used to delineate the iPod touch's main purposes:
Music, Videos, Safari, and App Store (Dock Layout was changed in 3.1
Update). For the 4th Generation iPod touch, it includes FaceTime and
Camera, and the dock layout had changed to Music, Mail, Safari, Video.
As of iOS 5.0, "iMessage" will be available on all iOS devices running iOS
5. iMessage is effectively a version of the iPhone Messages app that
sends free text or multimedia messages to other iOS devices (similar to
BlackBerry Messenger).
The iPad comes with the same applications as the iPod touch excluding
Stocks, Weather, Clock, Calculator, and the Nike + iPod app. Separate
music and video apps are provided, as on the iPod touch, although (as on
the iPhone) the music app is named "iPod". Although, that was changed in
iOS 5 to "Music", to match the other devices in the family. Most of the
default applications are completely rewritten to take advantage of the
iPad's larger display. The default dock layout includes Safari, Mail, Photos
and Music.

Development

Apple iOS 10
The applications must be written and compiled specifically for iOS and the
ARM architecture. The Safari web browser supports web applications as
with other web browsers. Authorized third-party native applications are
available for devices running iOS 2.0 and later through Apple's App Store.

On October 17, 2007, in an open letter posted to Apple's "Hot News"

weblog, Steve Jobs announced that a software development kit (SDK)
would be made available to third-party developers in February 2008.The
SDK was released on March 6, 2008, and allows developers to make
applications for the iPhone and iPod touch, as well as test them in an
"iPhone simulator". However, loading an application onto the devices is
only possible after paying an iPhone Developer Program fee.
As of April 2012, the fees to join the respective programs for iOS and OS X
were stated at $99.00 per developers license. This $99.00 fee must be
paid annually in order for the developer to maintain their license. As of July
20, 2010, Apple released Xcode on its Mac App Store free to download for
all OS X Lion users. Users can create and develop iOS Applications using
a free copy of Xcode, however they cannot post them to the App store or
make profit from their applications without first paying the $99.00 iPhone
Developer or Mac Developer Program fee.
Since the release of Xcode 3.1, Xcode is the development environment for
the iOS SDK. iPhone applications, like iOS and Mac OS X, are written in
Objective-C.
Developers are able to set any price above a set minimum for their
applications to be distributed through the App Store, of which Apple will
take 30% of the revenue (the other 70% goes to the developer).
Alternately, they may opt to release the application for free and need not
pay any costs to release or distribute the application except for the
membership fee

Jailbreaking
Apple iOS 11
Ever since its initial release, iOS has been subject to a variety of different
hacks centered around adding functionality not allowed by Apple. Prior to
the 2008 debut of the native iOS App Store, the primary motive for
jailbreaking was to install third-party native applications, which was not
allowed by Apple at the time. Apple has claimed that it will not release iOS
software updates designed specifically to break these tools (other than
applications that perform SIM unlocking); however, with each subsequent
iOS update, previously un-patched jailbreak exploits are usually patched.
Ever since the arrival of Apple's native iOS App Store, and—along with it—
third-party applications, the general motives for jailbreaking have
changed.[36] People now jailbreak for many different reasons, including
pirating App Store applications, gaining filesystem access, installing
custom device themes, and modifying the device SpringBoard. On some
devices, jailbreaking also makes it possible to install alternative operating
systems, such as Android and the Linux kernel.
In 2010, the EFF successfully convinced the U.S. Copyright Office to reject
Apple's claim that jailbreaking is in violation of the Digital Millennium
Copyright Act and declare that iOS jailbreaking is legal in the United
States.

 Reasons for jailbreaking

One of the main reasons for jailbreaking is to expand the feature set
limited by Apple and its App Store. Most jailbreaking tools automatically
install Cydia, a native iOS APT client used for finding and installing
software for jailbroken iOS devices. Since software programs available
through Cydia are not required to adhere to App Store guidelines, many of
them are not typical self-contained apps but instead are extensions and
customizations for iOS and other apps.Users install these programs for
purposes including personalization and customization of the interface,[4]
adding desired features and fixing annoyances, and making development
work on the device easier by providing access to the filesystem and
command-line tools.

 Security
The first iPhone worm, iKee, appeared in early November 2009, created by

Apple iOS 12
21-year-old Australian student Ashley Towns of Wollongong. He told
Australian media that he created the worm to raise awareness of security
issues: jailbreaking allows users to install a SSH service, which those
users can leave in the default unsecure state.[15] In the same month, F-
Secure reported on a new malicious worm compromising bank
transactions from jailbroken phones in the Netherlands, similarly affecting
devices where the owner had installed SSH without changing the default
password.

APPLE iOS 5

Apple iOS 13
Version 4, announced in April 2011, introduced multitasking and several
business-oriented features, including email encryption and attachments. At
the WWDC 2010 keynote on June 7, 2010, Apple announced that iPhone
OS had been renamed iOS. Apple licenses the trademark for "iOS"
from Cisco Systems (which owns IOS), the same company with which
Apple had earlier settled a dispute over the "iPhone" trademark.
iOS 5 was released on June 21, 2010, three days before the iPhone 4,in
an effort to reduce the strain on Apple's servers. iOS 5 is the first version of
the OS to be a free upgrade on the iPod touch; Apple had charged $9.99
for all earlier upgrades except from 2.x to 3.1, which charged $4.99. Apple
previously announced that iPad users with 3.x software would receive a
free upgrade to the next major (4.x) release.

ios 5.0.1 includes a fix to the reception signal strength indicator. It was
released on July 15, 2010, the day before Apple hosted a press
conference to discuss its response to the widely publicized iPhone 4
antenna issues. Apple also released iOS 3.2.1 for the iPad which tweaks
the tablet's WiFi connectivity, video playback, and copy-and-paste for PDF
attachments, among other updates.

iOS 5.0.2 for iPhone and iPod touch and iOS 3.2.2 for the iPad were
released on August 11, 2010, to fix a pair of security vulnerabilities.
iOS 5, previously known as iPhone OS 4, is a major update to Apple's
mobile OS which brings a handful of significant changes—namely Apple's
implementation of "multitasking" plus the opening up of thousands of
APIs to third-party developers—while the rest of the improvements
are basically tweaks to existing functionality.
We'll say up front that we like the update. For iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
and iPhone 3G users (as well as second- and third-generation iPod
touch users), iOS 5 will add useful functionality that will make your
device more useable than ever.

Because iOS 5 is launching ahead of the new iPhone 4 (and it runs

on more devices than just the new iPhone), we're reviewing it
separately from the phone itself. There is some functionality that is

Apple iOS 14
specific to the iPhone 4, which we'll address in that review when it
comes out. For the purposes of this review, though, we used iOS 5 on
an iPhone 3GS—the most current iPhone available ahead of the iPhone 4
launch.

What can't your third-party apps do while in the background?

 Grab new updates: those of you who were hoping that your Twitter,
IM, or IRC client would pull down updates while hanging out in the
background will be disappointed. Unless those apps make use of
push notifications to alert you of new messages (as the AIM app
does), apps won't be able to check for updates on their own unless
they're in the foreground.
 Work across the entire OS: users have long hoped that some of
their favorite apps (such as TextExpander) would be able to work in
all parts

Apple iOS 15
 of the OS, such as Mail and Messages, but that won't be the case.
This isn't Mac OS X here—Apple still wants to keep each app to
itself for the most part.

If you swipe right immediately after hitting the Home button twice, you'll
always get the orientation lock (more on this later) as well as your audio
controls for the app that's currently playing audio. If you swipe right, you'll
just keep getting apps that you recently used—tap any of the app icons to
switch back to that app, and it will pick up exactly where you were before
you switched away. Although the multitasking feature is limited overall, the
ability for the OS to keep your spot in whatever you were doing is certainly
welcome. (It's worth noting that many developers have put in good effort to
save your state within their apps in order to replicate this on their own.)

Apple iOS 16
 Apple iOS 5's Hidden Features
 Home Screen:
As usual, Apple snuck a number of new features into almost every facet of
iOS, so let's start with the first thing that most people see when they use
an iPhone: the Home screen. Now, you probably already know about the
major new features like folders for organizing apps and support for
wallpaper backgrounds (just like the iPad feature), but we've found a
couple more perks as well. First, the Spotlight screen now offers
"Wikipedia" and "Web" options at the bottom of your search results. If you
don't find what you're looking for locally, these are two easy launchpads for
taking your query out to the Web.

 Multitasking:
You can indeed remove an app from the multitasking bar at the bottom of
the display. To do so, tap and hold on an icon, just as if you wanted to
move icons around on the Home screen. The icons will start jiggling, and a
red minus sign will appear at the top left of the icon. Tapping the minus will
immediately close the app with no confirmation, warning, or ability to
reverse your choice, so be sure that the app either automatically saves
your work or that you were truly done using it.
 Phone:
Moving along the key apps and features of iOS, the Phone app got a little
attention in this update. On iPhone 4, the FaceTime button appears to
have knocked off the Hold button on the in-call screen (our guess is that
hold seemed a little redundant in light of Mute and the ability to move the
phone away from your face). Thanks to Nik Fletcher's observations, the
"End Call" button has been re-labeled to simply "End," and the in-call
background image now stretches all the way to the bottom of the screen
(previously, it stopped just above the End Call button).

 Mail:
Mail is at the head of the pack when it comes to major changes in iOS 5,
and we covered them in our main review and our hands-on Mail piece. The
app also got quite a bit of spit and polish that warrants a mention.

Apple iOS 17
  Safari:
In addition to gaining Bing as a search option and other perks we've
already mentioned, Apple endowed its mobile browser with search
suggestions that appear as you type, just like in a desktop browser. (This
works with all three search engine options and is, of course, dependent on
having a stable Internet connection.) When typing in the address field, URL
suggestions from your bookmarks and history now include both the URL
and page title. Apple also tightened up the interface when you tap on either
Safari's search or location fields--the Cancel button is now next to the the
field, instead of above it, cutting down on the amount of space that it
occupies.

 iPod:
The iPod app may take the cake when it comes to the sheer number of
nips and tucks that Apple made to its iOS 5 apps, which is why we
spent an entire article on it. The album view got a serious face lift, as it
now displays album art in a larger area at the top, along with metadata like
release date, total playing time,

 iTunes Store:
There is no more iTunes Plus designation on music tracks--the higher
256Kbps quality, DRM-less format has been the norm for some time, so
Apple has apparently seen fit to do away with pointing it out.

 YouTube:
Videos will rotate to portrait mode, but only after they start playing in
landscape. Then you can turn the phone upright and the video will follow
(iPod videos gained portrait rotation sometime in iOS 3.x). If you turn the
phone to portrait before the video starts playing, it will remain in landscape
orientation--we're not sure if this is a feature or a bug, but it seems like a
bug.

 Notes:
Since Notes can now sync with multiple sources (iTunes, MobileMe, and
so on), a new button in the top left lets you view all the accounts that
support notes. This also means you get a choice when creating notes--you
can keep

Apple iOS 18
  Voice Control:
Enables user to control the device via audio commands

 Voiceover:
Provides an audio description of what’s on the screen. Blind or visually
impaired users can touch an area of the display to hear the text read or to
hear an image described. In dragging her figure around the display, the
user can hear and understand the spatial and contextual relationships
between different screen elements.

 Visual Voicemail:
Displays a log of each individual voicemail received, allowing the user to
select which messages to play and in what order. During playback, each
message can be controlled with a scrubber bar so that only a portion of a
message can be repeated.

 Multi-language support:
Immediately upon activation, iOS 5 supports 24 languages in Voice
Control, has 40 international keyboard layouts, and speaks 21 languages
in VoiceOver.
