Apple's mobile operating system for its iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, Apple TV and similar devices. iOS was originally called the iPhone OS but was renamed in 2010 to reflect the operating system’s evolving support for additional Apple devices.

Apple iOS is currently in v6.x release, with iOS 6 having debuted in October 2012 in conjunction with the release of the iPhone 5. Recent versions of iOS have introduced a number of powerful new features to the mobile OS, most notably a built-in instant messaging client (iMessage), built-in support for Apple's iCloud personal cloud storage service and Apple's Siri advanced voice recognition application.

Older devices such as the original iPhone and iPod touch are not supported in the iOS 4, iOS 5 and iOS 6 family of updates, and the iPhone 3G and second-generation iPod Touch cannot be updated past iOS version 4.2.1.

The primary competitors to Apple iOS in the mobile operating system space are Windows Phone 7, Google’s Android OS, and the BlackBerry OS. Apple iOS does have a head start in the apps department, with its App Store already featuring more than 500,000 third-party applications.

    Apple is continually on the cutting edge of technological advances in the cellular phone industry with better innovations to their products. The iPhone 5S® is the most recent technological advancement to the iPhone® with an improved camera, a next-gen CPU and motion tracking chip, and fingerprint sensors. Major drawbacks are that it still has the four inch screen like the original iPhones®, the fingerprint sensor only works with Apple applications at this time, the 64 bit A7 processor and the M7 motion-tracking chips do not have any “killer apps” yet, and the iOS 7 may boggle the minds of longtime iPhone users; the iPhone 5S is by far the fastest and most technologically advanced of the Apple SmartPhones® to date.

    My Iphone4 was updated to iOS6 and is the technology I use daily, hourly, 24/7. The benefits my Iphone provides me are pretty much anything you can think of. I use my phone to stay in contact with friends and family. I make and receive important phone calls. I check my email, I write my notes, I listen to music, browse the internet, play games, mark my calender, chat on social networkin sites, manage bills, and keeo track of my calorie intake daily with my Iphone. The benefits are all of the uses I get out of one device right at my finger tips. There are many risks involved with having my entire life on one device. One risk is the fact that my iphone could be stolen and I would lose everything I have in my phone or a starnger would have access to my personal information and basically, my entire life. I could have identity theft happen. Another risk is my phone breaking and me losing all of my personal inoramation or not having access to them. there are a couple ways of minimizing the risks. I can continuously back up the data in my iphone on itunes on my laptop, so I can always have acees to the information on my phone. I can also set up security locks throughout my phone on important information that I do not want to risk getting hacked or having another person have access to it. If I chose not to use my phone because of the risks associated with it, my life would be alot more boring and inconvienent. Everything besides making phone calls or recieving phone calls can be used outside of having my phone, however that would just be so much more complicated. I woulld have to continuously log on to computers or ask others to borrow thier phones. I would also be bored because I am not home alot, an if I wanted to hop online to chat with friends or listen to music while I workout at the gym, I would not be able to do that. Plus I would not be able to carry my laptop around all over, so I would not have unlimited access to everything I need and want when I need and want…
