iOS (previously iPhone OS) is a mobile operating system developed by Apple and distributed exclusively for Apple hardware. It is the operating system that powers many of the company’s iDevices.

As of June 2014, Apple’s App Store contained more than 1.2 million iOS applications. Major versions of iOS are released annually. The current release, iOS 8, was released on September 17, 2014.
