iOS Files

iOS is a proprietary mobile operating system created and developed by Apple Inc., initially released in June 2007 alongside the first-generation iPhone. Originally named iPhone OS, it was rebranded to iOS in 2010 after expanding to the iPod Touch and iPad. Built on Unix foundations via Apple’s Darwin (XNU) kernel, iOS provides the core software platform driving the iPhone ecosystem, managed through four primary architectural layers: Core OS, Core Services, Media, and Cocoa Touch.
