iOS
Apple’s mobile operating system iOS runs exclusively on its own mobile devices such as iPhones, iPads, iPods and Apple TV from the 2nd generation. It is based on a Mac OS X core and uses the HFSX file system, an evolved HFS+. The main feature is the touchscreen that can be operated by swiping gestures. This goes back to ideas from Steve Jobs, who left a considerable legacy to Apple with the mobile “i” devices.
The operating concept of iOS should be kept as simple as possible. iOS does not allow the user direct access to the file system or the command line. Apps can only be downloaded from the App Store or installed via developer access. You then run in a sandbox and can only read and save local files on the device within this sandbox.
