Develop for iOS (Apple) 2

iOS version history

Version 4, announced in April 2010, introduced multitasking, threaded email, and several business-oriented features.[13] At the WWDC 2010 keynote on June 7, 2010, Apple announced that iPhone OS had been renamed iOS.[14] 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.[15]

Apple released iOS 4 on June 21, 2010, three days before the iPhone 4,[16] in an effort to reduce the strain on Apple's servers. iOS 4 is the first version of the OS to be a free upgrade on the iPod touch; Apple had charged $9.99 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.[17]


iOS 4.0.1 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 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 4.0.2 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.[18]

iOS 4.1 for the iPhone and iPod Touch was released on September 8, 2010; the update fixes some bugs reported by users, improves battery life and adds a new feature called Game Center, which allow gamers to multiplay, upload high scores and to unlock achievements (though, Apple removed Game Center from the iPhone 3G due to reports on slow performance) and adds initial support for the iPod Touch 4th Generation and the Apple TV 2G. iOS 4.1 also updated carrier settings which in the US was AT&T 8.0 and enabled toggling Check Spelling On/Off. iOS 4.1 also adds HDR photography,[19] a feature that only the iPhone 4 is capable of using. TV Show Rentals are available on the iTunes US Store. iOS 4.1 also adds a new feature called Ping which is a social music network and discovery tool.
