What Does IOS Mean in a Text?
The Quick Answer
IOS means "Internet Operating System" or "iPhone Operating System" (Apple).More Detail...
The abbreviation IOS (typed iOS) means "Internet Operating System" or "iPhone Operating System." It is the operating system used on Apple products, such as the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. When presenting the iMac to the world in 1998, Steve Jobs explained that the letter "i" stood for "internet" and also for "individual," "instruct," "inform," and "inspire." Thereafter, the lowercase letter "i" became part of Apple's branding and was used in the names of devices that did not connect to the internet. In 2007, when the iPhone was launched, one of its key features was internet connectivity. Thereafter, iOS came to mean "iPhone Operating System."Image for IOS
