Abstract

iOS has been around since 2007, when we first saw the iPhone, a beautiful device with iOS in it. Developed by the Apple Macintosh team, it was originally called iPhone OS, was renamed to iOS in 2010, and now runs Apple’s iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. It is the second most popular mobile phone in the world after Android. iOS has been around for nine years and we have seen a lot of changes since its launch. It has always been in the spotlight for its security bugs, with the first bug hitting the web in 2007.
