IPhone OS version history
- IPhone OS version history
The version history of iPhone OS spans from its release on June 29 2007 to the present day. This operating system from Apple Inc. did not have an official name until the release of the iPhone SDK on March 6, 2008. Before then, Apple marketing literature simply stated that the iPhone runs "OS X", an ambiguous reference to iPhone OS's parent, Mac OS X.
