Your comment contradicts itself. It wasn't always called iOS if it was called iPhone OS "for a very short period of time."
And the period of time was not "very short" by my definition at least.

> Apple announced iPhone OS 1 at the iPhone keynote on January 9, 2007, and it was released to the public alongside the original iPhone on June 29, 2007.

It was called iPhone OS for roughly 3 years. About 25% of the time since the OS was released it was called iPhone OS.

- brandonfro 7y agoThe iPod touch and iPad were not released when iOS was called iPhone OS.
- george_perez 7y agoThe iPod touch launched 2 months after the original iPhone launched, and they both ran iPhone OS. Why are you so stubborn over something that can be easily searched and debunked? iPhone OS existed until iPhone OS 3.2.2 when it was renamed to iOS in iOS 4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_version_history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_version_history
- tinus_hn 7y agoIOS (and iPhone) were trademarks owned by Cisco so Apple had to license them. As far as I remember for iPhone they just released it and then bargained using the exclusive vpn client being Cisco’s. I don’t know what they gave for iOS.
