iOS is merely an iteration of a platform that's been under development for over 20 years.
It took Microsoft over 10 years to create a consumer-friendly version of Windows NT, and almost another 10 years to deliver an acceptable followup.
Software is hard. Consumer software much harder. Platforms take years and years to develop and mature.
