Originally launching alongside the iPhone as ‘iPhoneOS’, iOS is a modern mobile operating system. It is based on the same source code and operating kernel as macOS (formerly known as OS X).
Apple has officially announced WWDC 2026, scheduled for June 8-12. The event will focus on a significant Siri overhaul, transforming it into a more conversational and context aware assistant.
