An Introduction to Modern Mobile Operating Systems

The iPhone has evolved and will keep evolving over the years. One feature that has greatly improved is the camera. Over the years more and more megapixels get added to the camera. From the first iPhone to the iPhone 6 and 6 plus, the megapixels have gone up six. According to Baig & Levitus you can “turn your best photos into a slideshow.” The burst mode has also been added to capture action shots. The camera allows one to crop, change lighting, and have panoramic pictures. The possibilities are endless with the iPhones. People that own the iPhone are not just limited to the iOS system. The phone also has the capability to change. As noted by Baig and Levitus, “while iOS fulfills the day-to-day requirements of most people, there is a community of users who look to further enhance the experience by jailbreaking.” Jailbreaking is a simple process that helps unlock the iOS operating system. This process then grants users access to the Cydia app store. The iPhone then allows all kinds off apps that perform functions not normally possible. The process is easier than connecting your handset to a computer.

Apple is known for coming out with the newest and best technology. Apple has shown a trend of every year releasing a whole new iPhone generation. This year, Apple is stepping up its game. Apple released the iPhone 8 and the newest iPhone, the iPhone X, within months of each other, rather than its typical year gap. (These products success is shown in the line graph on the previous

The act of jailbreaking iDevices has been around since the iPhone hit the market in 2007(Kravits, David. “U.S. Declares iPhone Jailbreaking Legal, Over Apple's Objections.” Wired. 26 July 2010. Web. 5 Sept. 2011.) A jailbroken device simply means “Hacked to be freed from restrictions.”(Jurick et al. 2) Apple has been in a constant battle with jailbreak developers trying to stop these hacks from working and strongly insists, “The limits set on these devices are there for a reason.”(Iang, Don. Personal interview. 5 Sept. 2011) What has been noticed in the jailbreaking community is that these devices are limited way below their true potential, and that the capabilities of the devices are amazing after the device has been jailbroken. Even

Mike Keller’s article “Geek 101: what is jailbreaking?” gives information on what is and how it works on devices made by Apple. I personally have my devices jailbroken because its freedom for my device to install what I want when something new was made by developer that isn’t part of Apple’s company. People who have jailbroken because of me have also agreed it was worth try it because it gave them more things to do

Apple very meticulously examines the trends and lifestyles of consumers as the lifestyle of a person is directly linked to his/ her preferences. As different people have different lifestyles, Apple identified and provided different features for different people in one phone like touch screen, iTunes, iPod for young generation while calendar, emails and web browsing for sophisticated business class people.

We have endless choices to choose from when it comes to purchasing a smart phone. Some base their decision on cost while others want the top of the line. Thanks to Apple and the creative mastermind Steve Jobs, the iphone is competitively priced and delivers amazing features and quality. With many different models to choose from, you are sure to find one that will suit your needs and exceed your expectations. “Almost every new Apple product is thinner, faster, and lighter than its predecessor (Jason Snell, Iphone5 Takes Next Step In Smartphone Evolution, Macworld. December 2012, Vol. 29 Issue 12 pg 28-32).” Over the years I have had many different smart phones but the iphone is

An operating system is the core of any system software. It manages the resources including the memory and the io devices and provides the interface to interact with the system. The operating systems that are used in computers to manage the computer resources and provide the direct user interface to the computer system are the operating systems of a computer whereas the mobile operating system is the operating system specially designed for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. These devices are designed with a limited amount of communication and computing abilities. They are smaller in size, with little memory and processing power compared to the computer operating system. Thus, the mobile operating system is lightweight. Some of the mobiles are iOS, Android, Windows Phones, Black-Berry OS, webOS and Symbian [3].

Another big advantage of the iPhone is its Application Store provided through iTunes. The App Store opened on July 10, 2008 and about a year and a half later, Apple announced that more than 500 million applications have been downloaded. (Myslewski) There is a wide variety of applications available including Facebook, Pandora Radio, YouTube, iBowling and iFitness. While Blackberry offers Application World which was released April 1, 2009 and has about 500 applications, Apple had a head start and offers over 25,000 applications. Clearly Blackberry has a lot of catching up to do

That was all set to change when Apple declared the iPhone in January 2007 and propelled it months after the fact in June. Apple 's concept of the cell phone joined intense sight and sound capacities with the same email and Web searching components as all different cell phones already had. It had a huge shading showcase with a capacitive digitizer, and its client interface was at long last finger-friendly. Furthermore, dissimilar to telephones before it, the iPhone had one and only button all over – the Home button – and three around its edges, two for volume up/down and one for force/standby. Apple 's versatile working framework, iOS, was still exceptionally fundamental at the time, however it was the first look into the new, cutting edge portable cell phone working frameworks we know and love to. This phone release started a transformation of the perception of cellular and mobile communication, which is maybe best outlined by a quote ascribed to Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Inc., that “ the phone was not just a communication tool but a way of

Third-party as well as Apple applications software is run on the iPhone to increase the functionality. These

Apple has made the decision to make their product different from their competitor in 2007. Besides communication, apple iPhone added elements of entertainment to their smartphone, iPhone allow customer to enjoy the music, video, picture and internet access for email and browsing web by using the new technology in their operating system, iOS that allow the third party of company to produce application for the iPhone so that the iPhone users can enjoy more function on the phone. Besides, apple is provide

Abstract: Currently, mobile phone systems are dominating the existing portable device such as Tablet PC’s, Notebooks, and Laptop’s for execution of digital applications [1]. In present situation connecting to data-plan/Wi-Fi (internet) on mobile systems is so easy, as the mobile devices are portable and small can be connected to available networks easily. [2]. Due to this advantage a new concept is emerging that is BYOD “Bring your own mobile device” which means brining our own mobile device to work place and sometimes using mobile device to accomplish the work [3]. In present mobile system there should be a gap in the use of mobile systems for personal and work use due to required

Being an owner of both products is what makes this essay such an informative and persuasive essay. The iPhone is as prohibitive as Apple can make it. In case you like what Apple needs to give you in the iPhone, you 'll never observe. Regardless, in case you require more than what Apple needs to offer you, you 're stuck in a sticky situation. Take Adobe Flash, for occasion. Adobe would love to allow you to view Flash recordings and play Flash diversions on an iPhone, yet Apple will have nothing to do with Flash. Short of the

As the concept of mobile computing is on the rise. It has led to the new personal computing platform called Smartphone devices. According to (Reddi & Yuhao, 2017), there are more than three billion web-connected mobile devices and by 2020, there will be 50 billion of such devices. Increasing number of mobiles devices are connected to the internet every day and the mobile web traffic is gradually exceeding the desktop web traffic. The future of computing will soon transition into mobile computing leaving behind the traditional computing.
