The iOS logo

iOS, formerly known as iPhone OS (and even Snow Leopard), is the operating system for the iPhone, iPod touch, iPad and Apple TV 2G. iOS has four abstraction layers: the Core OS layer, the Core Services layer, the Media layer, and the Cocoa Touch layer. The OS takes ~350MB of the device's total memory storage, this means that users will not get their full storage space.

In iOS 4.0+, it takes up ~800MB of space, changing the root partition from 500MB to 1000MB, due to the 2x graphics that have been added for the iPhone 4 and iPod touch 4G retina displays.

In iOS 5.0, Apple enable Multitasking gestures by default w/o the need for a jailbreak[1]
