Audio Units (AU) are a system-level plug-in architecture provided by Core Audio in Apple's macOS and iOS operating systems.

Audio Units are a set of application programming interface (API) services provided by the operating system to generate, process, receive, or otherwise manipulate streams of audio in near-real-time with minimal latency.

It may be thought of as Apple's architectural equivalent to another popular plug-in format, Steinberg's Virtual Studio Technology (VST).

Because of the many similarities between Audio Units and VST, several commercial and free wrapping technologies are available (e.g. and FXpansion).

An audio plug-in, in computer software, is a plug-in that can add or enhance audio-related functionality in a computer program.

Such functionality may include digital signal processing or sound synthesis.

Audio plug-ins usually provide their own user interface, which often contains GUI widgets that can be used to control and visualise the plug-in's audio parameters.

iOS (formerly iPhone OS) is a mobile operating system created and developed by Apple Inc. exclusively for its hardware.

It is the operating system that presently powers many of the company's mobile devices, including the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.

It is the second most popular mobile operating system globally after Android.

iPad tablets are also the second most popular, by sales, against Android since 2013.

iPad is a line of tablet computers designed, developed and marketed by Apple Inc., which run the iOS mobile operating system.

The first iPad was released on April 3, 2010; the most recent iPad models are the 9.7-inch iPad Pro released on March 31, 2016 and the iPad Mini 4, released on September 9, 2015.

The user interface is built around the device's multi-touch screen, including a virtual keyboard.

The iPad includes built-in Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity on select models.

As of January 2015, there have been over 250 million iPads sold.

iPad tablets are second most popular, by sales, against Android-based ones, since 2013, when Android tablet sales increased by 127%.

Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google, based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.

Android's user interface is mainly based on direct manipulation, using touch gestures that loosely correspond to real-world actions, such as swiping, tapping and pinching, to manipulate on-screen objects, along with a virtual keyboard for text input.

In addition to touchscreen devices, Google has further developed Android TV for televisions, Android Auto for cars, and Android Wear for wrist watches, each with a specialized user interface.

Variants of Android are also used on notebooks, game consoles, digital cameras, and other electronics.
