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

It is the operating system that powers many of the company's mobile devices, including the iPhone; the term also includes the system software for iPads (predating iPadOS, which was introduced in 2019) as well as on the iPod Touch devices (which were discontinued in mid-2022).

It is the world's second-most widely installed mobile operating system, after Android.

It is the basis for three other operating systems made by Apple: iPadOS, tvOS, and watchOS.

It is proprietary software, although some parts of it are open source under the Apple Public Source License and other licenses.

Android is a mobile operating system based on a modified version of the Linux kernel and other open-source software, designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.

Android is developed by a consortium of developers known as the Open Handset Alliance, though its most widely used version is primarily developed by Google.

It was unveiled in November 2007, with the first commercial Android device, the HTC Dream, being launched in September 2008.

Mobile app development is the act or process by which a mobile app is developed for one or more mobile devices, which can include personal digital assistants (PDA), enterprise digital assistants (EDA), or mobile phones.

Such software applications are specifically designed to run on mobile devices, taking numerous hardware constraints into consideration.

Common constraints include CPU architecture and speeds, available memory (RAM), limited data storage capacities, and considerable variation in displays (technology, size, dimensions, resolution) and input methods (buttons, keyboard, touch screens with/without styluses).

These applications (or 'apps') can be pre-installed on phones during manufacturing or delivered as web applications, using server-side or client-side processing (e.g., JavaScript) to provide an "application-like" experience within a web browser.

Flutter is an open-source UI software development kit created by Google.

It is used to develop cross platform applications from a single codebase for any web browser, Fuchsia, Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows.

First described in 2015, Flutter was released in May 2017.

IBM PC compatible computers are similar to the original IBM PC, XT, and AT, all from computer giant IBM, that are able to use the same software and expansion cards.

Such computers were referred to as PC clones, IBM clones or IBM PC clones.

The term "IBM PC compatible" is now a historical description only, since IBM no longer sells personal computers after it sold its personal computer division in 2005 to Chinese technology company Lenovo.

The designation "PC", as used in much of personal computer history, has not meant "personal computer" generally, but rather an x86 computer capable of running the same software that a contemporary IBM PC could.

The term was initially in contrast to the variety of home computer systems available in the early 1980s, such as the Apple II, TRS-80, and Commodore 64.

Later, the term was primarily used in contrast to Apple's Macintosh computers.
