iOS 4, the initial release of iOS
( Preceeded by: iPhoneOS 3 | Current version 15.1 beta (19B5042h) (September 21, 2021) )
iOS is a series of mobile operating systems by Apple Inc. for their lines of iPods, iPhones, and iPads.

iOS is a touch screen, gesture based mobile operating system. It is designed only for Apple devices, and as of 2021, it has not been emulated in a virtual machine (as far as I know)
In 2019, iOS was forked to create iPadOS to work on iPods, starting with iPadOS 13 with iPadOS
