![]() As you will see in this guide and in your own use of iOS, apps are an integral part of the user experience and can greatly expand the functional potential of your iPhone. ![]() In Windows vernacular, these pieces of software are sometimes referred to as programs, particularly in the days of Windows 7 and earlier. The iPhone and iPod Touch, and to a lesser extent the iPad, are known collectively as iOS devices or “iDevices” for short.Īpplications or “Apps” are pieces of software that add specific functionality to an operating system. This device was discontinued in 2022 and cannot run the current version of iOS. In addition to the iPhone, iOS previously powered the iPod Touch, a device with a similar design to the iPhone, but without cellular connectivity, an advanced camera, biometric authentication, or the same level of computational power as the iPhone and iPad. However, I don’t have an iPad, so cannot comment in this guide on what features and processes are the same or different between the two operating systems. ![]() As the features of iPadOS are in some cases identical to those of iOS, the iPad may feel very familiar to you if you’ve used an iPhone or iPod Touch. That year, Apple forked off the version of iOS for the iPad and now refers to it as iPadOS, which provides similar functionality to iOS with the addition of tablet specific features. IOS is the operating system that powers the iPhone and until 2019, the iPad. One quality that I’ve observed in my over ten years of learning and using iOS is that once I had a few things mastered, I could apply those skills to accomplish a wide variety of tasks in both first and third-party apps. Keep in mind that this guide is not intended to describe specific features, but rather to explain the central concepts of using iOS with VoiceOver. That is why in this guide, I will provide a series of tips, organized by heading and subheading, along with links to more comprehensive guides and podcasts from across the AppleVis website. However, if you’re just getting started, the level of information on the Internet can be overwhelming. I would soon realize that it wasn’t nearly as crazy as it sounded, and that I could do things with it that I couldn’t have imagined that would increase my level of independence and improve my overall quality of life. If you’re new to or thinking about getting an iPhone, you may be wondering, as I was at one time, “How, exactly, can a person who can’t see a screen use a device whose primary input surface is one?”
